I’m kind of waiting for the “dust to settle” around protocols for controlling IoT devices. I’ll likely opt for an open-source event-bridge Raspberry Pi solution on an isolated v-lan, but in the short-term I kind of just want some lights to use at night. Like normal ceiling lights during the day, and a few lamps with “warm light” for night use.
Two items I’m thinking about getting are:
(1) Red LED rope lights (like this one for example DINGFU LED Rope Lights) and
(2) “Sleep” LED light bulbs (like this one for example hooga Sleep Light Bulb)
But I’m struggling to figure out if these options are using “blue” LEDs with a coating, or if it’s an actual “red” LED.
The hooga for example claims:
1600K Color Temperature is lowest amongst all competing LED light bulbs and therefore emits only 0.06% of light from the blue light part of the spectrum
but then in the technical part it lists the light as “Amber, Blue”. Does that imply there are two LEDs inside: a blue one and a red one, to produce the amber color? If they certify a color temperature, is that enough? Or should I avoid anything that contains a blue LED inside?
