    Love the light strip it adds a whole new immersive experience to movie, shows and gaming. However, it’s super expensive and the sync box is only 2.0 hdmi capable so I put it on my 4K Samsung in the bedroom.

    Makes every movie pop and extremely easy to install. One pointer is to purchase some heavy duty 3M tape to secure the guides and you will be just fine.

    This took my home theater to another level! Not only is my sound great but my atmosphere is stimulating also. The sync box is out of stock but when it's added it will take my home system up another notch.

    These lights are awesome. Didn’t think they would be worth it, especially because I already had a Phillips hue light strip, but they’re very bright and very colorful, adds a lot to the viewing experience.

    Just purchased this along with the other two required components (bridge and HDMI sync box) to have the lights match up to my games and movies. It looks absolutely spectacular on my 65” LG CX.

    I ordered a 65” light strip from Beach Camera through Best Buy but received a 55” version instead. When I reached out, the initial communication was confusing — they offered me a $10 refund to keep the wrong item, even though there’s about a $30 price difference between the two when I purchased. It also took several days at a time for them to respond, and as the days passed, I grew increasingly concerned about my refund deadline approaching with no clear resolution. I would have appreciated it if they had clarified from the start that they couldn’t process exchanges and could only issue refunds. That would’ve saved time and worry. To their credit, once I followed up repeatedly, they eventually sent a return label and confirmed I’d receive a full refund once the incorrect item was returned. Overall, I wish the process had been more transparent and timely, but I’m glad it’s finally being resolved.

    I received an ambient light kit for Christmas and it changed the way I watch TV. I upgraded, from the single color light strips that I received, to the gradient strip and it took it up several notches.

    This is awesome! A bit more expensive than it should be for what it is, but it does work consistently. Much better option that using multiple Hue Play Bars behind tv.

    These have been sold out for a while now. I have a 82" tv so I wanted the 75" Light-strip. Well the 65" came in stock, I installed about 7" in from the edge of the TV on the back side and I very happy with the effects I'm getting. I was worried it wouldn't be long enough but it is working just fine. You need the Hue sync play box. Now I don't want to watch TV without it. I have a total of 9 lights connected including this gradient to the entertainment system in my Living room and the effects are just awesome. Highly recommend.

    Best brand of smart lights. Bright and very responsive. I put these on the back of my 75 inches and they work fine. I have a regular Hue light strip that runs under my TV to make it look complete.

    Very easy to set up, and provides good gradient light. This is more expensive than the gradient light strip, I bought this because it was going around the edge of a 65 inch TV. The amounts that come with it are very worthwhile, and the length of the strip is perfect. It does recommend that you have two people to install it, I would recommend this but I did it by myself which was not a huge deal. It may have been a little bit nicer to install with another person since you would be able to have someone on both ends, but it is definitely doable by yourself.
