# $4 Zigbee Lightbulb Deep Dive

$4 Zigbee Lightbulb Deep Dive October 1, 2025 | Home Automation Table of Contents Intro So, my first Zigbee bulbs were a bunch of Philips Hues. I snagged a pretty good deal on the bundle, they were still pricey even with the discount. I was expecting top-notch quality, but two of them kicked the bucket in under two years, which got me looking for other options. The first (and only) alternative I’ve tried is this eWeLink model CK-BL702-AL-01(7009_Z102LG03-1). Yeah, the name sounds kinda scary, but they were only four bucks each on AliExpress. I ordered six of them to swap out the old Philips
