    I bought these to go along with the Philips light strip around my tv, and I'm so happy I did. They complete the look. Easy to install.

    I like them, but wish I had bought bigger ones. I didn't know I needed the Bridge when I ordered and had to wait to use them until I ordered the Bridge. Works great now.

    These lights are so much fun and are very easy to set up and control with the hue app. They pair great with the HDMI sync box for your TV or just around the house.

    Bias Lights

    Using as bias lighting for my computer monitors. Using the sync software available on PC makes these pretty legit. A little pricey at 150 (normal MSRP), I feel they aren't quite worth that. I'd try to wait for a sale or coupon.

    Greeting lighting. I place one on each side of my TV and control it with the HUE app and it looks great. Definitely would recommend this if you want something different from the light strips.

    I love these LED bars - put them behind my TV to project onto the wall and it adds a great ambiance. They're not as bright as the regular color bulbs, but are perfect for backlights on TVs, monitors, etc.

    This is my second set. They work great for a small room or an addition to a large set setup. They are super bright and also very colorful, much more so than the regular hue bulbs.

    So I these to splash some light after hearing it could sync to what’s on your tv screen. Problem is it only works directly from a computer (not Xbox or Apple TV) so was mostly useless. There are other cheaper hue lights that are better.

    These work well for what they do. I did replace these with a gradient strip and like the strip better. But still, these are great am ianxe lights.
