Customer Ratings & Reviews

I previously used a standard Philips Hue light strip behind my TV and was initially hesitant to upgrade to the Gradient Lightstrip due to the higher price. But after installing it, I was instantly impressed — the difference is night and day. Watching TV and movies now feels far more immersive, with the dynamic color transitions adding a whole new level of atmosphere. Even when the TV is off, setting a lighting scene transforms the room with smooth, flowing colors. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend making the switch — it’s absolutely worth it!

Installed the these lights (w/ sync box) to my 65” Samsung (1080p) TV. This upgrade has been the biggest “wow” factor added to the home theater which also includes videophile caliber Blu-ray player (Oppo) and 5.1 surround sound. The “surround” lighting provides an extra level of immersion to your shows, movies, sports & video games (commercials are even awesome to watch!!). You will get spoiled really quick once your eyes get used to these lights. It’s always tough going up to the bedroom TV after watching a movie or show with these…. Almost hard on your eyes not having the ambient lightning. We have demo’d these to a few of our house guests since purchase and they are all awestruck never even aware something like this ever existed. The sync box works flawlessly. I haven’t experienced any lag or other hiccups from the video signal pass thru since installation. The mounts for the lights were easy to put on and as long as you clean the back of the TV with alcohol wipes you shouldn’t have any issues with them sticking to the surface. Getting the bridge & sync box communicating with one another is just a matter of downloading a couple apps to your phone and entering in your WiFi password. This is not a cheap upgrade, but once you take the plunge and see the result, I don’t see anyone having a regret of purchase. 5 star upgrade! I can’t recommend highly enough!!

I bought the LG G5 and paired it with these lights and the other Philips products you need also like Philips sync box and Philips bridge. You need the others to really have it react to your TV or gameplay. If you buy just lights then it’ll be set color or “moods” you set on phone.

This purchase was one of my best and worst decision at the same time. I don’t regret buying it, mind you, it’s just that I’m now addicted and buying other lighting bulbs/fixtures that I don’t need! Can’t watch movies the old way again. I took a star off due to the price - over $500 for the setup to sync with your tv. My photos shows 2 play bars to highlight the bottom of the screen.

Bought this to go behind my 65” OLED TV, and man - it works great! I bought it used - excellent condition, and the only complaint is that some of the adhesive was already used, but it was easy to just buy some cheap 3M adhesive foam to replace the factory Philips stuff. One recommendation to have this working perfectly: I highly recommend installing your Hue Bridge as close as possible to your “Hue Play Entertainment Area” it makes a colossal difference.

I upgraded my two Hue Play bars for the 65" gradient strip and have been pleasantly surprised so far. It definitely gives off more light and more accurate to what's on-screen when synced with the Hue Play. My only complaint is the light strip seems fragile considering theres about a 4"-5" section where the lights are discolored. I'm not sure if this was a defect or this section bent while mounting behind my tv, but it's a minor complaint that doesn't effect the overall quality of the lights.

I love how you can adjust the brightness the intensity and even the modes with Phillips hue system I now have Phillips hue in throughout the house and it all works seamless

The backlighting on these LEDs is better than anything I’ve seen, and the best part is that, unlike other brands, when used to tether with the Phillips sync box, it doesn’t need a camera attached to the television to sync its lights with the action on the screen. This definitely enhances our viewing experience.

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 love the lighting and the setup was easy as plug and play

My partner loves them, I love them, they make movie night so special and cinematic!

This thing is game changing. I already had two Play Bars and the Play Box, so adding 7 extra zones of color for this price was a no brainer. Took some fiddling around with the controls to get the lights to turn on and off with my TV (best way is a USB cable to connect the Play Box to your TV). I seriously with my OLED more than I do going to the theater, which you can't really do these days anyway.

It changed my tv watching experience specifically when I play games.

Love it. Makes gaming, sports and everything souch lore immersive. It does not light up the bottom of your tv. Dont buy longer thinking it will work. Very cool not to see the light itself. Does not distract like light bars. Highly recommend.

Best lights. Fastening to the tv is easy and secure. You do not have to have the sync box to get quality lighting behind the TV. We enjoy the lighting options on the Philips hue app.

Amazing feeling of watching with these lights. Such a great purchase. Lights up the room with Amazing scenarios of what u are watching

Purchased this with the Play and Sync and cannot say how delighted I am. The effects just add to whatever I am watching. Movies, Sports, dramas or local news, The colors are automatic, I just choose how bright I want. Could easily turn off if desired (but why?) Like all Hue products, a little pricey but I feel it was worth the investment.

Installation was super easy! Lights are very vibrant!

Talk about an immersive experience! This was absolutely a game-changer. It was almost too much to take in on the first day!

This is seriously the coolest looking thing in my house. Bought the sync box too so the colors coordinate with whats on the tv. Try watching a star wars movie and see how cool the effects are, you will be so impressed. Love love love
