Posted this as a comment on the video itself but thought I would copy it over here too as a slight counter point to what is said in the video
 
One thing I feel they failed to mention in this video is actual lifespan of the bulbs in general. According to the Aliexpress page for the Yeelight bulbs they are rated as lasting 9,000 hours, Philips Hue bulbs are rated as lasting 25,000 hours (according to Philips, and only their second generation onward, first gen is 15,000) which is 2.8 times longer than the Yeelight, and the LifX bulbs are rated at 40,000 hours (according to LifX) which is 4.4 times longer than Yeelight.
 
Taking that into consideration with both Hue and LifX builbs costing only around 2.2-2.3 times more than the Yeelight (based on UK amazon prices right now) that is actually showing them at a similar value overall with Hue being a little cheaper across its full lifespan and LifX being much cheaper across its full lifespan. If you are living in a house where you plan to stay for 5+ years that is definitely something to consider and even if not you can always take the bulbs with you when you go and replace them with cheap LEDs if you want to be nice to new tenants/buyers.
 
Of course that mainly hinges on the fact that Philips Hue and LifX are being both honest and accurate in their rating of the lifespan (and Yeelight for that matter) of the bulb but still for that increased lifepan and increased app functionality and integration with other home kit the Hue and LifX bulbs don't look so bad.
 
On top of that while I am not too sure on how the WiFi enabled bulbs work if all of them independently connect to your router and poll it then having another 40 clients (in the case of Linus' estimate for his house) polling your router instead of one hub is the hub not a better idea long term. If anyone does know what kind of network connection and router spam that quantity of bulbs would cause let me know I am curious
