Light bulbs (lemmus.org)

Hi everyone. I recently started my Home Assistant journey by replacing Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant. A couple of light bulbs burnt out and I want to replace them with bulbs that I can use exclusivity on Home Assistant and bypass the manufacturers app entirely. What brand should I look for?

These are standard wall mounted lights in my kitchen and my laundry room.

Phillips hue bulbs are solid but on the pricy side.

Govee is ok, I recommend making sure you get ones that have Matter capability. Same with LifX brand.

Iim sure there are other brands but those are 3 I have experience with.

In my area we have a brand called LEDvance, which ships both wifi and zigbee bulbs. I have some of the Zigbee ones and I don't need anything other than HomeAssistant to add them to my network.
