I’m back again with another Philips hue deal
According to my previous post, most people are willing to pay more for the 1600 lumens and they have dropped in price
Cheapest according to camel^3

CamelCamelCamel.
Any cashback options? That’s a tad more than I wanted to spend
Grabbed a couple. Cheers
Yes that’s what I needed LOL 1600lms yes
Hey cool, I'll actually be able to see in my office now
Good thing not actually 100w, otherwise you might go blind
Just to clarify, this bulb does not use 100 watts but puts out a similar lumen output as the old incandescent light bulbs.
In the specs on the Philips website it states that " Wattage = 15W" standby is 0.5W which is quite good.
If you only wanted warm white then the Philips website is selling them for $44.95
I need E27 :(
These will automatically act as a relay for other ZigBee devices if they're powered on (but not necessarily lit up). So if you've got a battery powered device at the other end of the house, one of these nearby will help get its messages to whatever ZigBee hub you have. It works around the "15 directly connected devices" limit, too.
If you're using Home Assistant, /Settings/Devices and Integrations/ZigBee/Configure/Visualisation will show you the current topology.
These were $55 on Prime Day. Grabbed a couple then and they’re way more suitable to light up a room compared to the older model I replaced.
Edit: oops $55 was for the ambiance one. This is a great price for colour. Thanks OP grabbed a couple!
Bought 10 of these two months before I moved to a house with downlights 😥
Then get Hue downlights. They are awesome…
$600 worth of lightbulbs hurts even with a viable replacement
Around $20 per bulb…

I only had 2 rooms of 6 each to do…
ie. did not use them to replace downlights in kitchen, just put normal leds there for around $10 each.
Selling?
@Tacooo: Who buys second hand lightbulbs? I’ve got some leftovers from when I was trialing alternatives because Hue are so damn expensive.
Dang das bright
Dutch, not German
Wish it was for the E27 fitting too (ringed screw…).
Wonder why not !! they're the same otherwise..
B22-to-E27 adaptors are pretty cheap, you just need to check sizing - ie. if bulb + adaptor can be squeezed into your light fitting.
Particularly with these mega-sized 1600 bulbs - they are 131 x 67 mm, versus 110 x 60 mm for the 1100lm
Worth noting that these adapters dont meet standards in oz. If something were to happen then your insurance might be void…
lol, voiding insurance is the least you should be worry about. Chances of that adaptor causing fire is like the other end of winning lotto spectrum, there's an article regarding those adaptor causing electrocution due to difference in safety mechanism and the risk was more about getting electrocuted than anything else.
when you say don't meet standards - does that mean these guys are selling them illegally?

A good screw is always going to cost more. Unless it’s on special, of course
They are probably overstocked with B22 and want to get rid of them. All new builds in the last (more than) few years are equipped with E27 and people doing renovations also do E27.
My opinion, not via any sort of testing - the 1100 lumen versions are not a noticeable increase in brightness over the standard 800 lumen Hue bulbs.
Haven't compared to the OP's 1600 lumen bulbs, but personally I think the 1100lm versions are a waste of money over 800.
Might get one of these 1600 at this price to compare, actually.
Thanks OP
interested to know if 1600lm is much brighter. I am waiting to get at least 10 1600lm for a while now.
Brightness perception is logarithmic, the same as volume control. Each doubling feels like one step up.
So if an 800 lumen dimmer bulb goes to 10, 1600 goes to 11.
The problem is that these are not really twice the lumens of the old bulb. They only do 1600 lumens in cold blue daylight mode.
Personally I like a cooler light, so 1500 lumen at 400K would suit me. But most people seem to like warm white.
In standard 2700K mode (as used by plain white Hue) they are only 1200 lumens, which is not such a noticeable increase over 800.
According to the hue website the pure soft white 100W version of the bulb puts out 1600lm at 2700k.
I agree that tho that the colour bulbs do not output the same amount of light over the spectrum. TBH I have no need for colour bulbs (having bought early LIFX ones they were fun for a while but the novelty soon wears off).
In standard 2700K mode (as used by plain white Hue) they are only 1200 lumens
Wow OK in that case I'm not interested any more. I like my lights at 3500K.
Do you have info like this for the 1100 lumen bulbs too?
If you look at the specs for this bulb you see
Lumen output at 4000K 1597 lumen
Lumen output at 2700K (out-of-the-box setting) 1055 lumen
I’m not entirely sure this is the same model of bulb… (yeah, this is the screw version)
@tharlow: Here's a summary, from the AU site listings:
B22 white ambiance 1100:
Lumen output at 4000K: 1,100 lumen
Lumen output at 2700K (out-of-the-box setting): 806 lumen
B22 white+colour 1100:
Lumen output at 4000K: 1,055 lumen
Lumen output at 2700K (out-of-the-box setting): 800 lumen >> also says 806 lm further down in the specs, go figure
E27 white ambiance 1600:
Lumen output at 4000K: 1,600 lumen
Lumen output at 2700K (out-of-the-box setting): 1,200 lumen
E27 white+colour 1600:
Lumen output at 4000K: 1,597 lumen
Lumen output at 2700K (out-of-the-box setting): 1,055 lumen
(For whatever reason, search results for the B22, 1600 lm bulbs link to E27 specs)
Brightness perception is logarithmic
Technically not, but close :)
Fair enough, but I notice a massive difference. In partial support of your viewpoint, brightness does not follow a linear… brightness follows a logarithmic curve, where perceived light = √measured light. A space dimmed to 50 percent only appears to be dimmed 30 percent.
perceived light = √measured light.
math nerd alert. Logarithmic curve if very different to square root.
A space dimmed to 50 percent only appears to be dimmed 30 percent.
What does that mean? There is no percentage scale in perception.
@bargaino: I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask me… the human perception of brightness is non-linear. If you’re really interested in this topic, you seem to know more than I do about it…?

Very different? Math nerd alert: of course they are not. In fact, by nature of the logarithm, most log graphs tend to have the same shape, looking similar to a square-root graph:
What does that mean? There is no percentage scale in perception.
If I perceive a light (A) to be twice as bright as another light (B), I could say that light B is dimmed by 50% (compared to light A). In mathematics, a percentage (from Latin per centum "by a hundred") is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100
😲
Do you have shares in a power plant?
Unlikely, they probably couldn't read the details on that either
Is it OOS?
Can't find it, Link go to the E27 version for $107???

Imagine the glare on that bad boy
There's none; the whole front of the thing is a diffuser.
To spread the glare
$1.25 for the Arlec RGB 806 lumens at bunnings padstow
