Any bulb I've bought in deals lasts a very short time compared to osram or Philips ones. You'd pick up Philips ones on Amazon the odd time on offer

You can often get multicolour smart bulbs from Amazon from a more reputable manufacturer for a similar price or sometimes less.

This one for example works out at ~£8.80.

I don't disagree with either of your comments. Lights, a Dublin Trade and Public Outlet sell them at 16.90 and spec them at Average lifetime (in h) 25000.

Anyway I have posted it and people can make up their own minds now that they know about it.

I have one of them for 3 or 4 months and it works great. I love the fact that the colour temperature and intensity is adjustable - makes it perfect for reading at night.

Their smart plugs are good quality as well.

BTW - there is a dedicated Dealz thread

I got the smart plugs a few months ago, no problems at all with them, app is good and it integrates with Alexa very well too.
