I have every single light bulb in my house (and outside my house) as an LED RGB Alexa-addressible light, and I love it.

"Set all the lights to red" and every single bulb in my house and porch and walkway and garage etc, all turn red.

"Turn on/off all the light"

Set kitchen to firebrick...

Etc.

I LOVE IT.

During the day I rarely have any lights on at all - but at night I have precise control over every bulb in my house with alexa voice.

I initially would never have put alexa in my home, but now that I have it and all bulbs on it, as well as several alexa-fied power outlets, its just a very nice thing to have.

Im not too concerned over "lighting quality" - as I get exactly what I want.

The bulbs I bought were from Costco, where they had them on sale for $5 for a (2) pack. so I replaced all CFLs with RGB Wifi LEDs with alexa, and it was ~$70 to do the whole house (27) bulbs.

EDIT: Dimmability "Alexa Set Kitchen to 10%" --> I can dim or brighten all the lights at once "Alexa set house to 100%" etc...
