Just so you guys know, although I have a whole series on Homemaking, it is pretty much my self exploring reflections on the latest gadgets and novelty items in town. I have been extremely interested in coloured bulbs for the longest time. But...my house is not a smarthome. So a part of me always wondered if I could incorporate smartbulbs without a hub.
I did the plunge and tried out with Switchbot Colour bulbs. First of all, you need to know that bulbs have apparently different screw size. This is a E27. Robinsons sold it at $26 (cheapest in town) and I got another 10% off on top of the sales price for using the discount code "FORFUNK10"! Super dope!
Not the most IT savvy person, but I managed to install the app and sync my bulbs without even looking at any guides. You have option of managing both bulbs together, or controlling them separate. Zoom in and you can tell I am actually using different bulb colours. (Cos I like it). There is a huge variety of colours to play with. The kid and I have fun!
It is not entirely the most ground-breaking when it comes to home improvements but it gives the home "more colours" literally. Switching the lights on and off with your phone is definitely useful. The whole system taps on the app and wifi. We paid less than 50 bucks for this, which is really quite a steal :D
No regrets for sure! On a side note, Robinsons does have pretty good prices especially when you use the discount code "FORFUNK10" Not bias, cos even I use it myself.
