I know OzB has a love affair with Yeelights, but for the technology illiterate this is a good alternative. No need for smartphone or dimmer
Functions the same way LED torches do, with a quick flip of the power switch to change between full light and dim
Was selling for $17, so at $10 right now its 40% off the usual price
Nation wide

See review here for more details on how it works

Edit: Good news! I went down to my local, and they're selling both bayonette and ES types for the same price

    Whats the difference other than the high power consumption?

      The one on sale is bright, medium, dim. The 9.5w variant switches between two different colours. Cool white and Warm.

  8W sounds quite dim. What is that the equivalent to in old-man-speak?

      Cheers. I guess I am old. 60W to me is too dim.
      I use 75W minimum. 3x100W in the kitchen.

      A point for the 'tech illiterate'. Since it doesn't use damaging wifi.

        @evocable: If chilled, I'd also be concerned about hydrogen dioxide condensation, especially as it conducts electricity.

  Just a note, "ES" stands for Edison screw mount, They are uncommon in Australia

  But Philips LED Globes are great!

    huh? the last 5-6 houses I can think of that I've lived in all used screw fittings as have all the lamps I've used. I have to think back 15-20 years to remember a bayonet style bulb… weird that your experience is different to mine.

      He's right though. Although use has picked up, bayonette is the predominate form sold in electrical supply stores.

    What's worse is when your house has both types! Need to keep spares of both types. Plus I've also got those cfl round tube style ones for the kitchen too. :(

      ha! I actually like to mix them up. We have chandeliers, so the effect is interesting, but yes it can get disorientating when walking from room to room and the light changes.
