in wall sconces to go above my bed and I want to get some smart bulbs to connect to my Alexa but I want them to have a filament bulb. I found these Philips HUE bulbs that I like: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07SNGBWG4/ref=crt_ewc_title_oth_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

My light fitting says that they need a 5W LED or MAX 42W Halogen bulb, but the Philips hue bulbs are a 7W LED but their Incandescent Equivalent is 40 watts. Can I use these bulbs? or do I need to find new bulbs?

Yes, these will work fine. The "5 watt" is the minimum for your fixture to dim. The 42 watt halogen maximum is, for the most part, a heat maximum and led bulbs don't generate anywhere near the heat of a halogen bulb. This is a 220 volt bulb.
