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.

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.

The ikea ones are alright
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.
May I ask why smart bulbs and not smart switch in case you dont need rgb? What happens when you turn off wall switch? Smart bulbs stop working?
They’ll go off. But when you turn the switch on again, the light goes on again. You can set that within Home Assistant.
First sentance sounds like normal switch and bulb, but maybe i missunderstood you
Philips Hue was the best i owned, but Sengled are ok.
