Anyone use any of these lightbulb wireless cameras?

Looking on Amazon and wondered if any of you nerds have any experience with any of them. Since wireless kind of takes the first step toward easier installation the only remaining install obstacle was the power source. I figured I could replace the exterior sconce bulbs with something like these products. Apparently they also make complete sconce replacement solutions as well.

The only real benefit of those bulb replacement cameras is if you already have a fixture at a high enough elevation that it makes sense. It's not that hard to swap out a sconce style fixture for a "normal" floodlight type fixture, but generally the elevation of those sconce lights isn't high enough to give you a meaningful view (plus it makes them super easy targets to just steal or break).

It's really not that hard to run a single ethernet cable to a POE camera and that is really the only type of camera I'd use for actual security.

I can see using one of these bulbs in a regular lantern though, sure giving up some video clarity but gaining obscurity.
