Yes, I just got 4 of the screw in type and some (shockingly poor quality)
c=
onverters - unfortunately this adds such a huge amount of depth to the
bulb=
, they dangle below most of my lamp shades!

Will have to try and source some B22 bulbs - but no kits available yet :(

Currently, even with the reverted firmware it appears that you can't
contro=
l non Philips bulbs through HomeKit using the hub.

If you find any golf ball ones that work well Phil let us know.

Why don't they do the bundle products with B22 bayonet fittings - annoying.
