Is that bad? If you're turning AC into DC you're gonna have to rectify it somehow.

#4I wish there were a way, though maybe not at the hardware level, to get these bulbs to go dimmer. In many circumstances, especially at night when avoiding glare off windows, just enough light to prevent tripping over things post eye adjustment would be ideal. But the lowest setting is far brighter than that.

It might have been a reference to Electroboom [1]

I believe the parent was referring to the "full bridge rectifier" joke by a popular electronics content creator: https://electroboom.fandom.com/wiki/Full_Bridge_Rectifier.

I hve color Hue bulbs and they can get pretty low.

I set my Hue Color bulbs to 25% and pure red at around 1AM every weeknight. It's dark but I can still see enough not to ram my toes into the coffee table.

The different bulbs have different "minimums" I've noticed, but if you really want a nightlight setting you might want to get a dedicated bulb or light for it. The full color at "very low red" are quite low.
(Or like me, for my sins, have a single blue LED on a piece of hardware that lights the room bright enough to read by)

Can confirm, colour hues go really low, especially as you shift them into the red colour. I have that as a nightlight in the bathroom and bedroom on a motion trigger.
