The E14 colour candle to buy if you already run a Hue Bridge: same Gamut C colour and rock-solid Hue integration as the full-size bulbs, in a small-screw candle shape for chandeliers and wall lights. It is the dearest E14 colour option by some distance, and it is sold in 3-packs, so it only makes sense when you need several.
What can Home Assistant control on the Philips Hue White & Colour Ambiance Candle E14 (B39, 3-pack)?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Light | On/off, brightness and colour as a standard light entity. |
| Colour temperature | Light attribute | White range plus full colour; HA clamps requests to what the bulb supports. |
| Effect | Select | Dynamic scenes via the Bridge, or firmware effects when paired to Z2M/ZHA. |
Needs a Hue Bridge for HA's core hue integration, which is local and push-based. The bulb is also a standard Zigbee device, so you can pair it straight to Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA and skip the Bridge, at the cost of Bridge-side features such as Entertainment sync. Bluetooth-only use (no Bridge) is not visible to Home Assistant.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Philips Hue White & Colour Ambiance Candle E14 (B39, 3-pack) work with Home Assistant locally?
- Yes. The Philips Hue White & Colour Ambiance Candle E14 (B39, 3-pack) is controlled locally in Home Assistant through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (hue), so it keeps working if your internet connection or the Philips Hue cloud goes down. Control and state updates stay on your own network.
- Which protocol does the Philips Hue White & Colour Ambiance Candle E14 (B39, 3-pack) use, and do I need a hub?
- The Philips Hue White & Colour Ambiance Candle E14 (B39, 3-pack) uses Zigbee and Bluetooth. To pair it with Home Assistant you need a Zigbee coordinator (for example a SkyConnect/ZBT-1 or Sonoff dongle) attached to your Home Assistant host; or a Bluetooth adapter on your Home Assistant host or an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy. Philips Hue's own hub is not required when you integrate through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (hue).
