    I was super excited after buying but product for the holidays and its extremely misleading. 1) If you don't own anything Hue Philips and don't already have a Hue Bridge you can even turn the stupid things off without unplugging it. 2) In order to connect it to you TV you need to spend an additional $300 for yet another Hub type device! Yeah, This is a load of crap and I'll be returning this for sure!

    I returned the hue lights bar for the gradient light strip instead. I think the hue bar has its place, but the light just works better.

    This was in not “excellent condition “ as described in the open box items. It looks VERY used and is missing the four screws needed to mount the bars. Very deceitful advertising, I will be returning.

    Works well just like other hue products. Good brightness for accent lighting. I just wish the cables were longer

    These lights are okay but they are a little awkward to place in a room. The cords are hard to hide. I noticed that they click after you turn them off. Other than that they work great.

    Phillip Hue Play disappointed/ expensive

    Good idea not as useful as one would think they didn’t mention the additional $50 bridge needed to make this work. Could be great if they added some more features such as auto on/ off on night lights . Way to expensive don’t recommend at all . Also if you want this to interact with Movies you need to get an HDMI bridge $250.00 and for that reason I’m out !! Product retuned

    Setup went okay. But then when we went to use it found that music or movie or whatever needs to go through a computer running their program and weren't set up for that

    Not bad, but could have been better as a set of 3.

    This kit was great to expand my house hue setup and use these behind my entertainment center but it would have been nice to just buy a set of 3 since the power adapter supports it anyway. Color mixing is pretty good on them.

    I bought these to have something to light up behind my TV. This works perfectly. I wish there was an app to download on my smart TV to get the lights to work w/ TV shows but, I assume that will come at a later date once more people buy these. The only way to get it to work is hooking up your laptop via HDMI just to get the background lighting to sync with whatever you're watching. Otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars. I own a house full of Hue bulbs and light strips. They work flawlessly and work w/ Amazon Echo. Can't go wrong. Pricey? Yes! I just wait for a sale or coupon code to pop up in my email. Cheers!

    Super lame, cheap construction. Needs a $250 add on to get full potential. You can buy the same quality stuff at the 5 and dime lol. It would be ok for $20-30. But $170 is stupid. A $20 light strip behind the tv is about as good. Don’t wast the money.

    DONT be fooled by this box or the text (and best buy staff HAVE NO IDEA) but if you want this to correctly work and sync with your TV you need a 225$ hub.. its ridiculous so save your money and dont buy it.

    The lights are good they work great, love they work independently from each other, and that they can be connected using the Xbox app on the computer and have ambient light for the games played on the Xbox.

    This isn't as compatible or easy as it should be. Doesn't work with just the TV alone, depends on another device to be used, so if planning to use apps from TV, won't work.

    The lights were bright and nice looking, however they kept dropping the chroma synchronization with my razer products. Decided it wasn't worth it.
