Who should buy which
Anyone who wants a red-by-default bathroom or bedside bulb at $30 and is happy to flip a switch instead of opening an app.
You need a dimmable bulb, a published lumen figure, or a fixture that stays on day mode after any power interruption, because The Bulb restarts on red every time.
Someone who wants preset Daylight, Sunset and Campfire settings in the E26 lamps and fixtures they already own, changed from the wall switch with no app or hub, and who can buy without a published color temperature for each setting.
You want Kelvin figures before you buy, you need a wet-location rating or 3-way lamp support, and Healthy Home publishes neither, or your fixtures take an E27 base, which Healthy Home sells as a separate product.
