Review on πŸ”† Certified Dimmable Changing LED Bulb – Equivalent to Daylight by Paula Stewart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but daylight is pretty blue.

I bought this set of two lamps in a cheaper "Daylight" version with plans to use just one of these to power a lamp that is not in a switched outlet located that is physically difficult to reach. I just needed a quick and cheap solution. I had an army of single socket Phillips Hue lightbulbs a while back and it's a long and irrelevant story but I lost them when I moved. When I lived alone the Hue bulbs were great but my partner doesn't see the point of them and doesn't want to use the app or talk to Alexa to turn on the lights. So there are three lamps in this room and only one of them, which only I use, is smart. The quality of the light from other lamps is much nicer than the light from this lamp. These are just standard "soft white" CFLs, and this light is a shocking blue by comparison. Actually, the CFLs are probably yellow and that light is white, but I really miss the light temperature control I had with the Hue bulbs. If you hesitate, choose the temperature-controlled white light option. To be honest I don't often open the download app to customize the lightbulb because there is a widget for iOS and I just click on that icon. turn the lights on and off, or sometimes Alex does. Setup was unremarkable: painless and quick, and has been working flawlessly ever since. It's more responsive than my Hue bulbs; slightly less delay before turning on or off. Overall this product works and is a good deal but I wish I had a better option. Update: After writing the review, I found that I'm still within the exchange window. I replaced the "daylight" bulbs with "tunable white". (At the time of this writing, the custom white option is sold out and not listed on this product page, but it may be restocked. I'm hoping it will be restocked because I might happily buy more. The little boys are in some at the moment. ) The lightbulb is now all I wanted. Five stars for adjustable white light, four stars for daylight.
