But to me it\u2019s a serious standout with high max brightness, almost zero flicker, great CRI, a huge CCT range from 2056 K to 6490 K, and a two year warranty. As far as I can tell, the only downsides to the innr bulb are that it isn\u2019t rated for damp locations, it has slightly lower efficiency than others at 87.9 lm\/watt, and its $15 price tag put it in the middle of the pack for affordability.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/16-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/16-2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/16-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/16-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/16-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/16-2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field acf-content wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">More information:<\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1Xk7sTe29hs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/1Xk7sTe29hs<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f47521;color:#f47521\"\/>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-10341 products type-products status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry rec_category-smart-tunable-led-light-bulbs\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\">Linkind Matter Tunable Smart Bulb<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\" class=\"is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block has-medium-font-size\"><div class=\"value\">Best Matter (WiFi) Bulb<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group indent-me acf-content is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\" class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">MSRP:<\/div><div class=\"value\">$24.99<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\" class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">Common Price:<\/div><div class=\"value\">$19.99<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">Link: <\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48jWmZy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/48jWmZy<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-4daaf377\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"is-acf-field is-textarea-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"value\">The Linkind Matter over WiFi bulb is half the price of the innr and doesn\u2019t require a hub. Of the Matter bulbs I tested, it was one of the easiest to add to HomeKit and shared with Home Assistant almost instantly. The Linkind had even less flicker than the innr, not even registering on my flicker meter until it reached 1% brightness, and it had a higher cool white CRI, better efficiency, and it\u2019s rated for damp install locations. The only downsides of the Linkind are the fact that it can\u2019t go lower than 2682 K color temperature, the inability to change the power on behavior without the AiDot app, and the fact that Linkind doesn\u2019t list any warranty information on the box or on Amazon.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/17-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/17-2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/17-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/17-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/17-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/17-2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field acf-content wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">More information:<\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1Xk7sTe29hs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/1Xk7sTe29hs<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f47521;color:#f47521\"\/>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-10342 products type-products status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry rec_category-smart-tunable-led-light-bulbs\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\">Nanoleaf Essentials Smart LED Color-Changing Light Bulb<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\" class=\"is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block has-medium-font-size\"><div class=\"value\">Best Thread Bulb<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group indent-me acf-content is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\" class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">MSRP:<\/div><div class=\"value\">$29.99<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\" class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-text-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">Common Price:<\/div><div class=\"value\">$23.99<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">Link: <\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4en6dmm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/4en6dmm<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-4daaf377\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"is-acf-field is-textarea-field wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"value\">The Matter over Thread Nanoleaf bulb also performed extremely well on paper with very low flicker, high efficiency, great CCT range, and great CRI, but on my Thread network using AppleTV, it just didn\u2019t work.
