<p>I realized that in order to receive lightning payments from others, you need to first run a lightning full node. I found this one from Eclair: <a href="https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair</a> </p>

<p>Are there other full node lightning implementations like Eclair node that are just as reliable?</p>

What other lightning nodes are there besides Eclair Core for running a full node lightning?

Are there other full node lightning implementations like Eclair node that are just as reliable?

There are a few lightning network full node implementations, that follow the [LN specifications.](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc) Note that in many ways the specs, and software, are considered experimental, and should be used at your own risk.
