The LIFX bulbs have been on sale for more than a week now and there's an additional $5 off your purchase if you use the above code. There was quite an interest on it when it was last posted a week ago (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/269153). I have a few of them around the house and I use them with my Amazon Echo. For you guys who are into building a Smart Home IoT might be interested with this other post on the Echo Dot too (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/270820).

Edit 8pm: Minimum spend of $39.98 has been added, see here.

I'm new to these smart bulbs and not very energy savvy. Can somebody please help?

How reliable are these bulbs? I find myself replacing light bulbs pretty often, about 5-6 times a year as one of my light fixtures seems to be especially prone to having bulbs go out during adverse weather.
- XeKToReX on 18/10/2016 - 11:17
  
  These are LED so they should last a very long time compared to typical bulbs.

This is a little misleading. Not incorrect, just misleading. You can only get them for $14.99 if you only buy one, as it's only $5 off the entire order.

  You can buy multiple times. They're free delivery anyway. And sounds like you'll have to use multiple emails for every order you make to get $5 each time you buy.

  Very easy to buy more than one with another e-mail though. You don't have to sign up or anything - just enter a different one when checking out.

    This works well for spam purposes. If you use a unique email per site, you can see which one has passed your email on if you start receiving spam from it - and can set up a filter just for that particular variation.

I'd stay away from these. I've got two which are terrible.

My colour just stopped working , gets really hot and then turns off.

My white bulb keeps disconnecting from wifi.

I've moved to Hue which are much more reliable and work with HomeKit.
- gerryg on 18/10/2016 - 12:20
  
  +3
  
  I actually have both, Philips Hue and LIFX in my ecosystem but I prefer LIFX ones since they're much brighter than the Hue. My Philips Hue also disconnects from the wifi due to its distance from the wifi router so I doubt it's the bulb itself. But if it is really the bulb then you should try and claim back from warranty.
  - davef on 19/10/2016 - 08:24
    
    Yeah wifi issue was just on the white. Colour works fine from same distance.
    
    Your hue shouldn't be using wifi , the bridge goes directly into your router and the bulbs communicate using the zigbee protocol
    - gerryg on 19/10/2016 - 09:06
      
      That's right.. sorry, Hue uses the bridge which is sitting next to my router.

    - roddy84 on 18/10/2016 - 18:52
      
      Update - After trying for 3 days it finally was able to connect. It seems to be working again for now.
  - davef on 19/10/2016 - 08:25
    
    +2
    
    Yeah I did contact them , they kept pushing it as a firmware issue and made me do a number of updates, then after it didn't work became unresponsive.
    
    All those things were big enough warning signs, but the fact none of the existing bulbs will be updated to HomeKit makes it clear it's a bad time to invest in these before the release ones that do.

How do you pronounce LIFX?

In my head, I've been reading it as Life-X… Or is it Li-FX (as in short form of light effects)?

The website does a really poor job explaining how it works (zero description at all really) and what is needed for it to work.

Can someone please explain to me is it as simple as plugging this lightbulb into a socket and connecting it to my router for it to work? Do i need any other connecting/control device? Thanks
- Adster01 on 18/10/2016 - 13:09

  You use the LIFX app on your phone. Pretty simple to join to your existing WiFi and once setup, you can configure to turn off or on with certain events using IFTTT.
  - Jackson on 19/10/2016 - 11:27
    
    What sort of "events" are we talking about? Eg. Can I have a light sensor so hat when it hits a certain darkness it turns on? Or when I turn on my bluray it can reduce lighting down?
    
    If it's simply time of day or when you come home, it's easy enough to just use the switch. 15 bucks for a globe isn't cheap, especially if you are having to replace them often
    - gerryg on 19/10/2016 - 16:44
      
      If you have logitech harmony, you can link it up with LIFX so that when your bluray activity starts,it will dim the lights down.
      
      As for your question about turning on when it gets dark, it'll only do that at Sunset. it doesnt have a sensor to know if its dark outside.
      
      I think there is an IFTTT recipe to get your light to turn on if it's raining outside.this relies on weather forecasts though
- MrFunSocks on 18/10/2016 - 15:13
  
  +1
  
  To function as a normal lightbulb you literally just plug them in. To control them with your phone you get the LIFX app and just complete the setup on there, which is really just passing your wifi passsword to the light bulb, and then you're good to go.

- gerryg on 18/10/2016 - 13:51

  That's about it. I guess you'll need a couple of Echos spread through the house so you wouldn't be shouting and asking Alexa to turn on the light at the back of the house (when your Dot is also at the back) when you're at the front. :)
  
  You can also do a few cools things if you have the bulbs linked with an IFTTT account and/or a Yonomi app on your mobile phone.

    It's in the lamp beside the couch, set to a soft blue and is weirdly comforting. Apparently you can use colour to influence mood but I just think it's neat. Also handy to be able to turn it off from bed when it's left on by mistake.

Does anyone know if leaving the light switch on and powering the bulb off by the app means it is using more power in standby than if it was turned off by the switch?
- t3chshopper on 18/10/2016 - 18:51
  
  Yes, about 1W I believe.

    1W per hour?
    - Jackson on 19/10/2016 - 16:27
      
      Watts are a measure of power, so W per hour would be a measure of power over time. As such, if it consumes 1W for 1H, it would be 1Wh
    - wildstone on 19/10/2016 - 17:15
      
      @Jackson:
      
      Yes that's what I were asking, just trying to work out how much electric charges would be by leaving the switch on.
    - Jackson on 19/10/2016 - 17:20
      
      @wildstone: usually charges on bills are shown as kWh which means multiply by 1000 to show watts per hour

  Here's the official figures:
  https://support.lifx.com/hc/en-us/articles/202298574-How-muc…
  
  When I measured mine with two different power meters, it was more like 3.3W on standby (turned off using the app) for the original LIFX bulbs. It's definitely a lot more than I expected. YMMV.

      The positive votes are now misleading as it is suppose to be for the original offer.
