These bulbs are not economical at all because I have to constantly replace them. Saving on electricity does not justify these expensive bulbs burning out in less than a year. The only two that have lasted are in my range hood for light above my stove. Those experience extreme heat and yet they are fine. I have had to replace 2 light fixtures that have permanent LEDs and no replaceable parts too.

    I once bought a test bulb cheap off Primecables. The colour was shit and the bulb turned on 5 minutes later after being turned off in the app. Threw it out a day after installing, and bought Phillips Wizz. 2 years later my whole apartment is full of them, no issues whatsoever. 15$/bulb but worth it imo. Much more reasonable buy than Hue.
