These bulbs are not economical at all because I have to constantly replace them. Saving on electricity does not justify these expensive bulbs burning out in less than a year. The only two that have lasted are in my range hood for light above my stove. Those experience extreme heat and yet they are fine. I have had to replace 2 light fixtures that have permanent LEDs and no replaceable parts too.

    How do you feel about the color changing/smart bulbs? I have the ikea ones and basically have them on most of the time for several years now.

      Ooo I’ve got an Osram one for my living room. Works with either automation or a quick flick of the on off switch.

      IKEA bulbs used to be very good, I don’t know if they are still. There are some ten year old ones in my chalets, though their light output is pretty pathetic compared to modern ones
