    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Looks great behind the tv but all I can use it for is a light right now because I will not be buying the tv sync box until it supports HDMI 2.1 or eARC for light sync because I do 4k 120hz on my xbox where I watch movies from so it only supporting 2.0 is a deal breaker and it is ungodly expensive for just a addressable RGB strip and all of hue power strips should have this gradient and be addressable
