Finally upgraded my living room lights—anyone else tried smart bulbs?

"Smart bulbs ended up being our saving grace, too."

Totally relate—smart bulbs saved me from a wiring nightmare in my old apartment. Quick tip: bulbs labeled "flicker-free" or specifically marked for dimming usually handle older fixtures better... learned that the hard way after some trial and error.

I was skeptical at first—figured smart bulbs were mostly hype—but after moving into a custom build, I realized how much easier they made things. Didn't have to stress over wiring switches exactly where I wanted them. Good tip on the flicker-free bulbs, though. Hadn't thought about that, and I've noticed some weird flickering in my kitchen lights lately... might be worth checking out.
