I pre-ordered an HA Green, but I want to purchase the lightbulbs before it comes. Can I use the Zigbee lightbulbs as regular lightbulbs until the HA Green arrives? or will the lightbulbs automatically go into pairing mode and flicker?

When powered ON, any unpaired Zigbee bulbs will indicate they are in paring mode by a single episode of blinking or cycling through colors or color temps. They should only remain in pairing mode for a few minutes - and won't go into pairing mode again until next time they are powered ON.
