First post so go easy.
After seeing the earlier post for $22.71 per light from a Chinese warehouse I had concerns about shipping and warranty.
I had a chat to the cheapest local store I could find and the rep provided me with a code to reduce the price from $36 to $30 per bulb with free shipping when 2 or more bulbs are ordered.
The advantages you gain for the $7.29 difference are:
Shipping from a local warehouse, 1 year warranty, local service, a returns policy

Customer service rep is still active as of 8:28 PM so ask them a question.
Here is the important part of the transcript of my conversation with them:
About 10 minutes after negotiating an extra juicy deal
ME: Hi again, I found your website because I was looking for an alternative to a store posted on oz bargain. Is it okay if I let other ozbargainers know in the comments about the price you quoted?
ME: I wont mention the store or price actually I feel like that would create an expectation that you wouldn't want. I'll just wait and post the sale if you have one. Have a great day : )
REP: Hi. You can share the code Yeelight which makes them $30 each if you want. This beats the gearbest price, and you get free shipping for two or more.
Great deal, and great work doing the e-legwork for us!
