I only got 3 table lamps that uses E27 bulbs
I am also using 10 E14 bulbs but unfortunately LIFX do not have E14 bulbs yet
The majority of my lights are using MR16 type LEDs - i got 62 MR16

Im waiting for E14 LIFX bulbs

If fixture easy to modify, convert the base from E14 to E27. The only use case for E14 off hand that I recall is tiny wall pendant lighting fixture and candelabras apart from those kitchen hood, oven, salt lamp and fridge bulbs. Try Megaman in BV 2 (Amazon lighting 3rd floor). They do have a variety of LED replacements unless you're looking at multi spectral mood inducing types.

can convert but the bulb will be too big for my little lamps
just as you indicated they are use mainly for small lamps and pendant chandeliers

doesnt matter, just a matter of time, they will have E14. Im not in a hurry to spend more money anyway biggrin.gif

Agree. Candelabra bulbs have come a long way....now dimmable and mood alterable.

Probably they already know this is common problem for their product.

Good for you la. thumbup.gif

My friend also have same experience. Different product. They send the wrong item. Complain. Send another correct wan. But ask him to keep that wrong wan. Not cheap also.

Bro S$402 is Rm1256 = no difference from LIFX and no need hub. I already got LIFX, I don't want too many apps to control different things

Good thing is Hue is Apple Home kit compatible

No longer have your number
