I tried to go to the Phillips website then I went into the eye comfort section and clicked on shop all eye, comfort bulbs, and it saysI’m sorry there’s nothing available which I know is BS. The website is broken.

And I don’t even care if it’s Phillips or a different brand I need something that runs in the 3000 K range. I’d love 3500 but I don’t think I can get that. With flicker free ( and I have just spent the last 4 1/2 hours looking Online and I can’t come up with anything so does anybody have any ideas of what I can buy and please offer a link to a product.

I am now currently using the last of my incandescent bulbs. If one of them burns out I am out of luck my room will be dark.

Normal lightbulb. A19 type

Or am I just searching for something that literally doesn’t exist?

    This is all besides the point. This is not a website. This is a product, that runs in your home, that was sold for years on the agreement that they would not be able to harvest this data (simply because I could run them without connecting to the internet). Now I still have that option of course, but I will eventually trade product updates to do so. It is a given, philips has said as much

    Also the data would likely include things like your wifi SSID and password (hopefully encrypted).

    It’s cool that you don’t care about your autonomy and privacy but the bottom line is companies like philips shouldn’t get to unilaterally get to make decisions that alter the tos over a decade later because people like you are apathetic. Some people have literal thousands invested into this ecosystem and many have hundreds, easily. Your apathy and people like you enables companies like philips to bully consumers and make consumer hostile decisions

      that was sold for years on the agreement that they would not be able to harvest this data (simply because I could run them without connecting to the internet). Now I still have that option of course, but I will eventually trade product updates to do so

      So you’re saying “I’m eventually going to value updates to these products more than my privacy and my data, despite me having the option of not doing that, keeping my data, and still having the same functionality in the lamps they had when I purchased them”?

      I don’t know what your problem seems to be.

      It’s cool that you don’t care about your autonomy and privacy

      Autonomy. Yes. My autonomy is deprived from me because some random sweaty bro is crying online that companies are companies.

      So you’re gonna trade your autonomy and privacy for some pathetic updates on your lamps? It seems like you don’t care about your privacy. Where do you live again? If not in the GDPR area your data is traded in thousands of places where mine isn’t.

      I do care about mine, but I’m not such a moron that I think that caring about it makes any difference on a personal level. I care about it because of the societal implications it has, not because I’m a paranoid incel who’s afraid of some random company having checks notes info on how many lamps of theirs I have at home.

      I have a wifi specifically for guests and shit devices that might need it. It doesn’t really matter who has access to it.

      Again, what is it that I’m supposed to be so afraid of? No-one can blackmail me on anything, I have no digital assets (even money) to steal.

      I’m politically on the correct side of this issue because I understand the consequences in the bigger picture. I don’t know if you even see a bigger picture, it just sounds like you have have paranoid delusions of being persecuted.

      Have you thought about seeing a mental health care professional to get checked out?
