gollark: that does limit the usefulness somewhat.

gollark: If you turn it off at the wall can you then use the fancy smart features to power them on?

gollark: I have very smart lightbulbs. They use an innovative system which actually brings idle power draw to near zero and allows easy intuitive control via a wall-mounted electrical current control device.

gollark: Pay extra for expensive lightbulbs which probably have DRM to stop you running your own stuff on their likely horribly insecure controllers!

gollark: Really? "Smart" lightbulbs?
