For most Australian homes the TP-Link Tapo L530B is the smart pick: about $12, the correct B22 bayonet fitting, full colour, no hub, and over 1,100 Australian-store ratings. Step up to the WiZ or meross E27 bulbs for value colour on screw lamps (the meross is the cheapest reliable Apple HomeKit option), the LIFX White B22 for the best-quality warm white, or the LIFX Nightvision for a bright 1,200-lumen colour bayonet bulb. Buy the Philips Hue twin pack only if you will also buy a Hue Bridge and build a whole-home system.
