Can anyone recommend a color/RGB Z-Wave bulb?

I had a standard z-wave bulb die (discussed in another thread), and my boys want me to put in a colorful version if possible. I read reviews of a handful and none looked compelling/reliable, so I figured to ask those who know. you!

Thanks for any recommendations you have!

While not Z-Wave, you might consider LIFX as an option. They work over WiFi, and don't require a hub like the Hue bulbs do, and there already is a plugin for them here in Indigo.

I have been using a monoprice bulb since 2019 but looks like they don’t carry them anymore - I would buy more if they did.

I've been searching high and low for Z-wave bulbs.

Same here. I have 2 of the Monoprice bulbs and used to check every so often to see if more were available. They've been champs. I'd buy more if they were available too!

I bought and returned some LIFX bulbs. I am trying to avoid IoT type, Wi-Fi automation gear in favor of more "security by obscurity" protocols like Z-Wave and Insteon, but that is probably a lost cause at this point.

I look at these every so often and consider them, but they're often sold out (for a wonder they are available now apparently!).

I have been wanting to try some of their products but have not gotten around to it yet…
