High flickerAmazon Basics 11aSB-A800ST-Q1-WGN A19 full color smart bulb
The verdict
A full color A19 bulb. Its white light is good (CRI 86, Rf 86), it dims down to 29 lm, its warmest white is 2225K, and flicker risk is high.
The flicker is the problem. At full brightness it measured 84% percent flicker. I would keep it out of reading lamps, desks and rooms where anyone is flicker sensitive.
