Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve had this light for a few months now and it is absolutely amazing and it really adds to my movie watching/video game playing experience! This is an absolute must have for any avid Hue user who has the Syncbox. Obviously, this light projects onto more area than the original light strip but it’s also much much brighter. It should be noted, it only covers the lengths of the top and sides of the tv, not the bottom. Don’t buy the size above the one recommended because the sections of colors will not accurately correspond to their location on the screen. The setup was insanely easy. Unboxing it, taking down my tv, applying the plastics clamps, putting the tv back up, and connecting it to the Bridge took a grand total of about 10 minutes... if that. This has a little more to do with the Syncbox itself but I love the amount of settings. You can set the brightness and the intensity of the lights (the amount they change or the frequency at which they transition). You have the options between video, music, and game. Video and game are obvious but music is great for when you’re playing music but with the screen off, it’ll sync to the rhythms. I can’t say enough good things about this light... though it is on the pricey side. That being said, if you’re a first time user of Hue, get your feet wet before you dive on in and commit as it’s a pricey endeavor. If you’ve used Hue long enough, try the Syncbox BEFORE you get the light just so you know you’re happy with it (there was about a six month period between the purchase of my box and my light). And lastly, if you do have the Syncbox, get the light strip, you won’t regret it!

Works very well with my Hue Sync Box and a couple Hue Play lights setup with the Hue Sync Box as well. I do wish the Hue Gradient was a bit more bright though. Also didn’t think about it when purchasing it, but the way it is designed, it doesn’t provide any backlighting on the bottom of the TV, which would be fine if it were on a stand, however, I have my TV wall mounted. I’ll probably just pickup another Hue Play light to shine under my TV to get the absolute full effect.

As with all Hue products, a super easy install that gets you set up in no time. The vibrant colors add immersion to anything on your TV. It is so great, this is my second TV gradient strip I’ve purchased!Couldn’t recommend Philips Hue products anymore.

This bad boy brought my dead tv entertainment area back from the grave. Like a phoenix it is reborn, with all it's Glory. Beware if you are going to buy this for yourself you will also need a Hue bridge which is the only way to access the light bar via phone app. You can change the color with that. The colors are awesome very bright and beautiful. But the light bar will only change to one solid color, you can't have multiple colors like a sunset effect of peach or pink on the top part and purple or blue on the sides. You will also need a Hue sync box, to get the color changing effects that project the colors of the tv. You can use a app on your computer that can be used as a alternative if you don't want to buy the sync box. But you have to watch the movies using your computer, than connect it via HDMI or whatever to your tv or monitor. This app is only compatible with the Hue Bridge 2.0 not the 1.0 And lastly the Hue sync box has 4 HDMI inputs and one output to your tv. You will have to use your blu ray, or gaming system, or HDMI fire stick to get the color changing sync effects. this light bar will not work on a smart tv. Repeat the apps on your tv will not get the color changing effects. The media or games has to be ran through the sync box than to your t.v. After all this that I didn't know to begin with I still love it it's pretty awesome. Fire pit screen savers are way better, or anything fire is pretty awesome as well as all everything else.

I previously had multiple Hue Play Bars mounted behind my tv with the Hue sync box, and while it worked well, replacing those with the Gradient Lightstrip was definitely an improvement. Installation was quick and easy (I didn't even have to unmount my television from the wall). I'm very happy with this

Love this with the sync box. Integrates with the other philips Hue lights. I was using just regular bulbs for the top sides and the “hue Play” for the bottom sides so 4 bulbs all together. This takes the place for the top of the TV fits a 75” TV perfect colors are bright and vibrant. Noe i use the “hue Play” light on the floor behind entertainment center as floor level shooting up. The 3 together works great. Just a bit pricey but easy to use and everything still on one app.

This is the second light strip of that I’ve purchased (bought a bigger TV). So with buying two, obviously I really enjoy it! Makes TV and movie watching amazing with the surround lighting. Very easy to set up. With the rest of the apps and devices it goes with, very easy to make work. These are constantly getting updates with more wars to use them. These will only get better!

Really nice lights but two minor things I wish it would go completely around the TV because my TV is on the wall and the the way it attaches to the TV but it bends around the TV but still looks good .Lots of different colors to choose from and the set up was very easy using the Phillips App .

Love this so far! Beautiful colors and very easy to use. Love my hue! I got it on sale so the price didn’t hurt as bad on this one.

I remember when the strips we’re thin little 3m tape flimsy stickies. this is so much better! what an upgrade!! It takes just a few minutes a little longer if you’re tv is a little larger as we had to take it down from the wall mount. But applying the mounts and sticking it on was effortless. So easy to do and the strips/lights are as vibrant as ever!

This was my second purchase of the gradient lightstrip. I have the 55 inch version and recently purchased a 65 inch tv, it was a no brainer to get the lights to go along with it. When used with the sync box it adds a whole new level of immersion to movies and games that cant be beat. Pricey but i definitelt recommend for the avid home theater enthusiasts

I am a bit of a Philips Hue nut. So as soon as this option became available to replace the three play bars I had mounted to the back of my TV, I jumped at it. Can't say enough of how easy to install and use the gradient strip. Being able to do more than one color is amazing and truly creates some amazing visuals. It's pricey but I don't regret it.

I was hesitant to buy into the Philips Hue ecosystem because they’re so expensive. But thanks to a discount code and rewards points it softened that blow and I couldn’t be happier with these lights. I’ve used cheap light strips in the past which are ok, but add these with some other Hue lights and it completely transforms your room.

Although pricey, This is the best Lightstrip I've tried in terms of quality and getting the most ambiance. Unfortunately the first one that was delivered to me had a faulty corner which made the one corner always have Green LED's. Luckily I bought it from Best Buy & they have wonderful customer service. They sent me the replacement first before I had to send the faulty one back.

So cool! Colored light surrounds your TV to match what you're watching. Really enhances my viewing experience. It's expensive since you also need the HDMI Sync box, but if you can afford it, it's totally worth it. One other downside is that it only works through HDMI, so it won't work with native smart TV functionality. I use the new Chromcast with Google TV.

Simple installation and setup with amazing results. Looks great behind the TV. It takes over for 7 play bars which saves you money. Hue sync box not required if streaming from a pc (free app). Don't forget a hue bridge though. Only con for me is the individual zones are not able to be manually changed yet. Rumor is we may get a software update to change that.

Oh yeah / pairing this up w a Hue Sync -- this brings out the immersion of movie watching. It is something else. There's a reason why these sell out so fast. The things I don't like about it is the price (its sort of expensive) and its designed for no zones to go on the bottom; which is perplexing. I guess they want us to shell out more for play bars or hue go units.

I really like the colors with the gradient lightstrip. It's an expensive solution when combined with the HDMI sync box but it works well with movies and music. It works best with a light colored wall behind as the colors will be less dynamic on a dark wall. Fortunately, I already planned to pain the room lighter.

It adds another dimension to watching movies. After using these for a while it doesn’t feel right watching anything with out them. They are too expensive and you have to be careful with the connection between the strip and the circuit board box, it is a little flimsy especially at the price. I have 2 strips, when I was moving one from one TV to another the circuit board box opened. I put it back together but the lights wouldn’t work after that. I tried to get a replacement box from Philips but they don’t sale that particular part. If you purchase make sure you get Best Buy protection because Philips is less then helpful

Such a fun addition to a nice home theater setup. Pricey but lots of longterm value for movies and games. Very cool. Very slight latency using the built-in Samsung app, worth the trade off to have the Hue app streaming straight from the TV w/o needing an additional HDMI box. That said, running through the HDMI box seems to reduce any latency and responsiveness of the lights
