I was even ordering your IKEA ones to Finland, they are not that bad. 😉 Maybe there are some cheaper, but I think the quality of them is ok.

Ikea ones are as budget as you would want them to be to not be prone to causing trouble with their connectivity

But I have a feeling that zigbee bulbs / devices are generally too expensive compared to similar wifi devices.

No they arent

#

You pay for proper implementations of protocols aswell as not having forced cloud attachment

#

The only actual price difference goes towards zwave as they have stricter validation/licensing

Yeah its been the consensus of what I read online but I was just if there were any zigbee bulbs I been missing thats cheap to buy in bulk as I need about 20 of em.

Unless there is a sale on em I don't see any reasonable ones that can be recommended in general

#

Cheaper solutions than that tend to all be tuya based coming with rather many negative qualities.
