All over the land, the lava lamps slowly go out, as their bulbs wear out and have no replacements. Weep, weep for the lava lamps.

... is this where someone jumps in and tells me all about how there's some sort of exception for specialty bulbs?

Yes, I think dimmers in the home is a great way to conserve energy while also creating an environment that promotes mental health.

And yes, I did de facto personally endorse a brand of "smart" dimmers that cheaply integrate into almost all homes, is widely available and is widely respected by both consumers and professionals.

Sick burn, over, cheap Home Depot dimmers, I guess.

Yes. But instead of every twenty years it's once a year, and the annual banning of the incandescent bulb is now a federal holiday.

It's like one of the most expensive smart lighting systems you can purchase through via big box home stores.

But of course you know this, or else you wouldn't have mentioned it.

gently caress anything but LED bulbs with adjustable color temperature.

I have some GE Cync lights that are okay, but the app is a pain and I hate anything remotely IoT.

What I've grown fond of are the Home Depot Ecosmart bulbs. The ones I get have a slider switch on the side so you can manually adjust the color temperature, and they have automatic dimming bulbs that work off a normal lightswitch. The light sensor ones are good for dusk-to-dawn use, and while they're a little sensitive the ones with built-in motion sensors are good, too.

Its probably worse than youre even imagining, they put eight (8) holes in the ceiling so they could screw in black cable clip things. It was this but with tons of holes in the ceiling so they could spread the super long cables out.

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I put in those flat LED recessed pseudo-can lights when I remodeled, and they're excellent, five color temperatures, really nice diffuse light, and loving incredibly easy to install compared to OG recessed lights.

I just bought the cheapo dimmers because those giant smart bullshits suck rear end.

Filament bulbs suck other than if you need something that generate a lot of excess heat.

Now carbon-arc lamps, that's the future.
