Seems like a decent price if you just wanted it for the colour and not use the night vision feature for your camera. Free C&C or $0 delivery on orders over $55.

I assumed Officeworks is clearing stocks for the newer model which is 100 lumens brighter for an extra ~$54…

    e27 one is not available online for some reason. (VIC)
    B22 otoh is available

    • Classical on 21/07/2021 - 14:22

      Hmm weird I just ordered some e27 in Victoria. Maybe try a different store?

    • damion on 21/07/2021 - 14:26

      I think something must be a bit weird in their system. When I clicked a few minutes earlier, none were available for C&C, but now some are.

    • LeftHandSeat on 21/07/2021 - 15:51

      I cleared out the online ones yesterday morning. 6 online fulfilment, and 1 click and collect from local store.
      Bought a few in-store last week as well. They are really old stock. One of them was faulty.

    • amuthan on 21/07/2021 - 22:46

      I managed to buy one at Geelong OW for $28 last week.

  • bamzero on 21/07/2021 - 14:28

    My LIFX+ IR was working great up until a couple of weeks ago when I upgraded the firmware from 2.77 to 2.80.

    Now I get frequent disconnects, when it does stay connected usually ends up taking ages to respond, sometimes 30 secs later.

    Not sure if these are same gen as mine, wish they were as reliable as my LIFX Originals, been rock solid for 5 years.

      Hit and miss for me. Can be troublesome if you've got both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi with the same SSID.
      I've had one get hot and brittle and the outer plastic casing split open. But the deliver a good bright light and are generally fairly responsive.

      They are old stock, don't list the HomeKit compatibility that came with later firmware updates.
      Most updated okay with the latest firmware, but one new one failed to connect at all, and won't accept a firmware update. Contacted Lifx support and they told me it must be a faulty one. But.. "we encourage you to hold shipping any claims until our facility fully re-opens". Back to OfficeWorks this one will go.

      • bamzero on 21/07/2021 - 18:29

        Yeh not sure what it is. I've tried all the suggestions I could find, now running on a separate 2.4 only SSID with WMM disabled, didn't seem to help. They can go days ok then disconnect multiple times in an hour. Could just be something between LIFX and my Unifi AP, however my Originals,Tuya lights and switches etc run fine on my 2.4/5 combined SSID with WMM enabled.

        BTW, did your bulbs force update to latest version during setup? Tried a factory reset on the bad one? (Just take your time between the 5x off/on routine, too fast and I've found it doesn't always take.)

        • LeftHandSeat on 21/07/2021 - 18:34

          Yep, first couple tried to update automatically via the iOS app worked okay. Then next one failed in the app. Tried to hard reset it and update via the desktop firmware updater. Reports firmware update failed. And it doesn't do the quick blink off and on like the successful ones. Tried the remainder with the desktop updater, and no worries at all.

      • HunterBargainHunter on 21/07/2021 - 22:51

        might just explain why my lifx has been so unreliable
        cheers

          They have always have had issues. Every few weeks I need to turn some off and on again. I wish they would have a watchdog timer and reboot themselves if they cant ping the network for 2 hours etc!

      Nice effort with the formatting there vu!

  • bighalf on 21/07/2021 - 15:16

    When in IR mode, do these bulbs glow red (similar to a camera IR vision)?

    • JackFrost on 21/07/2021 - 15:33

      No haha, infrared is non-visible light, I don’t use the feature but I believe its on at a minimum of 5% light. So the light has to be on to emit infrared. You can of course choose to have red light on when using this but its not automatic.

    • damion on 21/07/2021 - 15:36

      I was expecting them to, but the IR floodlight versions i have don’t emit any visible light when in nightvision mode.

      • bighalf on 21/07/2021 - 15:45

        Good to know, I would prefer them to appear ‘off’. I guess CCTV cameras glow red as a deterrent only! Thank you.

        • CacheHunter on 21/07/2021 - 16:41

          Red glow can depend on what frequency IR they are emitting and how broad a range of frequencies are being emitted. . There's then a distribution around that (think bell curve) and depending on the central IR frequency and how wide the distribution is. Sometimes the band/frequency range spills into the visible frequencies, resulting in the red glow.
          I don't know whether this used a deliberate deterrent effect, or just a consequence of having an emitter not far out of the visible spectrum.

        • bamzero on 21/07/2021 - 18:34

          What newdad said.

          These are in the non-visible range. You can use the IR when the light brightness is set between 0 and 5%, can disable altogether or set to 25, 50 or 100% power.

  • darknebula on 21/07/2021 - 15:37

    Can anyone comment how these go to supplement the IR on CCTV cameras?

    I have some Hikvision DS-2CD2385FWD that i've considered supplementing with additional IR

    • damion on 21/07/2021 - 16:39

      I have two BR30 on my patio and with IR illumination it looks like (B&W) daytime brightness with my D-link DCS-8600LH.

    • bobvegas on 21/07/2021 - 17:42

      Cameras generally want 850nm'ish IR light to see. People are saying the IR this produces doesn't glow red, so I expect it's more towards 900mhz. meaning your camera will be much less sensitive. It still might do the job

  • rigram on 22/07/2021 - 07:09

    Down to $28 each in Darwin, boxes covered in dust…

  • RambunctiousRog on 22/07/2021 - 13:47

    Picked up a couple e27 in Adelaide (Keswick) marked down to $28

    If anyone's still looking, further reduced to $20
