Need Help Improving My Room Lighting – Smart & Normal Bulb Suggestions?

[Zork]

Hey everyone, I’m looking to upgrade the lighting in my room and could use some advice. My room has two B22 sockets, and I’ve been using a Philips T-Bulb 20W, but it’s starting to show its age. I want to improve the lighting and upgrade to something brighter.

I’m thinking of installing:

1. A smart bulb in one socket – any budget-friendly recommendations that work well? Also, do I need a smart plug or switch, or can I control it directly with an app?
2. A normal (non-smart) bulb in the other socket – something bright and efficient.

My room is kinda big, and I feel like 20W isn’t enough anymore. How many watts would be ideal? Any suggestions for both smart and normal bulbs?
Also how does this work , should i try it as its budget friendly and most 12w smart bulbs are costing 600+

Would appreciate any recommendations and setups as im new to this. Thanks!

Smart bulb - Good to play with in the beginning, later lost interest as it uses 2.4GHz WiFi vs 5GHz WiFi used to generally connect my phone. I won't likely buy another smart bulb in future.

I have one of those Philips T shaped LED lights in my hall. I bought one with inbuilt battery. IMO it is pretty good, can buy non-battery version if you already have an inverter. Buy its higher wattage one if you feel 20W is not enough.

I mostly purchased battery variant LED bulbs in my home. The ones in kitchen fails after a year or so, 3 bulbs failed in ~4 years but others are still good after 2+ years.
