Weirdly the candle bulb I bought didn’t have the logo either but it is zigbee
So is this confirmation that the only way to pair Tradfri bulbs (with all its settings) is with an Ikea Controller or Gateway?
Which settings can you control with the HE? Just on and off?
Ok, so after factory resetting the ikea light bulb : Return to default settings.
by turning on/off switch 6 times, the light then dims for a brief time (be quick), then you have to scan for zigbee devices. It will find it the Zigbee device as a default setting.
You can then change the light bulb to a generic zigbee bulb. However, I have not found anything else that works to change the light to it's cool white setting at the moment. Could use some help please.
Not sure what bulbs you are using but I’ve got the GU10s that have different whites and they work with the Generic ZigBee RGBW Light driver.
Have you tried the Generic Zigbee CT Bulb (dev) driver? CT for color temperature.
Hello @Alan_AYL
There are 2 types of Ikea bulbs.
One, the less expensive version only allows for (basic) operation: (e.g. on/off):

The more expensive kind, allows to change the colour of white:
https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/tradfri-led-bulb-gu10-400-lumen-wireless-dimmable-white-spectrum-80408608/
(use the generic zigbee rgbw bulb driver)
P.S. I had a certain difficulty in getting these bulbs to stay on my zigbee mesh. I believe that I have a relatively strong zigbee mesh, with zigbee 3.0 repeaters (many). So, I moved these bulbs to another of my hubs - the only devices on that hub (each Hub connected via HubConnect). End of issue. I've had no further problems.

Yes … same here in the US … two types of bulbs. White Spectrum and Warm White … only $1 difference, makes sense to get the CT adjustable one.
After I work through my other ZigBee issues (moving all Lightify bulbs/strips to their own HE), I'll get 4 of these for the range hood. I suppose I'll have to keep the hood light set to high and adjust using a smart switch … Pico to the rescue!!
