Hi all, I'm new here, first post :)
With a smart bulb, does running at 25% brightness reduce the energy consumption to a 1/4, or do things not work like that?

If anyone has any thoughts please let me know.
Thanks.

@HmmmUK

definitely. It's just like the brightness on our phones, lower brightness extends the battery life.

@TTTusp Thanks. Do you or anyone have any stats showing how dimmed bulbs use less energy and if 25% brightness = 25% energy etc.?

Actually no. I would prefer to wait and see others' work as it is kind of time-consuming, lol.
