Philips Hue Lightguide Triangle (top), Ellipse (left), and Globe (right).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nResembling Hue’s filament bulbs, dimmable white bulbs similarly designed for mood lighting, the Lightguide bulbs have the same subtle black base and clear glass bulb. But the Lightguide line is capable of full-color light as well as tunable white light and dimming. The new decorative bulbs come in three shapes: triangle, ellipse, and globe. <\/p>\n
The bulbs are also big, clocking in at just under eight inches tall and five inches wide. By comparison, Hue’s filament Edison bulb is 5.2 by 2.4 inches. These are clearly not designed to be hidden in a lampshade but, rather, to be on display as beautiful light bulbs in open fixtures. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n

Lightguide bulbs are a new decorative smart LED lighting option from Philips Hue.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nEach bulb has a visible inner tube and a reflective, glossy surface that \u201cgives them a special light,\u201d according to the product description. They output up to 500 lumens of light and 2,700 Kelvin, which is similar to the filament line, making these ambiance bulbs not suitable for task lighting.<\/p>\n
As with all Hue bulbs, they are both Bluetooth and Zigbee enabled, so they will work with a Hue Bridge, directly with your phone or tablet, or paired to an Amazon Echo smart speaker. You should be able to control them with the Hue app, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings, as well as all of Philips Hue’s other smart home integrations. Signify has also committed to supporting the new smart home standard Matter through the Hue Bridge.<\/p>\n
