> I am also in the Europe, most other commenters seem to be from the US. You're falling for the "Europe is better than the US, of course" mindset. What you are actually seeing are partisans spinning a narrative to fit their ideology, not an accurate description of reality. We have really high CRI bulbs here, too, and they're inexpensive. I can go down to the home store and buy them by the dozen. I'll bet you money that bulbs in the US and bulbs in Europe are mostly manufactured in the same place...

Please link me to a 95+ CRI bulb available at Home Depot or Lowe's.

  Greater than 95 or including 95? Most of the Philips brand dimmable LEDs have a CRI of 95. The eco smart is crap at 80 and that’s to be excepted from the cheap house brand. The in ceiling lights I bought to replace a bottom dollar Amazon light was are 94 and I’m pretty sure I bought the cheapest I could that would change temp to match my existing ones. Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Philips-Soft-White-A19-LED-60W-Equivalent-Dimmable-Smart-Wi-Fi-Wiz-Connected-Wireless-Light-Bulb-555474/310289020 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Philips-Soft-White-A19-LED-60W-E... Looks like GE’s Sunshine brand has a CRI of 97 and is $8.99 on Amazon.

    Wifi bulb with an App? Now I have to worry about light bulb security and it selling me out?

      No one is forcing you to use it. I have WiFi switches and bulbs. I prefer switches over smart bulbs but I like automating both. If your paranoid out them on a VLAN that doesn’t have access to your network or don’t connect them at all.

  https://www.google.com/search?q=site%253Ahomedepot.com+CRI https://www.google.com/search?q=site%253Ahomedepot.com+CRI Cree, GE's "HD" line, Phillips' high CRI line, and I believe "Feit", the HD brand, also has high CRI bulbs. You can only get Cree bulbs from HD via shipping; they don't stock them in store, at least in my area. Phillips and GE HD bulbs are available in a lot of local hardware stores and even pharmacies.

    I don't see any 95+ CRI 100 Watt replacement bulbs on their site?

  Needing to replace a 100W incandescent recently, I bought this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/EcoSmart-100-Watt-Equivalent-A19-Dimmable-CEC-Frosted-Glass-Filament-LED-Light-Bulb-Soft-White-2-Pack-11FFA19100WT201/318284729 https://www.homedepot.com/p/EcoSmart-100-Watt-Equivalent-A19... Home Depot's "Ecosmart" store brand, claims 95 CRI, and has admirable dimming performance even on the cheapo not-designed-for-LED dimmer I have on the fixture. And it has a more even and omnidirectional pattern of illumination than typical LED bulbs. Of course, time will be the only real judge.
