We have some 95mm Philips LED globes - a quick glance doesn't show a Hue equivalent in that size and shape. Has anyone come across anything similar? The shape is important, I found some Lohas (or something) 95mm on Amazon but they'd look bad in the light fittings we have.

Afraid I've not seen anything like that in the Hue or equivalent range as of yet.

On an unrelated note, I'm considering replacing my three LED wall lights in the living room, they're currently very small white cubes with up and downlights, but one of them has failed which is prompting me to look at an early change.

What have people done with Hue (or equivalent) in a wall light setting?

I was thinking something like this-

Probably stick a colour E14 bulb in each one, although it may detract from the glowing back wall and area behind the TV. so perhaps stick with white ambiance only?

ETA-
Alternative is up and down spotlights, although that would mean 6 GU10 bulbs to buy.

Probably worth posting in the owners thread, I imagine there’s a lot of posters who subscribe to that and won’t have seen this thread.
