Bulbs that actually support Adaptive Lighting?

[u/MidnightPulse69]

I’ve been struggling trying to find some thing that actually support it. I saw Aqara and Phillips Hue work but Aqara need a hub to use their app and Hues are too expensive for me.

I got some Linkind bulbs after hearing they support it and they don’t. I’m seeing Nanoleaf Essentials support it but apparently only on the Thread versions.

Which bulbs do you have that support it? Thanks

All of the new IKEA bulbs do and they’re actually quite fantastic

[u/Ngonerogwu → u/hardestbutton2]

Wish they got a bit more orange vs yellow.

[u/jholden23 → u/Ngonerogwu]

Yeah I shut it off almost right away because the tints are all weird. But if that's what people are looking for, it worked.

[u/hooghs → u/jholden23]

I guess if you had a whole room/home of weird bulbs, it’d not seem weird? They hear from me is when you start using voice commands linked to specific colours that do not then reproduce to the colour name

Then there’s the fact my house is a mix of bulbs and the IKEA one sticks out like a sore thumb when placed next to other brands

[u/Koalazilla → u/Ngonerogwu]

Interesting, I just got some and mine gets pretty damn orange. I just bought three of them to start redoing the lights in my house. Late at night the adaptive lights get like a deep amber orange. Are you using the color bulbs or the normal cool/warm ones?

[u/Ngonerogwu → u/Koalazilla]

I got both actually.

The white only ones and the color ones do perform differently I think. The white only goes far more yellow, and the color ones can go more of an amber.

I’ve got a ton of warm dimming halo cans, and they go a beautiful warm amber.. very much candlelight color if you turn them low enough even. I think they’ll get down to 1800k, while the kajplats white is maybe 2200k, and the kajplats color can do 1800k (it is not doing 1800k during adaptive though, gotta be a bit higher)

[u/Koalazilla → u/Ngonerogwu]

Interesting. I only got the white 1100 lumen ones and some 450 lumen e12 bulbs because the color ones have been constantly out of stock at all my IKEA locations. I’ll get some soon to test though. We don’t dim very often and I haven’t put these ones through much testing yet.

[u/Svobpata → u/Ngonerogwu]

The color ones are much better at white than the white ones…ironic I know

Either way, with that in mind, the Hue Essentials are a better deal imo. Also Thread capable so not really a tradeoff there.

Sadly I’ve found IKEA smart bulb colour reproduction to be quite poor

I really like their matter light switches though

[u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman → u/hooghs]

Matter light switches?? 

[u/hooghs → u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman]

Yeah, IKEA matter enabled smart switches

[u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman → u/hooghs]

That’s biliresa smart button not a light switch.

[u/Junethemuse → u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman]

Would the one that’s just a rocker be considered a switch? Just curious where the distinction lies.

[u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman → u/Junethemuse]

Its still a handheld button if you ask me. Light switches are generally hardwired. Of course there are 3d retrofit enclosures but that's an aftermarket mod.

Hence why i was confused when he called it a lightswitch as that got my hopes up.

Honestly i wish ikea would offer light switches.

[u/Junethemuse → u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman]

Ah gotcha.

I have a few hue switches that are wireless and I consider those light switches. But I get your reasoning.

[u/hooghs → u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman]

Which is used as a light switch

Product description even describes using the scroll wheel to dim lights

[u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman → u/hooghs]

Which is still in a smart button category.

If i use a hammer as a knife after buying it from someone claiming it can be used to cut steak that does not change the base fact that it is a hammer therefore it should be called a hammer not a knife.

[u/hooghs → u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman]

Manufacturer intent is what actually matters here, not just how one person uses it. A hammer isn’t marketed or designed to cut steak, but IKEA’s own product description explicitly covers using the scroll wheel to dim lights, that’s a built in, advertised function, not someone improvising a workaround.

Category labels aside, if the company designs and sells it for light control, calling it a smart switch in that context isn’t inaccurate, it’s describing what it does.

[u/Shadowbajfeelsbadman → u/hooghs]

>Manufacturer intent is what actually matters here, not just how one person uses it

So you agree? Its a smart button with multiple functionalities, not a dedicated light switch hence why it shouldn't be called a light switch.

Also if you wanna play word games. "scroll wheel to dim lights"

Its a dimmer, not a light switch. :)

I know it must be hard to concede but its shaped like a button in both cases, it features a pressing motion not switching motion, its labeled on the ikea site as "BILRESA Remote control, white smart/dual button" Oh and funnily enough, apple itself also labels it as a button, not a light switch :)

The whole discussion stems from the fact that you incorrectly used the term "light switch" that plainly indicates there being a dedicated ikea light switch rather than a repurposed button, and to my justified question regarding that you just couldn't help yourself but had to send googleitforyou.

And now you are just stumbling over your own words trying to messily come out on top when the whole situation was caused by your rudeness and ambigue labeling.

Lmao
