Looking for something with warm hues (should be available with any rgb right?) and a long lifetime. I dont want to ever replace light fixtures again. Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I mean I recommend Philips Hue for all lighting products if you are looking for the “best”, but they’re expensive af
Geeni makes a Walmart specific brand that does alright as a Hue replacement. I had a few Hue lights but after we moved into our house I wanted to get more lights for all rooms and saw them and tested one out in my kid’s room for a while and it worked so I swapped them all out and offloaded my Hue lights at a garage sale we had a while after.
How are they holding up? Ive heard that the bulb based solutions degrade over time due to heat dissipation issues. Strip lighting is more attractive to me because i can replace a single LED if it goes bad, as opposed to throwing away a whole bulbs worth plus the power supply, SoC and wifi
I picked them up like 3 years ago and not a single one has failed l. The real issue is that the app isn’t great and it can be finicky trying to get a bulb on your network. The app also has telephony and it their servers are down they don’t work.
I actually want them to fail so I can eventually replace them with regular ones. Trying to do home automation is starting to be more of a hassle than I care about. I can still see the appeal of it though.
