Best Zigbee lightbulbs? (self.homeassistant)

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.

In my experience there's nothing above Hue. Philips makes the best led bulbs out there.

I've had decent results with ledvance as well in the sense that they're robust and reliable but may take some tinkering to get the color/temp right.
