Uk Smart Bulb Recommendations (lemmy.world)

My home is mostly using smart switch or relays for lights, but we now have a specific need for some RGB light bulbs. Has anyone got any recommendations for good colour smart bulbs readily available in the UK?

I'd prefer Zigbee but am open to Wifi options if necessary. Currently leaning towards the innr bulbs as they seem a quality option but a fair bit cheaper than the likes of Hue.

I've tried a few "third party" smart bulbs as it were but, expensive as they are, nothing comes close to Hue for colour accuracy and general responsiveness. As you didn't specify "cheap", Hue will always be my recommendation.

That said, if you do want "cheap" and want to avoid WiFi then the Innr bulbs are fairly decent for the price. I've got about 15 of their spotlight style bulbs and they were half the price of the Hue alternatives.
