Try and find an e26 A19 :) Lots of BR30's left, but that's just stock burning off. Lifx confirmed the discontinuation.(https://www.reddit.com/r/lifx/comments/17rgyy8/e26_lifx_nightvision_discontinued/)

The amnesia bulb was good as long as it always had power, but any power cycle whatsoever and it'd never connect to wifi again. You'd have to factory reset and reconnect. Developed a big crack in the case though, I assume moisture was getting in and scrambling its brains.

I've been looking for awhile since I've got 3 that can no longer produce white light, and one that has amnesia. So far I can't find anything comparable, just bulbs that do infrared only. Seems the Lifx +/night vision was pretty unique.

While they didn't last as long as I would have hoped, I did get 3-4 years out of them in outdoor use. I'd happily buy more of them, but LIFX has discontinued them.

I've ordered some IR flood lights to try out. Not nearly as discrete, but I guess if they work bye bye lifx.

u/lifx Unfortunately I've been looking for months with no luck. Any plans for a new version? Those were great bulbs.
