Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got one for the living room and this thing is literally the star of the show. I have two light bars and this strip is a diva and wants all the attention and she gets it. Lights the whole area behind the tv beautifully and if you have the sync box you can make the lights dance with the colors on the tv. Highly recommended if your a fan of color like me.

Way easier setup that previous options. Much sturdier tubes. Although id reccomend going s size up for full coverage. The 55 inch doesnt fully cover the tv ( just the top and two sides) overall good light

I've had my eye on this product for the past year. I was really excited about the possibilities but my major concern was the price. After year of waiting for the price to drop and not seeing any significant change I decided to pick them up. I recently redesigned my entertainment area and figured I would splurge on the light kit and it was totally worth it. If you're into a really immersive TV watching experience the Philips hue light strip really adds to the viewing experience however I would first invest in a more expensive TV before I would spring for this kit. The built-in diffusion of the lights and it's independent color zones really look polished and premium. The installation is relatively simple but keep in mind that you may need additional space behind the TV if your TV is flush mounted. If you're looking for a real wow factor for your entertainment area this is it.

The lights are a natural, next step in adding to your viewing experience. They can be subtle or enveloping depending on how you integrate them. Makes your screen size seem larger and immerses you in what you’re watching. You need to have the Hue Sync box to really show them off.

Purchase these lights and the sync box. I have a similar setup with another company and this one looks a lot smoother. It also supports 4k and has multiple hdmi port's to add other stuff. If you have any other hue lights this is a great addition you have the ability to sync everything together. The reason why im giving it 4 star's is because with the price you paid for these lights they could have covered the entire tv and not just the sides and top. Its also not that easy to install if your TV is already mounted on the wall. I really wish they would cover the bottom of the tv

it open up a whole new level of immersion. Even if your are not using a sync box you can set it to soft or natural white light in the background when watching movies. it reduce eye stain and make movie watching more fun. build quality is solid. I been using it for almost 7 months without any issues. the app is very responsive and you almost have unlimited choices of colors. even if your are not watching TV, you can turn the light on with your computer app and sync it to the music. the light change and response to every beat of the music and creates a very enjoyable atmosphere. when ever I have friends over they all love the lights.

impressive leap in home lighting technology, combining the signature versatility and connectivity of Philips Hue with a visually stunning, immersive lighting experience. This product is designed to enhance your entertainment space by synchronizing dynamic, multi-colored lighting with your TV screen, creating a full-on ambient experience that complements movies, games, and music in ways traditional lighting simply cannot match. Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of the Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip:

Keep it simple. Is this product expensive? Absolutely. Does this product work? Absolutely. Is it worth YOUR money? Only you can answer that. But as far as rating this product based off what it’s supposed to do, it’s 5 star minimal. I’d give it 10 stars if there was an option.

Works great with our lg c5 77in. Very easy to install on tv and with app. The colors are absolutely stunning compared to our previous hue light strips. Would hoghly recommend. Bought on sale so it was an even better buy.

Let's start with the obvious: This thing is expensive. Is it worth the price though? That's really up to you. If you are going to sync this with your computer or your TV (using the Sync box, which is sold separately), then I would say it absolutely is. I've watched a few movies with the lights synced and it definitely makes them feel more dynamic. Some people will say it's distracting, but if you won't pick the most extreme settings then it's generally nice and subtle.

I have had Hue lights for while and I love them. I love that I can sync not only colors from a movie but the beat from music/movies it's amazing. I can always set the scene for parties or relaxation. Possibilities are endless.

It’s very nicely package when you receive it very easy to set up. Although the strips for the size of the tv isn’t much. I put the 75inch light strip on my 75 inch tv and it only managed to cover half my tv, mostly the top and a bit on the sides. I did expect it to go all the way around but it doesn’t cover the bottom. I also think for the price I wish I would have waited only because they are coming out with many more affordable fairly priced light strips that do the same and sync to the tv color imagines. Other then that for the most part they work very nicely with an exception of adding more lights towards the bottom.

Awesome experience to add to our TV, gaming and other video experiences. Music is nice but not coordinated in the same manner as video. we use this with the Phillips Hue Play Sync which is the way to go, Setting that up is tricky and took some experimentation, but we have it working with 4 devices routed through it to the TV. That would be another review though! the color rendition is exceptional and goes from brilliant to nuanced and moody. Wonderful, easy to install.

If you are bought into the Philips Hue lighting system and want to enhance you TV viewing, this lightstrip is great! Works better than the Hue Play system for you TV since it basically has 7 zones. Make sure you get the right size for your TV, I can see getting the incorrect size will cause the zones to be slightly shifted. It requires a Hue Sync box or the PC software to work so there is the additional cost for that, and as with all the Hue products it is a bit pricey.

The finishing touch to a great movie experience. Paired with the Hue Hub, Hue Sync Box & 3 Hue Play Bars it’s definitely on the expensive $$ side but after paying a few thousand for my LG C1 77Oled .. why not. My only complaint is that it doesn’t cover the bottom of the TV, so you have to buy the Hue play bars to to fill in the bottom. At least 3 Hue Play Bars for a 77” but 4 can fit. Other than that my movies and games are more immersive.

The backlight on the TV makes a huge difference in the experience. I highly recommend this product.

This is a must for any Philips Hue user. The unit itself blends seamlessly into the back of the tv. The ambient light is great, but prepare to be amazed once you start syncing the gradient with the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box! Setup is easy and color accuracy is amazingly on point with images on your screen. Makes movies and music videos a truly immersive experience. The music function turns any home into the ultimate party house as a bonus. Must buy!

Bright lights that look great behind my tv. Perfect for a 75” or larger tv.

I was so excited when i saw this in store at Best Buy. And for the 5-6 days it stayed attached to the TV, it was great. Love the ambience it adds (although I’m not sure it really works better than the standalone Hue lights I already had behind the TV. But the adhesive is simply not strong enough to hold the strip in place around the back of the TV against the force being exerted by the bent light strip that does not want to be held in a frame position. I was on a Teams meeting earlier today when i heard a loud snap and discovered all four of the corner adhesive “holders” had snapped off (presumably one started it and pulled the others along). To be fair the TV back is not entirely smooth - it’s a 65” Sony Bravia with a criss cross plastic back so you’re losing just a little bit of surface area for adhesion where the pattern is. But there’s no workaround for this. I was also surprised that the strip is just slightly too large for a 65” TV - the ends of the strips were hanging down at the bottom of the TV. I’m going to have to take this back to Best Buy and see if i can get any kind of refund without the original packaging that went into recycling a week or so ago. This wasn’t ready for market - a rare miss for Hue with me.

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!
