All smart bulbs will have a label stating their lumens, colour, lifespan, energy usage and cost for a year - allowing you to compare bulbs and find the right one for you.If you have bayonet light fittings and want smart bulbs that can change colour temperature, then the B22 bulb from Philips Hue is a good option.
