    I’m giving these lights 2 stars for the quality they are beautiful very bright and have every color imaginable . Cons they are expensive and not easy to use on their own they don’t work you need to buy an additional hue bridge to control them and if you want to sync them with your media you need to buy the hue sync. After spending more than 500 I was disappointed that you can’t sync directly with your tv you have to sync them though a streaming device most of us use our smart tv now days so it’s seriously outdated technology . I will wait to see what improvements new models hace and maybe purchase those .

    Honestly this thing is the light strip we deserve. I have been waiting for this for so long. A few other companies have tried this but im so pleased with this purchase. Installation was effortless and easy to set up as well. The 7 different zones is plenty of area to light up. I recommend this to anyone with the Philip's Hue Play Box. Buy this and enjoy everything about it.

    Stay away from those cheaper TV lights! This is the big leagues of ambiance and far exceeded my expectations. Just bought more Phillips Hue products. Simply amazing product.

    Phillips Hue Fails to Disappoint

    Purchased as a gift for my Phillips Hue obsessed partner. It worked great, but he ended up returning it as his setup with the older lightstrips, bulbs, and play bars already look great (he didn’t want to buy another sync box to hook this up with another TV in the house). He exchanged for the Phillips Hue outdoor spotlights.

    I cant stop using them even if the TV is off i still use it i love how bright it is and the color it puts off. It is a bit over priced but most of the Hues stuff is over priced but its kinda worth it

    These lights are amazing! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to make their home theater (or just simply tv) more immersive. I also recommend to measure twice and place once, as it becomes a challenge trying to remove the 3M double sided tape that comes attached to the prongs. But overall, an amazing product and has worked beautifully!

    Adds awesome ambience to any lighting setup. Need to use it with a Hue Sync box and a hue hub. A little pricey but works great and wows all my friends that see it. Wish it had lighting at the bottom of the TV but I supplement that with a Play Bar for full coverage.

    great product, I have one on all 3 of my televisions, love the prism and fireplace fx and when paired with the Sync Box it’s awesome and immersive. But God forbid it stays attached to the back of the television, pops off constantly, i’m about to try gorilla super glue wish me luck. And holy cow are the power cord connection fragile, look at it wrong and it breaks. Love Best Buy for letting me swap out for a new one at no extra cost a year and a half later because of this second problem. I would still buy this product again, and obviously have already twice since the first despite those 2 glaring issues of which Philips Hue dept. have ignored.

    Great light strip. The color is bright and really goes with whatever you’re watching on tv. I put this on an 86 inch tv and it works and looks great. No need to add additional lighting.

    The light strips are great and work great when used with the HDMI Sync Box. That being said, I'm not sure the whole setup is worth the price for what it adds to your at home viewing experience. I think it's a little overpriced and doesn't add as much to that experience as I would have hoped. I don't think this is for everyone, especially given the high price.

    Great Lights, a must buy for any avid entertainer. You can buy them separately, but to get the most use out of them I recommend purchasing the Phillips Hue Sync Box. Also, measure the back of the TV first, the light strip come in different sizes, don't go by your screen size alone. I have a curve TV and I could have gone with a larger size.

    This is a nice addition to the living room. I have the gradient strip connected to my hue app and it works great with the HDMI Sync Box. It adds a unique feeling of immersion when watching movies or playing games. Even without the sync features, this is a great light to add great ambience to your wall.

    gradient is PERFECT! Only thing sucks is that it only works with 3rd part apps. Like through fire sticks/cube/TV. That’s the only reason for it not earning the last star.. but besides that.. I use it everyday!!!!!!! Makes the room set the mood.. either it’s party, movies, or music videos.. I got many ppl trying to have the same set up!! I LOVE IT!! Thanks for making it Philip Hue

    great light, poor power cable

    Really great light, though does not cover bottom of TV and also has poor connections. Fairly bright with vibrant coloring, power plugin isn't solid. I had to return my original for a second because if the power cable was not positioned and moved at all, the power to the strip would flicker. On the 2nd purchase, it still has that issue, but not as bad.

    Expensive but worth it . Sticky pads that come with dont hold the weight of the LED strip so you have to use other means but works well and we love it . I wish they mad a kit for 85 inch but it doesnt go around the whole tv so you have to buy the Bars to make it work around the whole tv.

    I paired this with my Hue Sync Box and my other Hue lights. It fits perfectly (with a bit of modification) on my 55” Sony A80K OLED TV. It works so well. The entire experience is so much more immersive after adding this to the setup. Highly recommend

    Really impressed with these thus far. Still early on in the process so cannot speak to longevity but so far, so good. Easy to install (85" tv), easy to connect, and was a breeze getting it synced to my bridge and sync box. Will definitely be adding more of the Philips Hue tech to my system.
