Looking for very low light, very small LED lamps and/or fairy lights for evening light and I'm losing my mind.

Hey all!

I'm losing my mind here. I have an evening routine that sets a few of my smart bulbs in each room to very low light. What I want to do is distribute smaller light sources on shelves, planters, etc. that turn on and cast a warm white glow as well.

When I say small, I'm talking very small: fairy lights like these:

and little 2" glass orbs lit from the bottom like these:

I'd even love a very very miniature lamp (like ... 2-3" tall).

Problem is, I can't find anything that works. I can find zero options that can be tied into my automation scheme directly (fair enough), but I also can't find anything that will work with a smart plug setup.

For example, the fairy lights above come with a remote that lets you dim them, and on their lowest level, they're perfect ... but when you turn off the power at the smart plug and turn back on, they don't remember and come back on blazingly bright.

The glass orbs all are on technicolor bright as day cycles until you use their little remotes, and don't remember their settings when cycled at the outlet.

And I can't for the life of me actually find anyone selling a tiny lamp that I could just shove a low-lumen LED into.

Anyone have any secret hidden fairy lights and/or bulb based products that are warm white, low light, and just function on/off at the outlet?

I've also been looking for something that can be dimmed to night glow and controlled. Any LED dimmer even at 1/255 is too bright... I can homebrew but I don't really want to.
