            Their products were very good and slowly people forgot their products were originally meant to be cheap alternatives and they developed into a reputed brand.

      For those who are ignant like me and don't know what it means:

      E27 are standard sized light bulbs (e26 are usually interchangeable) that are most commonly found in ceiling lights.

      E14 are a smaller (so lamps?).

      • tempura on 29/05/2019 - 09:36

        ign or ant …

        They use E40/GES (Giant Edison Screw) bulbs, which are 40mm in diameter, but they aren't normally used in the home. The other most common screw-in bulb for the home is the E14 or SES (Small Edison Screw). This, as you will have correctly guessed has a 14mm diameter screw cap.

        Quoted from UK.

        • Ti-au on 29/05/2019 - 11:51

          I am not black, brown, red, yellow, green or transparent, nor from Egyptian Royalty, so cannot be an ant. There are white ants but they are not ants. As such ign.

          The standard size of screw fitting is the E27 (27mm diameter).

          However there are other common sizes used on mains fittings in Australia such as the E14 also known as the Small Edison Screw (SES) often found in candle light bulbs in chandeliers and decorative table lamps.

          The standard diameter of mains powered bayonet caps is 22mm and the reference number for this cap is B22 (Bayonet, 22mm). Another common bayonet cap is the 15mm (B15).

        Your leaving out the most important b part. The 'E' stands for Edison range which is a screw type fitting founded in the US in the very early 20 century and then them the 'B' type fittings are a bayonet used by the UK and countries it occupied in the day.

        I have a set controlled by Google home.

        Actually, recently Google home has lost one of them and it looks like it's a common issue online. But it works within the Kasa app.
        You can always refund it though. I am happy with the rest of them. The app is not very user-friendly, recently they made it hard to change the lights settings directly but after it's done, you should be fine until something goes wrong.

            There is no insurance issue because you have not done something you are not supposed to.

            IKEA cannot legally sell non compliant electrical items however you are allowed to use (and import) non compliant devices. This does not impact you insurance.

    • mubd1234 on 29/05/2019 - 10:44
      +2

      Ikea used to sell them, but stopped because they're illegal to sell here - they potentially open up the risk of electrocution, as the screw threads must always be connected to neutral to reduce the risk of shock (after all, you're much more likely to contact the screw than the bottom pin if you jam your finger in the socket for whatever reason). It's a 50/50 chance that you'll get the screw active with these adapters, which is why they're illegal.

      You can, of course, still find people on eBay who'll sell you one.

      • KentT on 29/05/2019 - 12:15
        +3

        Put the adapter on the globe, not in the socket.

        All adapter safety concern are now gone.

            @mubd1234: Protect those stupid enough to put their fingers halfway into the socket, but not so stupid as to put their finger all the way into the socket.

            I suppose the cut-off has to be somewhere.

            • mubd1234 on 29/05/2019 - 14:50

              @KentT: I'd imagine it'd be a lot harder to get a full body shock with the bottom pin connected to active versus the other way around. The current would most likely travel only through your finger if you jammed your finger into the socket and contacted the bottom pin (as you'd likely have your finger contacting part of the screw if you were able to touch the bottom pin).

        • spaceflight on 29/05/2019 - 16:42

          Then you risk over tightening the Edison screw as you twist the bayonet fitting.

          And then how do you remove it?

          The safest thing to do it make sure the light switch is turned off.

    • Soapdroid on 29/05/2019 - 10:51

    • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2019 - 11:24

      Well if you compare Tp-Link with Tp-Link, no!

      If the regular bulbs do the job for you, you don't need these. Though, these are packed with functions, depending on the model, apart from being smart and accessible remotely and compatible with Google home, Amazon's Alexa,… they are programmable to run your favourite schedule. Also tell you the electricity consumption and predict your usage over the next year. This one is apparently only monochrome but dimmable and looks only 600lm which is not that bright. Also, surely more expensive than regular bulbs.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/05/2019 - 11:13

      I don't think these use more than a couple of bytes per hour. If you have a multi channel router you wouldn't even notice it but I have a few repeaters as separate hotspots to keep the wireless devices in order. Total of 5 access points. Also Tp-Link uses a technology that only the first device connects to your LAN and act as an access point for the rest of their devices.

      How does it have zero need to be Wi-Fi connected?

        It’s just general 2.4GHz pollution I’m worried about.

        Run a spectrum analyser on the ISM bands, and you’ll see they’re getting increasingly over-crowded by “Internet connected toasters” and “wifi enabled toilets”.

        Every product seems to want a wireless connection these days.

        It’s insane we’re using the ISM band for wired devices when we’d be much better to use X10 power-line signalling. I mean, light bulbs are wired in already.

      Just chuck all the low-bandwidth 'just needs a connection' stuff on the 2.4GHz, and operate all demanding stuff on 5GHz. Problem solved. I have 2 5GHz bands, and put mobile devices on one, and static devices on another. And operate a guest network on another 2.4GHz band. So my neighbours love me, as I'm consuming the whole spectrum :)

        • Make it so on 29/05/2019 - 13:21

          Actually, I do. On the 2.4GHz spectrum, there are only 3 non-overlapping channels. I am occupying the first and last, which means my neighbours have one channel left that does not overlap with one of my 2.4GHz channels. On the 5GHz, not all channels have the same width, and if you use wide channels then there is still overlap. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

          • LinkMonkey on 30/05/2019 - 14:06
