Can I ask where you see this as unnecessary? While I can understand some students may not want or need some of these but overall it’s an effective way to prioritize health, development and overall wellbeing.
Also saves so much money.
I’ve been studying psychology, psychiatry, developmental for a long time.
Unless your tap water has dangerous chemicals in it you’ll save money just drinking that. It may taste different because you’re used to a different balance, but drinking it for a week or so will lead to you getting used to it and saving money.
Dimmable white led bulbs are at least half the cost of addressable RGB bulbs. I’m not sure the “10% of light output means it uses 10% of the nominal wattage” idea holds true as some of that energy is going into running a microprocessor and wireless bridge. Using a traditional dimmer switch with white LEDs will actually use less power over time.
You’ve listed luxuries. You may want filtered water and a party mode on tap, but being luxuries they are definitionally unnecessary.
Ahhh ok so let me paint a picture for you. They make a significant difference in quality of life for those who do need them. You are a senior student who inside normal buildings has to wear light protective glasses to be shielded from being in excoriating pain. Though you go home and have RGB strips. Then you keep those on 10-1% power mostly always on red. Allowing for the perfect calming light. That also promotes healthy and painless eyes. Then also benefits sleeping and just an overall sense of wellbeing.
You’re conflating your personal experience as being generally common. You may have benefit from these, but they are not a back to school necessity or even consideration for “every parent.” For the vast majority of people these are unnecessary.
While yes not everyone has these. What it’s important to consider is if a kid has these issues and even if they don’t it may be best to give them the technology incase they ever had eye problems or otherwise. Ive started learning the best way to enhance development and comfort. I guess in my experience I like being cautious and covering every aspect of an issue.
If you can then possibly show that better light for others? Also yeah no assuming it’s for “party mode” but that only shows how inconsiderate you are and may be. It has nothing to do with any party mode or even the amount of colours that one that one has. It’s the helping with sensitive eyes.
You literally linked a music sync RGB bulb. Do you really expect your college student you’re sending away to not use the party mode? They aren’t just gonna sit in their room with a 10% power red light. Well maybe your kid will, but that isn’t an “every college student” kinda thing. Not everyone has sensitive eyes and for most people these are luxuries.
All these options are about half as much and still dimmable.
So looking at what you sent only the middle light bulb is actually any more efficient the other two are ether equal or more expensive in electric bill.
Though thank you for adding these. While in my personal case RGB overweights the one that would be a tad cheaper. For others it may be a definite option for those without as serious as eye problems. As I do.
On a dimmer set to 10% all of these bulbs will be more efficient than the RGB ones you linked because they will not have to run a computer and WiFi/BT hotspot in perpetuity. They will simply be on for 10% of the time. You could also probably get some red tinted films to place over the light fixtures.
Like the lighting choice reducing headaches, migraines, eye strain and also helps with sleep. Also can make day to day task easier have the perfect level of light for their eyes.

This is how I live.

You’d save about 1.25-1.75
