Which smart lights in 2026 I've had about 30 Philips Hue lights for many years now. However the light output on them is pretty weak on modern standards. I was thinking about upgrading, and looked into options. It seems Hue now has both 1100 lumen and 1600 lumen lights available, though the list prices for these are INSANE in comparison to some of the other stuff. I bought one E27 Kajplats white ambiance bulb from IKEA for about 9€ \~ 10USD, it lists 1500 lumen and beats the absolute shit out of the old Hue white ambiance bulb I have. The corresponding newer Hue light with 1100 lumen is triple the price. Having done some reading, it seems the Kajplats lights can also switch between Thread and Zigbee network. I run Home Assistant and have a ZBT-2 coordinator for Zigbee network and a Apple TV 4K for Thread network. I don't care if the lights support Wifi or Bluetooth, in fact I would rather they support neither because that will just bloat the price.…
