Philips Hue A21 Bulb with Bluetooth (White & Color Ambiance)

High-output, full-spectrum smart lighting with dual-protocol control and Hue Bridge scalability for whole-home automation

The Philips Hue A21 White & Color Ambiance bulb is engineered for high-coverage fixtures and premium smart home environments where output, color quality, and control flexibility matter. Delivering a powerful 1600 lumens with 16 million colors and tunable white from 2000K to 6500K, it supports everything from warm evening ambience to crisp daylight task lighting. Bluetooth enables rapid setup and direct control, while Zigbee support allows seamless expansion via the Hue Bridge (sold separately) to unlock advanced scheduling, remote access, and Hue accessory integration at scale.

✔ 1600 lumens output ✔ 16M colors + tunable white ✔ 2000K–6500K range ✔ Bluetooth + Zigbee ✔ Schedules + remote control (Bridge) ✔ 3-year limited warranty

Maximum Brightness, Full Color Control, and a Scalable Hue Architecture

Purpose-built for larger rooms and higher-mounted fixtures, the A21 form factor provides materially higher brightness than typical A19 smart bulbs while maintaining the Hue ecosystem’s refined control experience. Use Bluetooth for immediate, room-level lighting control, or pair with a Hue Bridge to scale up to a broader system footprint—enabling remote control, routines, and accessory-driven automation. With instant dimming, a broad 2000K–6500K tunable white range, and full-spectrum color, it’s a single-bulb upgrade that behaves like an infrastructure component in a premium smart home.
