[chbot] LED lighting

[Darran Lee]

If anyone is interested in the wifi led bulbs I spoke about from Jaycar, 
they are special at the moment. They are either bayonet or edison screw, 
single or a 3 pack.

The white is very good but the colours are a little weak, I'm happy with 
them because I only want white light, they are dim-able and can be set 
to warm or cool white.

The app is SmartLife which 'works with' Google and Alexa. Yes, its a 
Chinese app...yes its on the internet... yes, its probably a security 
risk..yes...yes...yes....

I haven't pulled one apart yet to see whats inside.....
