Where sells the best "warm" lightbulbs?

Bizarrely most of my downstairs lightbulbs have gone at once (so much for lasting ten years).

I bought some at Morrison's to replace them, 5 watt "warm white" candle bulbs. But having put one in, the light seems very harsh and also yellow rather than warm.

I have a Wilko "warm white" bulb in my room that's much more warm but they've been discontinued.

Does anyone have any recommendations please?
What wattage do people go for? Each of my fittings has two bulbs so maybe 5 watts was too much.

An option is Wi-Fi bulbs. I hate harsh light it gives me migraine so I bought a couple of packs from Amazon on offer. You can set the colour on an app.

Oh thanks, I'll check them out. I don't get migraines but the light from the bulbs I've bought is definitely very harsh.

I paid £30 for six so not too outrageous and I really like being able to set them individually, landing brighter etc. Boring I know but it's pleasing having them just right.
