Recommended 120v LED Bulbs?

Question

Anyone have good recent experience with standard (A19/A21) LED bulbs. I&rsquo;ve got some old Philips A21s that tolerate crappy dimmers without flickering, but I haven&rsquo;t had luck with their newer stuff.

Phillips lighting products or GE products. Basically any of the name brand bulbs from major manufactures. My whole house is Phillips hue and Phillips dimmable LED bulbs for dumb fixtures with z wave plus GE dimmers controlled by ring. Have not had a single one die dimming is smooth as silk.If you are getting flicker I would try swapping dimmers.

I bought from this company: https://www.ksrlighting.com/ (UK based)
Very impressed with the colo{u,}r purity
You can disconnect the transformer and power with 36v DC. Dimming works well with a PWM Meanwell dimmer (0-10v input)
If you're like me and want to avoid proprietary/locked-in stuff, highly recommend doing the 0-10v thing. Your control system is then separate from what drives the lights

I don't know about the crappy dimmers, but I have been extremely impressed with my IKEA bulbs. The higher watt ones become hot and probably die early, but the 600lm ones flicker VERY little, have a good light spectrum (no cheating with colour spikes).On the things I have been able to measure (flicker, colour spectrum) they cost about 1/3 of lights with similar quality.
