PSA from a 4yo if you drop and break a hue color bulb don't throw it away

i dropped one and it busted the entire bulb casing. looked something like this:



disgusted i tossed it in the trash and my 4yo asked why i didn't just put it in a light that already has a cover like this one:



sure enough, took it out and removed the rest of the broken glass and the damn thing works even better because the LEDs dont have to permeate both the lightbulb frosted globe and the light fixture. works perfect.

summary almost tossed a 'broken' $50 color lightbulb and found it actually works just as good broken thanks to my 4yo.
