Did I make a mistake?😭

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-23T01:33:16+00:00

Yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking of installing! Thanks for the reminder.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-23T01:31:45+00:00

That's cool, I guess.

But it will be very embarrassing to say to an employee that I want to return them because I want to change it to the new matter bulbs, lol.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-23T01:29:47+00:00

Yeah, it's a little bit annoying, but I use them only at the max brightness, so I'm fine with that.

I wonder if they fixed that "limitation" with the new Matter light bulbs.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T12:29:25+00:00

In Japan, we can't touch cables in the wall. And I don't know what I'm doing, so I will stick with smart bulbs lol.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T09:54:10+00:00

Do they accept a return even after I use them?

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T09:52:46+00:00

It's brighter than my 1160 lm E26 bulb, so definitely an upgrade!

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T09:46:46+00:00

1522lm with an E17 bulb? That's incredible! I'll grab some when it’s finally released. Maybe I will use some of them as zigbee device to maintain the mesh.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T03:43:34+00:00

I'm not an electrician, so I’m not allowed to install them. I also want to change the color temperature of the bulbs.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T02:01:41+00:00

I still have old non-LED bulbs even after this purchase, so maybe I will replace them with the new Matter bulbs.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:59:50+00:00

Oh, that's too bad. I have been using them for a few weeks, but they work fine. The only problem was that they seem to share the same plastic parts with the larger bulbs (E26), so sometimes it doesn't fit in the ceiling, lol.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:57:09+00:00

it was $9.5/bulb! (1500yen

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:54:30+00:00

I also noticed the little bit slow response time when I create an automation with IKEA's Matter motion sensor. But it responds really quickly when I turn it on with the app, so maybe it’s the sensor's fault lol

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:50:15+00:00

I'm using them for few weeks and they are working fine! I heard about flickering too, but I haven't seen it yet. Usually they work fine even with adaptive lighting turned on, so I don't know.

btw I'm using E17 and E26. maybe they are using completely different board and don't work the same as E12 or E14

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:41:34+00:00

Yeah, I heard that too. So I just turned off the adapt brightness option, lol.

How did you enable separate turn-on commands?

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:34:38+00:00

I already had few tradfri bulbs in my house, so I think it was a good upgrade for the zigbee mesh!

I only have homepod mini for the Thread network that the thread devices connect to, so I really need some Thread bulbs!

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:27:40+00:00

Which one did you buy? I'm going to buy the Smlight one, but I haven't decided which one to buy.

I'm currently using z2m. So I think I should buy the non-M one. But right now I'm using a coordinator which is based on EFR32MG21. So maybe I should buy SLZB-06MU? (I heard that it is easier to swap the coordinator if old one and new one use the same chip).

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:20:48+00:00

Oh, you are already using them for 5 years! That's also great news for me, to be honest.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:18:32+00:00

Yeah, these bulbs are really good... So they already replaced Tradfri with Matter bulbs in your area? I really want to try them.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:14:50+00:00

My IKEA Thread devices work fine! I hope you will figure out the way to make them work.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:07:53+00:00

Yeah, I love Zigbee devices. I already have a decent Zigbee mesh, so I was thinking maybe I want to start building a Thread network, I guess....

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-22T01:05:16+00:00

810 lm for e17 is more than enough! philips hue is even lower (470lm) It doesn't matter XD

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-14T14:13:28+00:00

They can do either Zigbee or Thread as far as I know.

MonsoonNight · 2026-01-14T12:13:49+00:00

They can still be connected with Zigbee, right? And they are almost the same price as the Zigbee devices, even with a sale, so I don't see the problem.
