I hate using The Big Light™, but I can’t always have my room dark. My led strip that is up in the corner of the ceiling just died, so I’m looking for replacements. I’m not opposed to another one, I’m just curious what all else there is. thanks

edit: I might actually just replace my big light bulbs with hue bulbs or something (though those are mad expensive)

    I mostly use custom built RGB lamps running WLED which are controlled by Home Assistant and the Adaptive Lighting integration which adjusts the brightness throughout the day based on the position of the sun. I do have a couple Govee lights that are controlled in the same manor as well.

      Same here, but didn’t know about that integration, have home assistant rules controlling the lights based on sun status, bedtime for the kids and presence. Also a few lamps with hue bulbs. Expensive as hell, but offer the most stable zigbee network.

        I find IKEA’s ZigBee bulbs to be rock solid as well and they’re significantly cheaper. And another +1 for Home Assistant with Adaptive Lighting here.

          The problem I have with the Trådfri from IKEA is that they can’t do Cyan, it looks just white. I have 2 of them for places that I don’t use cyan.

        Adaptive Lighting is pretty nice. You can set it to adjust the brightness and/or light temperature throughout the day and even setup a “nightlight” setting for overnight.
