I have a few Hues and they are great, and last much longer. But in this house I cannot justify even that. In my kitchen/breakfast nook alone I have 10 lightbulbs plus an overhead flushmount.

Keep in mind: all LEDs leak blue light even the warm ones (color is achieved by average so you can have high red and high blue and it looks balanced visually). These bright blue leaking LEDs are great during the day — especially those with high CRI and R9 values. But not at night when you’re trying to go to bed! Switch to incandescent only in the evenings until they figure out blue-less dimmable LEDs

Not all, only white LEDs. You can use any cheap LED RGB strip without white components and set it to yellow/orange light with blue completely off. It has poor CRI though.

Obviously it has bad CRI because that requires a blue component :)

But for going to sleep it's not a bad idea.

Not only that. It also completely skips amber part of spectrum, making human skin look bit weird.

incandescent bulbs used to cost like $0.60 each

Ain’t nobody gonna get rich selling bulbs for $.60 that aren’t even filled with mercury and rare earths.

Makes me think of this
