I use these: https://www.cbyge.com

I picked them up at Target on a super sale. Honestly, all the functionality sucks, but since the only thing I do is set it to 1850K and lowest dim level and then leave it, it doesn't matter that everything else sucks about it.

I also picked up so no name LED multicolor night lights at Costco, but one of the "colors" is a yellow that's really close to 1850K.

Do you think the phillips hue bulbs which go down to 2000 K would be about as effective, or would that rxtra 150 make the difference?

The Hue seem much better reviewed in terms of their controls.

The 2000K is as far as you can set them using the color temperature format, but they can be set to other colors with the xy or hs format.

I often set mine to an almost orange color in the evening.
