yeah i dont understand how anyone can use 5000k in their house. even when i was a renter and the suite had like 30 pot lights i changed them all on my dollar right when i moved in. need that 2600 or 3000k warmth
when i look up at a condo tower at night and see some of the units with those cold science lab lights i cant help but to judge

The people who complain about buzzing probably had them on dimmers.
Cheap LED's are garbage when it comes to dimming (Even when they say "dimmable")

I just changed out my entire house to the Lutron Caseta Smart-Dimmer system.

I had a bunch of these cheap Luminus brand bulbs from costco:

https://www.costco.ca/luminus-led-13...000227961.html

They were fine on the old toggle switches, but after putting in the dimmers they buzzed like crazy.

I had to change them out for quality Philips and GE bulbs, no more buzzing. Get what you pay for I guess.

lutron have pretty decent/user friendly lighting control options that are retrofit friendly and budget friendly. mind you it's been years since i had to deal with that stuff.

i recall caseta i think, good for retrofit, wireless etc

Here is another cake that is pretty good. Only bought it because they were giving out samples or else I don't typically buy things from the bakery area (except one time for that scoop tiramisu cake).

I returned my 5 year old Igloo cooler today before it could chop any of my moneymaking fingers off.

Then I spent $230.36 on food and handed over my $230 cash back voucher.

That sounds right up your alley Hobz. Buy something, return it, then go re-buy it at the liquidation store for cheaper as an open box.

Idk if this belongs more in here or the F1 thread, but Costco currently has the LEGO Speed Champions sets of a bunch of the F1 teams for $28. They're $35 on lego.com

They only have the main teams... so McLaren, Merc, Ferrari, Red Bull... if you want the other teams like Aston or Sauber you gotta get it from Lego or Walmart

Missed opportunity to make the Ferrari driver figure helmet yellow... or a black figure lol

so you got brand name bulbs and lutron dimmers?

I got pot lights that buzz/flicker on FEIT (costco) dimmer switches. I want to bite the bullet and go all on lutron like you. I got 8 dimmer switches at $70/pop - aint cheap.
