Everything you need to know
This is a filament bulb, clear glass with a visible coiled filament for a vintage look, so it's made to be seen in open pendants and bare fittings rather than hidden behind a shade. It's White Ambiance, tuning from warm to cooler white (about 2200K to 4500K) at a soft 550 lumens, 40 W-equivalent. Bluetooth works out of the box; a Hue Bridge adds voice and automations. No colour on this one, it's white only.
Product features
A visible coiled filament
Clear glass with a coiled filament on show, made to be seen in open pendants and bare fittings rather than hidden behind a shade. It carries the vintage look people fit exposed bulbs for, without the fixed warm glow of an old filament globe.
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.
Warm 2200 K to cool 6500 K
Bright cool light to focus
Warm light to unwind
Follows a daily schedule
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.
Smooth from 100% to a 1% glow
No flicker, no buzz
Set the exact level you want
Ideal for bedrooms and nurseries
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.
The lights
Bulbs, lamps, strips & fixtures
All speak Zigbee and mesh with each other, so every light you add extends the network's reach.
The hub
One Bridge runs the whole home
Runs up to 50 lights off your router, and connects Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings.
The control
App, voice & switches
One app for rooms, scenes and schedules, plus dimmers, buttons and sensors that work without a phone.
Getting started
1
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.
2
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 suits open pendants and exposed fittings where the coiled filament is on show.
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 filament bulb: a range of white from warm, candle-like light to a cooler white, with the vintage coiled filament on show. It doesn't produce coloured light.
