I mean there’s gotta be some reasonable price limit where you stop blaming the consumer. If each supposedly higher-quality LED bulb is $50,000 are you still blaming the consumer? Especially when the consumer has can’t realistically even know if they’re going to get a higher quality bulb or just a $5 bulb resold for $50,000.

It’s only a few $ more.
And it says on the box.
I usually stick to the same brand too. All Phillips bulbs are 90+ CRI and some are 95+ so I just buy Phillips. Problem solved.

"A few dollars" is a bad way to describe the difference between $2 and $25.
I consider $3.75 for a Phillips 95+ CRI bulb a few dollars more.
A Home Depot bulb is like $2.75.
I hate that you have to research bulbs but you’re making it out way harder than it is.

But those $3-4 bulbs aren't the ones people were talking about.
Unless you claim they are the same tier as the waveform bulbs?
They’re really good and far better than most bulbs.
Waveforms are even better but it’s like springing for the luxury item.
But unless you’re someone that could readily tell, it’s not with the price difference.
I have a few Hue Iris that I love for mood lightning, surprisingly the CRI is supposedly very bad according to https://www.archyde.com/philips-hue-iris-test-a-designer-and...
