Do you need further equipment to use this? I recently bought a Xiaomi Yeelight bulb as it's considerably cheaper, and there's a smartphone app to control it.
I believe that the idle power draw from those bridgeless types can be quite a bit higher, so you may not be saving as much as you think with the led bulb.

yes, but only like an ordinary bulb.
For the WiFi and colour change ability you need the 'Bridge' hardware, about £20-30 2nd hand off eBay.
WARNING: These are very addictive and once you start you will just buy more and more :smile:

Those Chinese converters are a fire waiting to happen, I'd be damned if I'd take the risk. Read some reviews, they overheat. Plus with the bulb having to be on at all times it's too much of a gamble. The better option would be to hold out, there's bound to be a sale on E27 bulbs this week.

Great price. I'm now in danger of having more bulbs than light fittings...

It's not cheap on its own I'm afraid.
Although sometimes there are deals to be had. I got this kit from Currys for £75 a while ago.
