The plain dimmable warm-white Hue bulb in a B22 bayonet fitting, sold in 2-packs. It is the cheapest way into Hue for older UK homes, and it works through a Hue Bridge or directly with a Zigbee coordinator. White only, so skip it if you want colour or tunable white.
What can Home Assistant control on the Philips Hue White B22 (806 lm)?
Through a Hue Bridge, the built-in Hue integration talks to the bridge over the local API. Without a bridge the bulb can pair to ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, though Hue firmware updates then need the bridge or a manual route.
