+**Zigbee, not WiFi/cloud bulbs** — the whole point of the Zigbee2MQTT backbone this
+project already runs (§1.3) is one local mesh instead of N different manufacturer
+clouds; a WiFi bulb (Tuya/WiZ/etc.) would be a second, cloud-dependent ecosystem
+bolted onto a stack that's explicitly local-first everywhere else. Mains-powered
+Zigbee bulbs also act as mesh **routers**, which matters here specifically: ~16 of
+them spread across every room does more for whole-house Zigbee coverage (for the
+battery sensors in §1.4) than the coordinator alone ever could.

+| IKEA TRÅDFRI color | Yes | Well-supported, huge install base | ~€12–15/bulb (cheapest of the three) | Not on Amazon in most regions (IKEA.com/stores only) — cheaper on paper but doesn't fit "find it on Amazon," and the color-capable SKU specifically (not the tunable-white-only ones) needs care to pick |
+| Sengled Zigbee color (e.g. [2-pack](https://www.amazon.com/Sengled-Changing-Dimmable-Multicolor-Equivalent/dp/B0899LJHVV)) | **No** — end device only | Supported, but community reports of RGB/XY color quirks on some zigbee2mqtt versions | Similar ballpark to innr | Skipped — buying 16 non-router bulbs throws away the mesh-strengthening benefit that's the actual reason to prefer mains-powered bulbs here |
+
+Buying at this quantity: check amazon.de for a 4-pack or larger multi-pack of the
+RB 285 C (cheaper per-unit than 16x single-packs) before ordering singles.
