Reply to comment by katspike in Relative energy cost of light colours [OC] by katspike

These numbers apply to a specific, specialized light bulb from one manufacturer. The electricity consumption will be low for blue because the light bulb will be very dim overall if you set it to blue. That doesn't mean blue is the cheapest light to produce. Your picture is very misleading.

Thanks for the feedback. As I stated, the source is Philips Lighting/Signify - one of the biggest lighting manufacturers in the world. Their Hue range is hugely popular and many people will be using their lights to decorate their homes for Christmas. I pondered making the title: "Relative energy cost of Philips Hue", but I thought "light colours" was more search-friendly.

How different would the results be for other brands of colour-changing RGB bulbs?

The post should stand on its own, without the source comment. Nowhere in the title or the post is any indication that this is about colour-changing RGB bulbs, or one specific product.

I expect significant differences between products, but that's not even the main problem.
