Homekit compatible lights

These HomeKit light bulbs, spots, strips and lamps all work with Apple Home and are sold in Europe. Start with the fitting. E27 is the standard large screw base, E14 is the small screw base used in candle bulbs and many small lamps, and GU10 is the two-pin base for ceiling spots. Use the filters to show only your fitting. The UK and parts of France also use B22 bayonet bulbs.

The second choice is how the bulb connects:

• Thread. Bulbs such as Nanoleaf Essentials, the Aqara LED Bulb T2 (GU10) and tink Basics Matter bulbs talk over Thread. They react quickly, keep working without the internet and don't add load to your Wi‑Fi. They need a Thread-capable home hub, such as a HomePod mini or an Apple TV 4K (Wi‑Fi + Ethernet).
• Wi‑Fi. WiZ, LIFX and Osram/Ledvance Smart+ bulbs connect straight to your router, so the bulb itself needs no extra hardware. Many use 2.4 GHz only, and dozens of Wi‑Fi bulbs can strain a basic router.
• Hue Bridge. Most Philips Hue bulbs use Zigbee, and many also have Bluetooth. Bluetooth only lets you control them from the Hue app. To use Hue bulbs in Apple Home and with Siri, you need a Hue Bridge, which brings the whole Hue system into Home. Newer Hue bulbs marked with Matter support can be added to Apple Home directly.

Whichever you choose, a home hub (HomePod or Apple TV) is what makes remote control and automations work. Prices shown are current Amazon.de prices.
