Einleitung

Hier wird eine einfache und günstige Reparatur des Glaskolbens gezeigt.

Werkzeuge

Ersatzteile

1x IKEA Ledare Bulb

Schritt 1

Die Philips Hue Glühbirne ist recht teuer (um 50€). Der Glaskolben ist dünn und kann leicht zerbrechen, die Lampe leuchtet dann in einem unangenehm störenden Licht.
Andererseits kannst du günstige LED Lampen finden, z.B. bei Ikea. Hier wird gezeigt, wie du die Ikea Lampe auseinandernehmen und den Glaskolben zur Reparatur der Philips Hue Lampe benutzen kannst.

Schritt 2

Beginne mit dem sorgfältigen Entfernen jeglicher Glasreste an der Philips Hue Lampe. Hier sind die Glasreste schon komplett beseitigt.
Benutze eine Wasserpumpenzange um den Schraubkontakt an der Ikea Lampe vorsichtig auszubrechen und zu entfernen.
Wenn er entfernt ist, kannst du den LED Treiber mit den Fingern herausziehen. Möglicherweise musst du eine geeignete Zange benutzen.

Schritt 3

Der Kolben ist mit einer Fassung aus Kunststoff und Metall verklebt.
Entferne die Fassung mit einem geeigneten Werkzeug, z.B. einem Seitenschneider. Du musst nur den Kunststoffteil der Fassung wegschneiden, damit der Glaskolben frei wird.

Schritt 4

Trage Kleber auf den Ikea Glaskolben und die Hue Fassung auf.
Warte etwas, dann presse die Teile gut zusammen.

Schritt 5

Glückwunsch! Du hast gerade eine 50€ Lampe mit 2€ repariert!

Can't wait to try it! I really didn't want to lose this color hue bulb, so this is a great way to extend the life of these bulbs

You’re exactly the kind of person who is in the situation for which I posted this guide :) :) :)

fingers crossed for you !!

Is there any other model that fits better into the Philips Hue? I broke one and want to fix it but I see on your pictures that the Ikea bulb doesn’t fit perfectly.

maybe we can find another model that fits into the Hue base…

in any case I want to thank you for the guide! Good idea to repair Hue bulbs

Hi !

sorry for missing your comment !

i have no idea to be honest. This is a easy hack that worked fine for me since my bulbs are in an enclosure :)

hope you found something that worked for you !

Great stuff! Has anyone tried unscrewing the three screws seen on the second picture under step 1? I figure that would make it easier to get all of the broken glass out of the way and start with a clean slate before gluing the new glass on there. I just don’t know if there are any cables under there that would break or something of that nature, and don’t really want to find out if I risk breaking the entire thing.

Maybe someone with a completely dead bulb could try it and snap some pictures? Fingers crossed!

Okay, so after further research the plastic piece held down by the three crews is just a lid. It lifted up with a bit of pursuasion due to the glue/silicone mold. Do note, though, that there are different designs out there. My bulb has a star pattern LED layout. In my case lifting the lid made it easier to completely remove the shattered glass. Good luck ya’ll.

Hi David !

thanks for putting your own feedback to the guide ! I’m glad that you found a way

I personnaly had to apply extra « force » on several parts but overall removing the glass was quite easy !

good luck with the fixing process

(puts on snotty internet know it all voice) Uhm, actually....

Colloquially speaking, though from a more technical point of view, the globe shaped piece you replace is the diffuser, as the entire unit is considered the 'bulb' (A19 form factor IIRC).

For those wondering, any old led bulbs diffuser could be used. Just gently work around the joint between the diffuser and plastic (usually encasing aluminum) body with a sprudger to separate the silicone caulk like glue bonding them together. Though do take a moment to take notice of the plastic thickness and density (tap it, squeeze it. Does it sound thin and bendy, or brittle, or denser with more of a slight give than a crumpling bend), some plastics are not be suited for the heat of a higher output unit. Remember, LED power supplies and pwm switching circuits tend to dump a bit of heat, especially when ran at near or even over max ratings like most manufacturers do. Also remember to choose an adhesive that can perform in a hot environment without failing.
