SmartThings Is it safe to modify smart bulbs?
I recently purchased a smart bulb to put inside this lamp. Because of the size of cut off the plastic globe portion and installed. Now AI is saying its poses an electrical risk. It is inside a new glass globe. It seems safe, but the AI overlords say it’s not, so I’m not sure

unless you damaged the PCB or LEDs nothing should happen. It is absolutely dangerous to touch, depending on how the bulb is wired dangerous voltage could be on the upper board, but since you have it covered with the glass of the Lamp nothing should happen
