Speaking of LED color temperature, I was in costco not long ago getting frustrated that I couldn't find the temperature that I wanted. Furthermore, they only had one type of bulb in the lumens I wanted and it didn't have the temperature printed at all!!
Grumble... Then I realized those bulbs had a switch where you could select the temperature on the bulb itself. Now I love being able to have only one bulb that I can use in many difference scenarios!

There are even ones with WiFi and an app to change color & other settings, but I didn't need that much control, and flicking the switch is easier than pulling up an app. I agree that current LED lights are way better than the old CFLs and early LEDs. They may not all last 25 years as advertised, but they're far longer-lasting and energy efficient than incandescents. |

I control most things from my phone these days... including the lighting.
Works well.

Well Ken, I for one am glad you ran out of lights before your lights went out!
My daughter is a real techie so we’ve skipped right on up to smart lights in our kitchen. If you don’t like the brightness in the kitchen just tell Alexa and she’ll adjust the intensity. Don’t like the color of light, same thing just tell Alexa and bingo bright white, sunlight, soft yellow, blue, red even pink lights all at a voice command. So guess what I tell Alexa before I break into Roxanne.

Maybe he reads with sunglasses on. We still have a bunch of Philips 60 watt incandescent bulbs we bought about 15 years ago when CFLs were becoming all the rage.

He can run his AZ house from his phone when he is at his other house in Nebraska. He can unlock the front door, turn on lights, and adjust the thermostat from 1,334 miles away. It is amazing. And then there's me, I can't even figure out which light bulb to buy....

Honestly, no... I don't mind talking out loud when alone but apart from the cats I wouldn't want anything to respond (and certainly not have some rich guy's minions listening in).
Now the glowglobes in Herbert's Dune universe, those would be amazing to have.
