Philips - Hue Lightstrip Plus Dimmable LED Smart Light - Multicolor

I really like these lights!! I have the starter strip and an extension. I ran them up underneath my bar. 2 aspects of these lights that could be improved... The adhesive on the back - the strip is rolled and boxed for shipping. There is a protective peel-off paper to protect the adhesive. This peel off is cut into smaller strips (presumably to make it easier to roll). On my light strip, several of those peel off strips had separated from the adhesive coating, causing the adhesive to be less secure in many spots. Nothing a few thumbtacks couldn't fix for me, but tacks might not be a good solution for everyone... Perhaps roll the adhesive separately and let the consumer apply it themselves. Seems 3M has a double-sided adhesive strip. Also, the power cord is fairly long. I didn't need it so long, so I have a big loop of the excess cord hanging visible below my bar. I don't know if there's really any answer to that 'problem'. I guess I could get creative with a staple gun up underneath the bar... Oh, and of course, as they are applied with an adhesive backing - once they're in place you can't really adjust or reposition them, so you might take a little more time than I did figuring out what you're going to do with them before you just stick them up... Hey! I was excited!! :-) But overall, the enjoyment I'm getting from these lights far outweighs those minor annoyances. I'm going to get more!!

I decided to create a game room with a ton of LED lights. I wanted high quality and high color output from the lights and hands down Philip Hue was the way to go. 1. Crisp colors 2. Dimmable lights 3. Easy install 4. Easy control 5. Multitudes of colors to cycle through 6. Fantastic brightness with all colors. 7. Easy to use Philip Hue app. 8. Excellent quality 9. Excellent adhesive on back and stays where a person puts them. 10. Easily controlled by smart assistants. Love that feature. All around a great product to purchase to do a wide array of projects in the house. But, without a doubt Philip Hue lights are the way to go for all the quality and the best color output. Can’t go wrong with them. Check out my pictures of what I did with my Philip Hue lights in my game room and I’m not near finished with it yet.

I’ve been adding to my hue bulb collection for a couple of years. My latest project was to add strips inside my cabinets. They turned out great and I appreciate all the color options, including the many “whites”. For everyday I use a warm white, for holidays I pick colors. I do wish Phillips would sell adapters to connect pieces you cut off of one strand to add to another strand. The places to cut are 12” apart, which caused me to have to be creative in one cabinet, but they turned out great.

This is my fifth light strip and I love them! Got this for my TV in the living room after we put up new stone over the fireplace. It’s perfect! I know one reviewer said it’s hard to get it attached to the TV because they don’t bend well but if you just twist it and don’t attach it where you’re bending the strip it works perfectly fine. We were going to get the extension to go behind the whole TV but I kind of like it not around the whole thing (we have it basically as a U with the top of the TV not covered, but I like it this way as it’s kind of subtle and not overwhelming)

I purchased these for over-cabinet accenting, I liked the fact that they can be controlled by wireless via the app, set with routines and scenes. The flexibility of colors is extensive and you can change each as you wish either by pre-programmed scenes or manually with the color palette. This came as a buy 2, get a free bridge offer, and definitely needs to have one. The bridge is a mini hub that sits off an ethernet port (make sure you have one available!) preferably near the lighting area for coverage. When setting up you can specify name/room and which scenes each light belong to (in my case this is simple, but add-ons can all have their place and function, like exteriors). The lights themselves come as a roll with back side tape (I didn't use since they are laying on the cabinets as shown in photo), and are best suited for linear runs, as they do not have a lot of lateral movement. They can be trimmed down and/or added to quite easily. The one glitch I've seen is that for some reason the lights don't always turn on manually after they have run through a routine on a timer. It can be worked around by changing the scene, but I'm not sure of the reason. Setup does take quite a while as it downloads and installs to each strip separately. Overall a good product with customization options.

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!!

This is a no brainier if you have the Philips Hue system already. I put this light strip in between my bed and the wall and it added a really nice effect to my bedroom with all the different colors it can produce. It has adhesive all along the bottom of it making it easy to install. These can also be linked together to cover longer lengths or cut down for a custom application. I'm buying a bunch of these for my house!
