A small round luster bulb with adjustable white, from warm to cool daylight, in an E14 small screw fitting. For pendant clusters, sconces and 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.
Selected -
Colour
Full colour and whiteThe full spectrum: millions of colours plus tunable white, for scene lighting, accents and a bit of fun.
Everything you need to know
The luster is a compact golf-ball shape for smaller fittings, and this is the White Ambiance version, tuning across 2200K to 6500K so a cluster or sconce can be warm at night and cool for task light. It takes the E14 small screw cap and puts out 470 lumens. Bluetooth works out of the box; a Hue Bridge adds voice and automations. For colour, choose the Luster 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.
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.

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 an E14 small Edison screw base, the fitting used in many chandeliers, wall sconces and smaller decorative fixtures.
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.
