Everything you need to know
The Hue Akari is a 90 mm recessed downlight with white and colour ambiance, giving you the full 2000K to 6500K white range plus colour from a fitting that sits flush in the ceiling. It runs over Bluetooth in a single room out of the box, and pairs with the Hue Bridge for Zigbee, Matter and whole-home control. It is IP44 and IC-4 rated for Australian installs.
Product features
Full colour, flush in the ceiling
The Akari covers the whole 2000K to 6500K white range plus full colour, from a downlight that finishes flush. It puts out 800 lumens at 8.5 W, with the LED integrated so there is no globe to replace.
90 mm cut-out, IC-4 rated
It drops into a standard 90 mm ceiling cut-out and carries an IC-4 rating, the top insulation-contact class in AS/NZS 60598.2.2. Insulation of any type can sit right over it with no clearance needed around the fitting, so the batts run unbroken across the ceiling. An IP44 rating means it also suits bathrooms and other damp areas.
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.
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.
