The Philips Hue light strips are very versatile, bright, dimmable, and easily controlled by the Hue bridge. I use Alexa to turn the lights on/off and dim. I still need to use the Hue app to control colors. I have mounted two lights on the back of my flat screen TV to create interesting lighting effects. The lights have 3M sticky tape already mounted to the lights so installation is very easy. I'm looking for additional uses for these lights, I really like the lighting they produce.

As an early HUE adopter, I started with each bulb variety & the original Lightstrips. This updated Lightstrip is 10X brighter than the original! I have an unusual use for my first 2) Lightstrip Plus: I bought a wall clock that plays music with the internal Clarion System. The light sensor in this clock will not allow the sound to play, because it thinks our Family Room is too dark so it keeps it silenced! So I installed 2) strips on the back of 2) contemporary Pole Lights, so the lights are not seen from the room. They flood the walls with light, and the clock chimes beautiful music every hour! I use the HUE Alarm function to turn the Lightstrip Plus off during the night, and anytime I want silence. They are a wonderful product and work better than I could have imagined, based on comparisons with the original Lightstrip!!

These are the greatest thing since the door bell! If you haven't purchased anything from hue yet...these are a must! So many funthings you can do with these. I bought two sets and wrapped them around the base of my white Christmas tree. It glows! And any color I want!! Buy these!!

The light strip is incredibly bright, the colors are remarkable, and the versatility of the mounting is impressive. Overall, I don't think it is worth the full 90 bucks they charge for regular price. It should be about half that price, in my opinion.

I recently purchased and subsequently returned the new version of the Hue Lightstrip. The product is great, as are the other Hue products, but I just did not end up having a great place for the lightstrip. I did try it behind my television, but the look did not necessarily fit with our style for the room. Also, it is a little difficult to wrap the back of the tv using the 3m tape attached to the back of the strips...especially on the corners. If you have a dedicated movie room with a large entertainment center, the lightstrip along with a bloom on each side of the tv would really create the movie theater experience. I also did not have outlets in the necessary locations to try the strip as under bar lighting or I might have kept the strip. Overall, the new lightstrip is brighter than the previous version and another excellent hue product.
