GU10 zigbee lightbulbs recomendation

Configuration

hey everyone

i have recently been trying to look for some good cheap zigbee gu10 lightbulbs that connect to zigbee2mqtt but I’m having some trouble i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations especially for warm to cool while (rgb is recommended but not totally necessary)

Not sure what kind of fixture you are using, but for my case I had trouble finding lights that weren’t the spot or can light shape. I have a ceiling fan I wanted to replace the bulbs in and found that cheap adapters let me use a ‘normal’ E26 or E12 light that have a lot more options. Barely fit though!

just using a fixture for a gu10 bulb just trying to find a bulb to hook to zigbee2mqtt that has a nice variety of exposes

Ikea works for me, but a recommendation is also dependent on which country you live in.

Have you looked at the bulbs by
innr?

Ikea has two GU10 bulbs that work well via standard Zigbee. Cheap too.

I had some Ledvance (Osram) GU10 RGBW bulbs and they worked fine apart from the early ones (2018) showed purple instead of blue (UK). Not cheap though.

I now use Athom wifi ones as they were cheaper and work great

I just installed 7 IKEA TRADFRI bulbs and they work fine… no issue. I’m satisfied, but my data point is just 3 days long…

I noticed that the IKEA prices differ significantly per country.
E.g. Switzerland, where I live, on RGB TRADFRI costs 19.95 CHF. in Slovakia it’s 9.99 EUR (currently 9.38 CHF) for the same product. White bulbs are cheaper, but the 2x difference is similar.

We have around 100 GU10 bulbs in the house, which I want to replace gradually… I find the price difference quite steep, which is why I’m looking for recommendations here.

I found RGB from MOES on AliExpress for 6 CHF. I already have MOES zigbee remote switch which works without an issue and quality & design look pretty good. Does anyone have experience with these? Good or bad? Can recommend? Alternatively some other brand on AliExpress/Temu. For me, unfortunately, it’s easier to order from China to Switzerland than from IKEA Slovakia.

I would invest in zigbee light switches instead of replacing all the bulbs. I was in a similar situation, with 31 gu10’s in my kitchen / lounge area alone. Builder went nuts with them.

This is true unless you want to partition the bulbs into groups that the builder didn’t provide for.

For GU10, you can’t beat these moes ones… super cheap and have been very reliable so far:-

I got mine on Aliexpress and they are even cheaper now :

They don’t have any the power on settings like the Tradfri stuff, and expose a basic RGB colour bulb (in ZHA):
