Recommendations for Zigbee Bulbs (lemmy.world)

I realized I have some old hue bulbs laying around, and they're working well enough with my Zigbee controller (no bridge), but if I decide to scale up I definitely don't want to pay the Hue premium.

Anyone have a Zigbee bulb brand they recommend? I hear Third Reality is nice?

The high CRI Philips Ultra Definition bulbs with a smart dimmer. I use them with a Z-Wave Leviton but there's ZigBee options too if you don't have a Z-Wave radio. Those bulbs make the most beautiful light... I use the warm ones 2700K or so because they're the best for the eyes. It seems Cree and Feit also have high CRI bulbs but I haven't tried them.
