No flickerDiscontinuedNanoleaf NL54U000 MR16 full color smart bulb
The verdict
A full color MR16 bulb, now discontinued. Its white light is fair (CRI 80, Rf 84), it dims down to 0.6 lm, its warmest white is 2136K, and I measured no flicker risk.
A strong pick for evenings: it gets both warm and very dim, so it can double as a night light.
