As far as I know, this is the list: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations#light
Are there lights that are not supported that I'm unaware of?
That list is a wide variety of light interfaces where the underlying hardware may or may not support setting of the RGB.
I was curious of a sample list of actual lighting hardware that others have used successfully with HASS Circadian Lighting. For instance:

E.g. answering the question for a complete newbie: Love the idea, want to integrate into HASS, but what are some examples of things I may need to purchase. Get them started down the path quickly of figuring out their plan. Thanks.

CL works with color temp, RGB, or just dimming lights. If a user has/buys a light that's just on/off I don't know what they would expect CL to do. Also, I don't know of any connected lights that are only on/off (I'm sure they exist).
- HALO RL4069BLE40AWH Smart Bluetooth LED Recessed Light
That would not work, based on https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations#light. There is no Bluetooth light support, nor is there HALO specific device support.
All that being said, I'm perfectly fine with having a list of supported devices and I do think it's a fine idea. But I have pretty much exclusively Hue products so it would be up to the community to populate a list. I think the best place for that would be the Wiki of this repo, which anyone should be able to contribute to.
Agreed...it would be community maintained and obviously non-complete, but a good starting point for research. wiki is perfect.
Good to know about the dimmer capabilities! I didn't know this worked with just dimmable switches...installing in two different HASS installations tonight!

Easiest to use in my opinion is the Tradfri range of IKEA. They come in 3 flavours, all dimmable: = dimmable white = dimmable and adjustable white colour temperature = dimmable and full RGB
They are not expensive and - at least the many in my house - absolutely reliable. Regards, ahartman, belgium
Even a better explanation and/or one example of the type of bulb that fits each "Switch Configuration Variable" would be very helpful. For example, google just told me what "mireds" means but heck if I know which bulb needs that... no idea what "XY" is either. The other two are kind of self-explanatory. The only smart bulbs I have are Wyze and a semi-smart IR controlled cheapo. I'll probably have to try each config to see which works for Wyze.
The best way to figure out out is opening the light entity in the frontend.
- If it has this section, use lights_ct
- If it doesn't have the above section but does have this section, use lights_rgb or lights_xy (really just have to test)
- If it only has this section, use lights_brightness
When I get a change I'll add the above to the wiki.

I too had head scratching moments with setup regarding what to use. I used RGB for my Hue Color lights and the lights had a pinkish hue to them. Is that not ideal? Should I stick with CT? I was under the impression that the reason it was a pinkish hue was to get it more inline with circadian values.
Would be really useful for people looking at this to get a sense of what bulbs/hardware might be supported by this to enable quickly researching upgrade options. Thanks!
