I keep seeing articles about non-connected LED bulbs that get warm the more they dim, but cannot seem to find any. I have a few flashlights that do this and would love it - 5000k at 100% and 2700k by 10%. Does anyone make this?
Or am I going to have to go with the Philips Hue Warm to Cool smart bulb? If I do this, can I do it all via Zigbee or will I need to get a bridge? Is there any tools that will allow me to do this brightness/temperature ramp or will have to set modes? Suggestions on that? If am going to integrate these in, do you recommend just hardwiring ceiling fixtures behind the switch and setting up smart switches the control the dimming/temperature via hubitat? Suggestions?
Philips "Warm Glow" dumb bulbs are the closest thing I can think of, but I don't think they start at very high cool temps. Might be worth looking in to though.
If you go the Hue route, Hue's latest bulbs that are available now are all zigbee 3.0, so they can be paired direct to HE with no issues (unlike the early-generation Hue bulbs).
ETA - if you go smart bulbs, Zooz and Inovelli smart switches (may be others too, I dunno) have a "smart bulb mode" so that you don't have to hard-wire the fixture -- works great.
Philips’ warm-glow bulbs do that pretty well. I don’t use them currently but have in the recent past and I was happy with their color temperature at very low dim levels.
I just installed my first two bulbs in a set of lamps as a trial. So cool. I am using them as normal but have webcore take any level change and set the temp to be 23*level+2300. As I add lights or groups, I just have to add it to the piston. Time to order some more and some switches.
