Why isn't White and Colour Ambiance?
Colour gets too expensive ($90 ea RRP or $40-50 on sale) for something you’re not gonna use a lot outside of entertaining / TV room.
White Ambiance allows you to go from warm to cool which is great for routines like bedtime (less blue light), activity (daylight), reading / concentrate (cool white). These remains handy even in rooms like toilet and bathroom.
Also the 800ln bulbs in my starter kit are a touch dimmer than I’d like in rooms I need to work in, so take that into consideration too. They’re fine for garage and front door /gate areas though.
Nice deal, needed this. Wonder if Officeworks will price match grey import
Would not recommend screwing in a BC light bulb.
what do you mean
Definitely check out the cheap Sonoff 15w or 18w ZigBee bulbs from AliExpress. They are much brighter and full RGBCW for about $7-8aud each and sometimes less. They perform better at meshing Home Assistant ZigBee networks as well
Got any links or recommendations?

Wonder if Temu have them too

These are the ones. Sorry I thought they were Sonoff but they are Ewelink. RGB with cold and warm white. They're very cheap and bright. I regret not going for these earlier
The cheap lights are always rubbish. They never give warm white at 2700k but instead do just 3000k. They also flicker which strains eyes.
Can't say I've had that experience. I have a combination of Hue, Wiz (poor reliability), IKEA, Samsung (poor reliability), Ewelink, and a bunch of others.
These don’t look like the ambiance one’s
My one broke few weeks ago and barely getting much usage in spare bedroom. Thought they would last longer than about 5 years tbh being LED and all and being quite pricey all those years back.
Even Philips don't seem to stand by their product offering only 2 years
Type of guarantee 2 year manufacturer
I've had a bunch of Hue bulbs going strong for 5-7 years now, with daily use. YMMV.

The white ambience ones are a better option.
