    The lightstrip is much dimmer than I was expecting it to be and after just a few days the lightstrip started to slowly flicker like I was turning it off and on once or twice and then right when I was 4 days out of the return policy it stopped working entirely.

    Arrived missing a mounting bracket. Customer service was no help. So much for, "Geek Squad® Certified Refurbished products being thoroughly, painstakingly and lovingly tested." I returned the light and reordered. Let's hope the new one is complete.

    As a product, I'm not sure. I was sold it but when they came to install it I was told it was not compatible, so they took it back.

    An Essential Hue Light

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Hue Play system is the realization of pretty much everything I hoped for when I first started to purchase Hue lights years ago. While I quite enjoyed my initial play setup using light bars, the gradient lightstrip really shines as the best way to synchronize lighting to media. It's an incredibly unique effect and can add a special level of immersion, especially when watching video with vibrant colors. I understand why Philips designed this to only wrap around the top and two sides of a TV, but I did opt to add a light bar below the set to provide color around the entire image. That may be unnecessary or even impossible in some setups. I occasionally still have issues with the box that operates the sync needing to be reset or, at its worst, temporarily interrupting the image being delivered to the TV, which can be quite annoying when playing a video game. The lightstrip itself, however, was easy to install and performs exactly as advertised, so it gets full marks from me.

    Great lights, bad adhesive

    Adds a lot to the television ambience. Love to change the colors on it using the Hue app to match whatever teams are playing sports during the games — the guests love it too! However, be warned: the adhesive backing on the guide things that help you affix this to your TV wear off after a few months and then you're stuck with re-sticking them over and over again. When it falls behind your TV you run the risk of it damaging itself by bending in a way that makes it upset, and then you get flickering lights (if you're not careful). I'd expect the adhesive to work better when you're paying upwards of $250 for addressable RGB lights!

    These lights really help with immersing yourself in whatever content you’re watching. I will never not have them again. Only issue is if you lose the power adapter replacements are hard to find

    Pretty expensive light strip but does add a cool new immersion when playing games or watching a movie. Biggest complaint is that the bottom part of the TV gets no coverage, so your left with having to get some play bars or an additional light strip to get that zone covered. For the price point, you’d expect the whole TV light zones to be covered.
