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.

    I’ve been quite happy with my Tradfri Ikea bulks. Got some spread throughout the house. I did have one RGB bulk I got from AliExpress, but although it could do a whole range of colours it just didn’t have the brightness I was looking for. I haven’t tried the Phillips Hue ones though, so they might be better. I just happened to be in Ikea and spotted them, so went for it purely because of the fact I was needing some and walked past them. Had I walked past some Hue ones instead I’d probably have considered going for them instead.
