I've decided to use this bulb outside in my standard porch. Yes, I see it's not for outside, but my porch is very safe. And I figured I'd used every lightbulb in 30 years, so I'm guessing living so precariously during a pandemic. I have never been able to use an electric eyepiece; The light is so shielded from the sun that it was on all the time. I really wanted it to be automated just wirelessly. It fits the bill and the colors are fun. It goes beautifully with the Atomi color changing garlands already installed on the porch. Both are controlled by the same easy-to-use phone app. Setup was easy too.
