>>109258637Same here although E27 is deprecated and anyone buying new should get a fixture with integrated LED's.Never had one fail so never had the opportunity to upgrade.
>>109258765Opposite experience here (ceiling light). Ended up modding it to accept two E27s instead. Integrated works until it doesn't. Then you'll buy nothing but standardized.
>>109258548Cheap TP-Link bulbs that I've written a script for that slowly changes their temperature from 6500K to 2700K on sunset. Based on some guy's repo. He figured out that the "encryption" they use is just a JSON in BASE64 and then reversed. Guess they've read that jeet who posted the same thing on Stack Overflow a decade ago.

>>109258765>get a fixture with integrated LED'sIt's gonna die, then instead of screwing in a new bulb I have to replace the whole thing which is going to be a pain in the ass. And when it dies in 5, 10, 15 years they won't be selling the same model any more and I'll have mismatched lights.I really don't like the idea.
Still rocking my Phillips Huesfor me, it's dark red in gaming sessions
>>109258849The main problem with bulbs is they keep the heat in, frying the electronics dramatically reducing the lifespan.A well designed fixture will have the heat sensitive electronics far away from the LED chips and a decent heat sink for the LED chips themselves. Bulbs are also less efficient because they throw light in all directions including straight up against the ceiling which is wasteful and adds extra heat.And a fixture doesn't add much to the production cost if anything at all vs. bulbs.The only downside is that they're harder to replace but unless you buy utter garbage they should easily last 20+ years.
>>109258884based, the only actual good RGB bulbs in the thread.
>>109258924My ceiling and floor lamps are designed with LED bulbs in mind, not incandescent, and allow for sufficient airflow around the bulb, I haven't even had a bulb die yet.
>>109258924Not even the expensive ones my family bought lasted the 20 years you advertise. In fact they lasted pretty much just as long as the higher-quality E27 bulbs did. So the issue is something else.
>>109258951And it's fine to use them until they die.Just saying they are deprecated and nobody should buy new bulbs or new fixtures designed for bulbs in 2026.I know it's hard to take Grandpa, but bulbs are 19th century tech that make no sense in the modern world.
>>109258938Yeah but you only really need them if you NEED high CRI tunable white AND RGB LEDs in the same fixture without just replacing the bulb.
every led over 5w makes an annoying buzzing noise
>>109258990Good design is timeless and actually people a long time ago had the right idea when they used to put floor lamps (because it was easier to retrofit in old homes) and sconces instead of ceiling lights.

I'm using 70-100w halogen bulbs specially ordered because i can't find them in the store and you can't stop me. Electricity bill you ask? worth every penny to get that nice halogen light.
I need better lighting for my macro photos
My house was built in the 1950s so I don't have any interesting built in lighting etc. I just run a few Govee A19's for simple on/off timer set ups for stuff like the front porch. 9 watts for 75watt equivalent is fine. I like the RGB so I can say I'm putting up my Christmas light and it's just the porch light set to green. The real winner is a dozen of those $10 for 6 cheapy square plug in Led night lites that have a basic dusk to dawn set up. Two in spare room, one in kitchen and both bath rooms and three in the main living room etc. .5 watts per and more then enough light to roam around at night without needing to turn on anything.
Why not DIY your own using the LED's from discarded LED arrays (controller burned out, but LED's aren't dark/burned out). Confirm polarity, solder, extend the diffuser and you've got some neat monstrosity of a light.
>>109259564Because they won't be calibrated in any way for high CRI.

>>109258984I have a Cree downlight in my bathroom that's like 20 years old. That's when Cree used to make stuff in the USA though. It's got two white LEDs and a cyan and red, so it's back from before they had actual high-CRI white LEDs.
>>109260579Oh shit, I've used those. They suck. They're way too yellow. They only last "20000 hours" because you're getting 50W of light from a 100W bulb.The best bulbs ever were the halogen bulbs BEFORE the watt-saver bullshit. All the watt-saver shit did was use a thinner filament which drew less power and as a consequence, burned out faster.
>>109262768
>>109264099Just use your phone's flashlight, bro.

>>1092665192200 is fine for me.I've got two Ikea 2200k smoked/translucent filament bulbs in two smoked/translucent Ikea Fado lamps (with the zebra cord; not sold in the US iirc) and it's so nice and soothing.
>>109258884Are there any as good as this but don't use some dogshit botnet mobile app instead, like supporting Matter
>>109266594You can buy a standalone hardware controller (comes in the pack of 4), but it's designed for studio use, so the button/menu layout is super clunky. But I mean if you KNOW the exact hue/saturation/brightness value of the color you want and are fine using some physical buttons, then yeah zero app is required.
>>109263892that thing will cook itself and die within 1000 hours
>>109258765e27 is the socket with the largest selection of bulbs. e14 is on its way out>>109258924good filament bulbs are helium filled, buy a fixture that has the socket horizontal and it will live for years
thinking of installing these in the ceiling around the house, rate my choice
>>109266658>>109266594Actually those bulbs support DMX, so you can get a USB to DMX adapter, then their special DMX to USB-C cable, and just run it directly from your desktop and control everything via a custom app you write, or some open source options

is there any cheat to dim, dimmable led lights without the need for an expensive transformer/pwm thing or whatever its called? some cheap thing from ali express or something where i can just plug it with a normal electric chord? ledlight > electrical cord > cheap dimmer > wallsocket.i tried a cheap one from amazon, and it does work but the lowest setting is like 80% brigthness instead of 0%.
>>109269565but y tho
I hate leds. Fuck em. Fuck colored lights. There is no "cold white" there is blue, bullshit and yellow.I hope the pic uploads. Over 300 incandescent lightbulbs from 15 to 1000W here. Most in the 150-250W range.300W bulbs are nice

>>109259536Bulbs aren't going to help you anon.>Easy ModeGet a strobe/speedlite for your camera. Set it to 1/1 and point it upwards towards your ceiling. It's called bounce flash and it'll work well enough. >Intermediate ModeSame, but buy a large diffuser for the speedlite and direct flash it instead. More power directed at it means you can get a deeper DoF and not underexpose.>Fancy ModeBuy two speedlites, two stands, and two lighting umbrellas, along with a camera transmitter. Set them up on either side of the subject and vary the power between them to get a nice, professionally done lighting effect. This is max autism but if you want your mashed banana to look good this is the TOP MINT strategy.
>>109269719Yes they are, my biggest issue right now is shitty 80-85 CRI whites fucking up the colors.
>>109258548I have a ceiling fan with a dimmer that makes my rgb light bulbs flicker if I don't thrn the fan on. Are there even any rgb light bulbs that don't cause this? I just want red light at night.
Yellow, like my sperm.
>>109266507How to signal to other drivers that you're massive fucking faggot who only takes black dick in your prolapsed HIV monkeypoxxed riddled asshole.
>>109269725Nigga what. Is your fan and light spliced on the same line? Or perhaps the globe socket isn't grounded?
>>109269889Yeah it seems to be that way. It's a rental maintained by a single Argentenian who looks German, what can I do?
as much as I like dimmable lighting, it has so many issues with being consistently bright that I can't use it

Unless your going into the>I could also buy a new mid-price one ever 2 years forever and still end up cheaperTerritory, those don’t exist anymore. It’s all cheap crap. Same with led-bulbs. My fist gen ikea all still work, but all my new stuff has to constantly get replaced. Just like in the old days, only that they’re more expensive and more e-waste.
>>109271439Correct
>>109258591The problem isn't that it's power-hungry, the problem is that you can't dissipate 18W off a bulb that size without the LEDs going to 120C and cooking themselves
>>109267831These suck for low ceilings because they mostly shine down and are annoyingly bright to look at, and are useless for high ceilings because you can just get a normal fixture.Also in 2 years some of them will start flickering and dying, but you'll discover that you can't get the same model to replace them anymore and end up with a bunch of different lights.
