I was surprised to find that all(?) A19 smart bulbs are 60 watt equivalents (~800 lumens). I need something significantly higher, 75 W.E. or ideally 100 W.E. A19 means a “regular bulb shape”, not a floodlight or can light. It doesn’t actually have to be exactly A19 shape (few LED bulbs of over 1K l…

The brightest smart bulbs I know are the LIFX. The white only bulbs are rated at 890 lm, a 75 W equivalent, and happen to be on sale right now at Best Buy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lifx-adjustable-white-a19-wi-fi-smart-led-light-bulb-75w-equivalent-adjustable-white/9634099.p The color bulbs go…

Is there a specific reason you want a dimmable bulb instead of a dimmer switch or dimming outlet? There are multiple dimming switches and outlets that work with SmartThings and could dim a standard dimmable LED bulb.

Thanks as always JDR, you are great. You’re right - I don’t actually need the A19 form factor per se. Just something that will fit an E26 socket and not be so super huge or awkward it can’t fit in a medium-size pendant light shade. 890 lumens is a start. Maybe I will have to go with the LIFX Color …

Since this seems to be true for pretty much all smart bulbs regardless of the protocol, my guess is that it’s heat distribution. You don’t want to overheat the radio. The LIFX bulbs are definitely hotter than the others. And bigger. The bigger gives them a way to get rid of some of the heat before …

Overheat the radio? I didn’t think about that. Hmm. Whatever it is, I am ready for them to address it. :slight_smile: Dunsantos, that’s the bulb I asked about in OP and here , that I can’t get to work with SmartThings. Did you get it to work with SmartThings alone (without the LE hub)? If so, pleas…

Sorry, didn’t see that you mentioned in your first post. I had the bulb prior to SmartThings so I never had the chance to try it out. It doesn’t look like they publish their API and the Amazon review that you linked to, the guy is FOS. Too bad some of the better lighting products out there have p…

Any updated advice for A19 or similar bulbs that are brighter than 60 W.E.? I have a SmartThings hub.

[image] JDRoberts: LIFX are still the brightest. And they are definitely bright. I don’t think I have ever turned them all on at 100% with white because they are too damn bright, lol. In color mode they are fine at 100%. @TerenceC [image] TerenceC: Any updated advice for A19 or similar …
