Anyone care to recommend a specific household lightbulb to stock up on while it's still legal to express our preferences in the marketplace? I remember how rough the initial transition from incandescents was.
Lots of great data points (and a little bit of snark)
I have a large installation of them in my home and have custom programming for circadian rhythms.
Works great technically speaking. Subjectively I think it organically works great too. Definitely when waking up at 4am for the bathroom having a 5% dim 6500k light to aim by instead of a super bright 2500k light is way better.
I guess you could just buy brighter bulbs and put a blue-blocker filter on them.
The marginal cost of intelligent/smart bulbs is 3x or what not. Given how long they last, for many folks it seems like an easy win. The adaptability is great. Yeah you can eskew it & just do a thing, & yeah many consumers just won't get there, but damn, it's so nice having per-bupb adjustable brightness & color temp everywhere. For pretty minimal addition vs where we had been.
And they all seem to be "smart" and "color".
Any options for non-smart and "white" (≤3500K)?

I’m sure their normal LED lights are great (and cheaper), but I went all in on RGB lights. They stay in “normal” daylight mode most of the time, but I like having the option.
The least shit brand is Philips.
They are all still working fine.
Most of them don't get heavy use, but my bathrooms both have several of the 100 W equivalents and those get used several times every day.
