It does seem an easy win for govts to easily conform.

I buy the ones that are suitable for dimmable switches (even tho I don't have dimmers) because there is discernible flicker with most other LED bulbs if you for eg wave your arm through the air or made a saccade. There is a certification (i think) for LED bulbs that are closer to sunlight in their emission spectrum

Look for high Ra or CRI value. Dont buy cheap LED lights, they last for far too long.
