A60 - E27 1100 Smart Bulb
Every shade of white, from warm candlelight to cool daylight, in a standard E27 bulb. Warm the room for dinner or cool it for focus, all from the app, without paying for colour.
Colour guide
Warm, cool, or full colour?
Globes come in three options: a fixed warm white, an adjustable warm-to-cool white, or the full colour spectrum.
-
White
Fixed warm whiteA fixed warm white, the cosy lamp-like glow most globes default to. You can't change the colour from the app.
-
Warm to Cool White
Warm to coolAdjustable white that runs from warm and cosy to crisp and cool, so one globe suits both relaxing and focused rooms.
Selected -
Colour
Full colour and whiteThe full spectrum: millions of colours plus tunable white, for scene lighting, accents and a bit of fun.
Fitting guide
Which fitting do I need?
The cap on the base of the globe decides what fits the socket. The code is usually printed on the old globe or the fitting itself.
-
B22
Bayonet · largeThe push-and-twist bayonet base: line up the two pins, push in and turn a quarter to lock. It's been the classic Australian fitting for decades, so it's still common in older homes.
-
E27
Edison screw · largeThe big screw-in base, 27mm across. It's the default for most pendants, lamps and standard fittings in Australia, so if you're not sure, it's probably this one. The size is printed on the base of the globe you're replacing.

Everything you need to know
White Ambiance covers the full spectrum of white light, from warm, candlelit tones to crisp cool daylight, so you can match the light to the time of day: cosy at night, cool and bright for working or reading. This is the newest A60, 40% more efficient than the previous generation and dimmable to 0.2% for a soft night-light glow. Bluetooth works out of the box; a Hue Bridge adds voice, remote access and richer automations. If you want colour as well, choose the Colour version.
Product features
Tunable white
One white for every part of the day. Shift from a warm 2200 K glow to crisp 6500 K daylight, and every step between. Cool, bright light helps you focus in the morning; a warmer tone winds the room down at night. Set it by hand, or let a schedule move it through the day for you.
Match the light to the time of day
Set a warm glow for the evening and a crisp daylight tone for the morning, or let a routine shift it automatically. At 1100 lumens it works as the main light, dimming to 0.2% for a soft night-light.
Made for screw sockets
This is the E27 Edison screw cap, the most common fitting in Australian homes, not the B22 bayonet. It threads straight into any E27 socket, so check yours before you order.
Deep, smooth dimming
Take the light from full brightness down to a 1% glow with no flicker, no buzz and no sudden jump to off. It's the difference between a bulb that only really has 'on' and 'off', and one you can set exactly where you want it: soft enough for a nursery at night, or a hallway after dark.
The Philips Hue system
Hue is a system, not just a smart bulb. Every Hue product, from bulbs and lamps to light strips and fixtures, joins the same Zigbee mesh and shows up in one app. A single bulb bought today slots straight into a whole-home setup later.
Bulbs, lamps, strips & fixtures
All speak Zigbee and mesh with each other, so every light you add extends the network's reach.
One Bridge runs the whole home
Runs up to 50 lights off your router, and connects Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings.
App, voice & switches
One app for rooms, scenes and schedules, plus dimmers, buttons and sensors that work without a phone.
Start with one light Start here
Add your first Hue light, open the Hue app, and control up to 10 lights in one room over Bluetooth. No hub required.
Add the Hue Bridge When you're ready
Run up to 50 lights, control them from anywhere, set schedules and automations, and connect your voice assistant.
Start small, scale up. Everything you buy today keeps working when you add the Bridge, and everything Hue has made since 2012 still joins the same system.

No. It pairs over Bluetooth and you control it from the Hue app, up to about ten bulbs in one room. Add the Hue Bridge to run up to 50 bulbs, set automations, control the lights while you're away, and connect to Matter, Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa.
It has a standard E27 Edison screw base, the most common screw fitting in Australia. It goes into any E27 socket in place of an ordinary globe.
Yes, fully dimmable from the Hue app, a Hue switch or your voice, with no separate wall dimmer. Don't wire it to a traditional dimmer, as that breaks the smart control. Leave the wall switch on and dim from Hue instead.
It changes white temperature, not colour. This is a White ambiance bulb: every shade of white from warm 2200K to cool 6500K daylight, with no coloured light. Choose a White and colour bulb if you want colours.
