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.

Edit: I'm looking to replace burnt bulbs anyway.

Even something as simple as that has a ton of possibilities for automation, once you have bulbs or switches in HA.

This was similar to my first automation and I ended up with

turn on dining room light 15 minutes after sunset
dim to 50% at 9pm
if weekday, turn off at 9:30pm
if weekend, turn off at 10:30pm
