The JavaScript code linked suggests that it indeed uses 19 levels of brightness and 256 levels of (rotated) hue. [1] [1] https://github.com/mwittig/node-milight-promise/blob/c52d3e4...

If you are after some cheap 'ok' wireless bulbs take a look at MiLight / LimitlessLED (they have various brand names). You can pick up bulbs for under $15 and the bridge for about the same from AliExpress. They have the same issue as these in that white and RGB are seperate modes (so you can't control the saturation), but other than that they work fine and don't have any cloud "features". The protocol of the bridge / app has been reverse engineered, and there are various libraries on GitHub: https://github.com/mwittig/node-milight-promise
