    I placed both of these light bars behind my television. I love how I can create two colors simultaneously while I watch television. Great to help create seats for my room.

    Yeah, the sync box isn't there yet, and these products are grossly-overpriced, but the ambience can't be matched. Grab them on Black Friday for a better deal.

    Philips Hue Play Bar Lights - A MUST HAVE!

    These are fantastic when connected the the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box (sold separately). With the Sync Box, these light bars will shine colors on your wall or where ever you place them to match the colors of the show you are watching on the TV. It really enhances the experience of our home theater! These can also be used without the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box and you can manually control the lights or set them on a schedule but they will not mimic what is on the TV. Still a fun experience tho. I gave 4 stars because there are multiple Philip Hue apps and it's hard to know the best way to use these lights among the apps. For manual color setup, you would use the Hue app. If you use the Sync Box, you would use the Hue app and the Hue Sync app. It seems like they should combine all of their apps into one for seamless use.

    I love having these lights mounted behind my TV. They work great, but I won't go to 5 stars because of two shortcomings. 1) the adhesive used to stick the mount to your TV isn't super strong and it's not clear how to replace. 2) this is more the fault of an accessory, but one of the big selling points on these is the ability to connect to the PLAY HDMI Sync box that will adjust these lights in real time based on what's playing on the screen. However that box only works with externally connected devices (cable box, Apple TV, Roku, etc). It DOES NOT work if you have a smart TV that has native apps for streaming. So I am stuck choosing between the convenience of native apps or re-introducing a bunch of external devices to get the full functionality of these Play lights.

    Thse lights worked as intended. Setup was easy, the app can be a bit confusing though. They have multiple apps that all perform similar functions. Purchassed w/ Sync Box, which did not work so I couldnt see all that these were capable of.

    It’s very easy to set up and use. But the sales person make me believe I can plug it in behind the TV and it will run on and off with the TV. That’s not true and also it’s not that bright at all.

    I have to say this is by far the best LED back light I purchased for our TV. It comes with sturdy mounts and very easy to install, and the plus side they’re smart lights!
