Another Philips Hue homerun!

I started with a single Hue light around Christmas and now have 29. These things are addictive. It’s also very true when they say Philips Hue is built to last. The quality and app alone are just more premium and the color accuracy across different lamps is unmatched. It all just works. And extra points for seamless HomeKit integration !

These headphones are the best pair I've ever owned. I bought them refurbished and the came pretty much brand new. It came with the original box and they are awesome. Definitely get.

Besides the box being a little ruffed up the item seemed just like new. Adhesive was still intact and it works perfectly. Love these Hue lightstrips, used them to replace the terrible CFL lights I had in my kitchen vent hood.

Bought this to go around the bottom of the couch. Looks great and the light is not obtrusive at all. You’ll need a sync box if you want it to change its colors to match the TV. If you’re creating a full setup you’ll need it.

Worked as new one would. The strip had some missing sticky back cover but not surprised and works as expected.

I had to purchase this to complete my Hue lights system. However, it’s difficult to recommmend due to how expensive it is when alternatives are much cheaper and works just as well.
It actually stopped working after a short period of time. Terrible for the price.

Geek squad refurbished quality issues

Buyer beware for Geek Squad refurbished. I ordered 4 sets of these as the price was 50% off. Two sets were “like new”. The other two were obviously used and just put back into the box. On both sets the lights were cut, pieces missing, and one of the mounting pieces had some drywall still on it from where it was obviously ripped from the previous customers wall. Tape from the backside of the lights on both sets was also used. So I’ll keep the two good sets and return non-refurbished sets. Still saved 50% off the regular price but I doubt I’ll ever go with another Geek Squad refurbished item again.

Return window on refurb items isn't long enough

Worked for a few weeks, then LEDs on one third of the strip stopped working, 9 days outside of the return period. This probably wasn't refurbished, instead a Geek Squad tech probably plugged it in, saw that it worked, and resold a broken item.

So I tried budget version of lightstrip, which at first was pretty amazed by, but then issues started after few days of owning it, then stopped working and I nearly got electrocuted. I decided to buy Philips lightstrip since I have plenty of Hue products at home and I’m very happy with them. This lightstrip is absolutely amazing and gets super bright, if I knew how amazing this product is, then maybe I could saved what I spent on the budget one I discarded.

Quality product, subpar refurb from Geek Squad

We have an array of Philips Hue products throughout our smart home and we love them all. The HUE Lightstrip product from Philips is one of my favorites out of all the products, so I jumped at the chance to get a discounted refurbished base kit to add ambient lights to my home office. Unfortunately, this unit was not fully refurbished and the first .5M of strip only activates the white LEDs no matter which color we send to the strip. The remaining 1.5M of strip functions appropriately, but it's super annoying that the first segment only displays (glaring) white. For the price, I'll deal with it... but was super disappointed (and surprised) that the Geek Squad refurbishing was better. I've purchased many other refurbished products form Best Buy and this was the first time that it wasn't fully fixed.

Solid Hue integrated LED strip

This refurbished unit came with all original accessories. Compared to some other brands of LED strips, there is an extremely durable rubberized cover over the LEDs, so it's on the bulkier side. It makes for a nice surface that's easy to wipe or clean, but it also makes it extremely difficult to use at a 90 degree bend.

Great for color, NOT meant as a main light source

These lights work exactly as advertised: they sync with the hue app seamlessly, they can output a full range of colors, the adhesive sticks well, and the build quality is great.
However, please note that these lights are NOT bright enough to be the main light source in any area. I bought this strip for a room with only one small window because I wanted brighter, natural-feeling light that shifts temperature throughout the day, but I didn’t want to waste floor space on a lamp (I use the room as an office and gym, so it’s nice to avoid having stuff I can bump into while lifting). Unfortunately the amount of light they cast is negligible with even a single standard lightbulb on in the room.
This is a great purchase if you want to sync colored light with media or you’re looking to cast colored light in a display case or under/behind furniture, and the refurbished price is amazing when it goes on sale, but don’t buy this to actually light a room.

Works well. If you plan on using the splicing clips, they are a little touchy, but overall the lighting is easy to set up and they are bright

Great quality product, though since it's refurbished I was expecting some things to be missing, and I was correct. Out of the two of these I purchased, one was missing the adhesive strips on the back of the light strip. It's easy enough to replace it, but the fact that it affects functionality of the item out of the box is a bit annoying

Great for ambient floor lighting.

Does an excellent job at providing ambient floor lighting which is how I have it set up currently. Great for a nightlight under furniture and below cabinets. Downside, the plug on this unit is extremely temperamental and will easily disconnect from the transformer. If in an area that has constant traffic, it will likely be an issue. However if the cord is located in an area will little to no interference, then this unit is perfect for you.
