Philips - Hue Bluetooth Lightstrip Plus 80-inch Base Kit - White and Color Ambiance

I’ve used these Philips Hue Lightstrips in several areas; around the back of my headboard and as under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen. These lights work fantastically for both purposes. My only complaints are that sometimes the sticky backing that holds them in place wears out, so they peel off a little, but that’s not a huge problem. I wish they made a version that didn’t quite look as much like cheap rope lights, though. If you see the lights from below my cabinets, they look cheap. But from above it’s exactly what I was looking for! And if you connect them to a virtual assistant, turning the kitchen lights on when you have armfuls of groceries is super handy.

Great amount of brightness and color. The adhesive material could use some improvements. While remove the protective backing some of the adhesive came off as well.

Love the light strips. My only complaint is that the sticky tape is not very strong. It kept falling off the back of my TV, so I had to use additional tape other than the ones that came with hue. Also….it’s easier to put on the back of the TV before you mount the strip to the TV. I also put them on my headboard and had no problems.

With Bluetooth capability, you do not need a bridge and can control with an app on phone or tablet. Perfect for over a desk to add task lighting in additional to different modes available. Easy to install and perfect for the purpose. Price was a little steep but in the end worth the cost considering form and function.

Pretty cool light strip! Couple things I want to mention which make it 4/5 stars. It's been a few weeks since I've owned these lights and got to play around with them a bit. You can see each led bulb as a reflection, so I feel it doesn't blend the color as well as my other strip lights. I really like the hue app, simple and easy to use. The fact that you don't need a bridge or wifi is nice! However, there's been a few times where the lights are unresponsive and I've had to unplug and plug back in the outlet to get them to respond. Also, for the price I would of preferred the lights to be multicolor, but you can only light 1 solid color at a time. Other than that, these are great lights and if you were to add more Phillips hue lights to your home, it would be of ease. I think I will stick with my Lifx lights especially if they ever come back in stock, but you can't go wrong with Phillips Hue.

If you are already on the Hue eco system then it is a good to add to it. Can be used using Bluetooth also, but i am using with HUE bridge 2. This works flawlessly and pleasant especially during holiday season. But there are many similar(with limited functions) competitor products available for lot less. Evaluate them before you buy this.

Love the colors. Pricey but it is Bluetooth operated so no hub and no WiFi necessary was a plus for me

I can honestly say that at first glance I wasn't completely sold on whether or not this Philips Hue light strip would serve to address my particular need. I'm old school sneaker head from the 80's. If you know anything about the urban phenomenon that is the collection of sneakers they are important to us. Even I, one year short of my 60th birthday I continue to collect. I just finished purchasing clear containers so can put my latest acquisition of sneakers. But I noticed I was missing something. That something turned out to be proper lightning. Let the pics I took, do the rest of the talking for me.
