Smart light bulb suggestions (lemmy.trippy.pizza)

I'm completely out of the smart lights loop and I'm looking for light bulbs that allow me to set brightness, color temperature and possibly the color in general using HA.

I see a lot of people recommending zigbee bulbs, which is fine, I just need to buy a dongle, but I already have an isolated wifi network with no internet access that I use to control smart stuff from my home server, so something with wifi would be ideal. I want something that I can just screw in and control from my server with no proprietary apps needed for the initial configuration.

Can you give me some recommendations?

Thanks

I'm pretty happy with my ThirdReality Zigbee light bulbs. I've got over a dozen now, nice and easy to use with HA

I have two Sengled zigbee bulbs (they also sell wifi bulbs, so choose carefully), and they've been great. They're in my outdoor fixtures, so they deal with both freezing and very hot temperatures. They didn't even have an issue when I changed my zigbee network channel. I've had them several years now without any issues at all.

They're probably the same bulbs as yours, but I just wanted to give people another option.
