Fitting
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Everything you need to know
This is the large G125 filament globe in a B22 bayonet cap, a decorative bulb built to be seen: clear glass, visible coiled filament, warm-to-cool white (about 2200K to 4500K) at 550 lumens. The amber filament stays warm-looking even when cooled. Check your socket, this is the bayonet fitting, not the E27 screw. Bluetooth works out of the box; a Hue Bridge adds voice and automations. White only, no colour.
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.

Warm light to unwind

A big filament globe on show
The G125 is one of the largest globes Hue makes, with a visible coiled filament behind clear glass. It's made to be seen in open pendants and bare fittings, rather than tucked behind a shade. The amber-tinted filament keeps the look warm even at the cooler end of the range.

Made for bayonet sockets
This is the B22 bayonet cap, the push-and-twist fitting in many older Australian homes, not the E27 screw. It drops straight into any B22 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.
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 B22 bayonet base, the push-and-twist fitting common in older Australian homes. This is a large G125 globe, so it suits open pendants where the bulb 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 globe: 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.
