What say it needs to be in the socket? A battery or a capacitor is all you need to make sure it can still a bit outside its sockets (you don't need much to clear the memory either).
It could be a physical button too, no need for a pin.
- Aloha 7y agoThe last thing I want to do is have to change the battery in my light bulbs.
- dwild 7y agoA rechargeable battery can easily live just as long as the LEDs inside it. I would still use a capacitor personally, but I said batteries because they could certainly work and Ikea does have a battery-powered light bulb with a button on it [1].

- ramses0 7y agoYou have a lot of faith in rechargeable battery durability.
- dwild 7y agoNo need of faith, there are so many products that proved that you can trust rechargeable batteries. I'm considering buying a Volt right now and seems like that even the 2012 models are still keeping their ranges. I wish I could say that about many of my LEDS lightbulbs that are rated for tens of thousands of hours. I have much less faith in any lightbulbs ;).
