G95 - E27 500 Smart Bulb
A Lightguide statement bulb: handblown crystal-clear glass with a glowing inner tube, in full colour plus warm-to-cool white. A decorative G95 globe for pendants where the bulb is the feature.
Everything you need to know
The Lightguide G95 is a handblown glass globe with a reflective inner tube that creates a distinctive glowing effect, so it's a decorative centrepiece rather than a workhorse light. It runs full colour and warm-to-cool white (2000K to 6500K) at a soft 500 lumens, so treat it as ambient or accent light, not a room's main source. E27 base. Bluetooth works out of the box; a Hue Bridge adds voice, scenes and automations.
Product features
Handblown glass with an inner glow
The Lightguide G95 is a handblown glass globe with a reflective inner tube that gives it a soft, glowing effect. It's a decorative centrepiece for pendants where the bulb itself is the feature, not a workhorse light. The rounded G95 shape reads as a classic globe, scaled up.
ChromaSync
Sixteen million colours and every shade of warm-to-cool white, tuned as one. Blend several colours along a single light and shift the whole scene at once, so a room moves from a bright morning white to a warm evening wash without setting each light on its own.
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. As a handblown Lightguide globe, it's made to be seen in open pendants and bare fittings.
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.
Yes, it shows 16 million colours plus warm-to-cool white. It's a decorative Lightguide statement bulb though, with a soft ambient glow of around 500 lumens from the visible inner tube, so it's made to be seen in open fittings rather than used as a main light.
