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.

I go to a half-way house: Smart bulbs, dumb switches, but a zigbee button next to the switch.
1 click toggles on/off in the last state.
Press+Hold for warm-white evening.
Double-click for daytime.
And now, a sticker on the 230v switch that says "don't switch off!"

We have a similar setup for lights that aren't just tied up to motion sensors :)

I'm sure I've seen a mollyguard-like printable that covers the rocker of the switch to prevent accidental presses. It had a slot in it so you could still flip the switch with a card or similar thing object.
