    Worth Every Penny

    Hue is expensive. This is one of the most expensive items they sell. If you have a sync box it’s worth every penny because it’s about 7-8 lights built into 1. I was not impressed by the sync box because I thought it was just distracting during movies when I had my normal bulbs linked up to it. This has changed that and created a new immersive experience in my home theater. 100% buy if you are into Hue lights and have the sync box.

    I was lucky when the total member price dropped and decided to try it out on diner tv we had set up, and since then it has been great for the family. Have had it for at least a year now with no issues.

    Love the added experience while watching movies etc, replaced 6 Hue play lights with this which is better. Make sure you put the light strip on the correct way round, my first movie the sunrise on the right side of the screen caused the brighter section of the light strip to appear on the lef. This was easily rectified as I just unclipped the light strip from the stick on brackets and turned it round, took around 5 minutes.

    Let me start out by saying that having all these Hue lighting syncing to my tv sound like a cool idea but thats all it is, a cool idea. This light strip works and syncs very well. You must have the sync box in order to get the colorful effect. This strip can be used without the sync box but you can not the rainbow color effect, it will only be whatever one color at one time. The downside is that there was a price increase after it was sold out for weeks if not months.

    Wow! This light strip is absolutely amazing! The lighting is incredible! The only thing that I don’t like about it is you can only use it with an external device. I primarily use the apps that are built into my Samsung TV and now if I want to use the light strip I am forced to use my Amazon fire stick. Considering the full cost of everything needed you should be able to use internal apps on your TV as well.

    All i can say that its magic. It transcends your experience that only can be witnessed and told. I cant get enough of it. Only downside… i wish it wouod wrap around the TV on all four sides instead of 3. You have this darkness that sits at the bottom of the tv that can only be filled additional lighting but it wont be the gradient lighting.

    Phillips really set this up to work pretty flawlessly…. given you have a stron wifi router. After these were added to our tv, it really enhanced movie night and pretty much every game on the PS5.

    My wife wanted this and I was on the fence about it. I was wrong. This makes the new TV so much cooler, it adds to the immersion sensation when watching shows and movies. Plus it gets you in to the Philips Hue ecosystem which is pretty neat. Takes some setup to get it configured, but after it is set it works flawlessly, so cool. If you want to up your home theater game, get it.

    I love how accurate they are! Super easy and simple set up, only negative thing I found was that the connector for the lights is very small and very flimsy and will bend the terminals if not careful. But other thank that absolutely perfect

    Upgraded to this from some play lights. The light is much better. It fills the whole space behind the tv with no gaps. Mounts with 3m strips on brackets. The strip is separate from the mounts. Works great with the hdmi sync box. You can not control the gradient of the strip though. The hue app treats it as one light and you can only set it to one color. If you use it with the sync box you can get multiple colors out of it.

    Ok, as they work fine & attach better than the other type but preferred the fact that the other type went all the way around the tv. Also you should know there’s a serious problem no one can fix -including Amazon - linking Alexa with Hue for verbal commands like my older one did. Try working with Hue & Amazon tech - good luck!! Clueless & each rep has a different solution…if you get them to call back.

    Love this product, my only grip is that it only covers 3 sides of the TV essentially forcing you to buy another light for the bottom.
