Luster - E14 470 Smart Bulb
A small round luster bulb in full colour: 16 million colours plus the full range of whites, in an E14 small screw fitting. Colour scenes and everyday white for smaller decorative fittings.
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.
-
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.
-
Colour
Full colour and whiteThe full spectrum: millions of colours plus tunable white, for scene lighting, accents and a bit of fun.
Selected
Everything you need to know
This is the colour Luster, a compact golf-ball bulb that adds 16 million colours to warm-to-cool white (2000K to 6500K) at 470 lumens, for pendant clusters, sconces and smaller fixtures. It takes the E14 small screw cap. Bluetooth works in one room out of the box; a Hue Bridge unlocks voice, scenes and automations, and it's Matter compatible.
Product features
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.
Compact golf-ball bulb
A small round bulb built for chandeliers, wall sconces and smaller decorative fittings. It suits fittings where a full-size globe would look out of place.
Made for small screw sockets
This is the E14 small Edison screw cap, the narrow fitting used in chandeliers, wall sconces and smaller decorative lights, not the full-size E27. It threads straight into any E14 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.
Bluetooth now, Bridge later
Pair over Bluetooth and run it from the Hue app out of the box, up to about ten lights in a room. Add the Hue Bridge, sold separately, for automations, control while you're away, and Matter, Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa.
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.
