Looking for something with warm hues (should be available with any rgb right?) and a long lifetime. I dont want to ever replace light fixtures again. Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    How are they holding up? Ive heard that the bulb based solutions degrade over time due to heat dissipation issues. Strip lighting is more attractive to me because i can replace a single LED if it goes bad, as opposed to throwing away a whole bulbs worth plus the power supply, SoC and wifi

      I picked them up like 3 years ago and not a single one has failed l. The real issue is that the app isn't great and it can be finicky trying to get a bulb on your network. The app also has telephony and it their servers are down they don't work.

      I actually want them to fail so I can eventually replace them with regular ones. Trying to do home automation is starting to be more of a hassle than I care about. I can still see the appeal of it though.
