From what I have read, the gen-3 bulb has better colour saturation in the greens and yellows. Anyone selling them here?

If colours are important, the arilux wifi lamp off aliexpress has the brightest ones I have come across in the cheap lamps, not got any hues here to compare to, but its way better than the low output on red from the likes of the limitless ones etc. Really philips are shooting themselves in the foot with their prices and slowness at getting things here.

Can the Arilux bulbs be controlled by an Amazon Echo or Dot? Also is 8W the highest power available, and is there a bayonet fitting option.
Cheers,

No bayonet available, works straight away with alexa and google by linking to the app's account. Not got working with smart things yet and most people seem to just be reflashing the microcontroller in them to get them controlled by other things which I dont really want to be doing unless someone finds how to do it without opening them up.
Not seen more than that but I just put more lamps around the place.

You have to wonder why they are still so expensive, considering how much a non wifi philips B22, or E27 LED bulb has dropped in price.
