Best Zigbee lightbulbs? (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

I’ve been having some trouble getting some decent lightbulbs. Which brand do you guys recommend? I’ve bought some Livarno (Lidl) ones, not full RGB, but when I choose a warmer color they become a little red/pink.

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll check out Ikea or Philips if I can find a good deal on them.

Edit 2, 25 days later: Bought the Tradfri 1055 lumen lightbulbs, setup was easy, and the Zigbee range of these lightbulbs is far better than the Livarno ones. Adding them to zigbe2mqtt was easy: enable permit join and reset the lightbulbs by flipping the switch 6 times.

Glad I’m not the only one that thinks Philips bulbs are too bright. They’re my only smart bulbs though so I didn’t have anything to compare it to. My solution has been to change the colour to red when I dim them. They’re dimmer that way
