Osram's Lightify smart bulbs blow a security fuse – isn't anything code audited anymore?

This is not something that has obvious advantages until you try it. My friend loaned me a couple Phillips Hue bulbs and and aside from using a lot less power than dimmer switches, they are the best alarm clock I've ever owned.

I have them set to fade in the lights with an artificial sunrise (I get up about an hour before sunrise in the winter) and it is a lot less jarring than an audio alarm.
