Quick answer: Under £15 per bulb, expect compromises. For room lighting on a budget we often recommend starting with reliable plugs + selective bulbs; for gaming accent under a similar spend mindset, Govee kits punch harder than a single cheap colour bulb. Nanoleaf Shapes is the modular runner when panels go on sale.
The Big 5: 1 of 5UK buying reality
UK B22 vs E27 fittings catch people out. Cheap Wi-Fi bulbs spam your 2.4GHz. Prefer Zigbee/Matter bulbs if you already have a hub.
