Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought these lights for backlighting to my TV. They're a little on the expensive side for lights, but they're versatile both in mounting options and custom lighting control. In the short time I've owned them I have already used them to brighten the room in the evening, effective backlighting while watching movies, and as nightlights. I already owned a number of Hue lightbulbs and the hub. I trust Hue's quality from my prior experience. I'm starting to dabble in present configurations and custom routines through my Alexa devices which I'm certain will only increase my feelings of contentment. Over time I plan to add additional lighting options throughout the house and they'll all be Hues.

I've read for years about how bias lighting can make your tv look better and reduce strain on eyes but never pulled the plug on buying a light strip to stick to the back of the tv or placing a lamp behind it. I believe these are really expensive for what they are and I'm not sure the quality matches the price (it's just plastic with a slight rubbery back). Since I got Hue lights for my daughters room though I wanted one lighting system and liked the flexibility of these lights. They come with a couple mounting brackets so you can mount them in different ways or just lay them on a table. I currently have them on shelves next to my tv pointing behind it so they aren't mounted directly to my OLED tv. They both create a nice diffused lighting effect behind the tv that really has made a difference. I find myself turning them on anytime I use the TV now, especially in a pitch dark room. I also enjoy being able to leave those lights on when I'm done watching tv or playing a game and leaving the room and telling Siri to turn them off once I've left the room. While I question the price and how cheap the plastic feels, I would buy these again and do recommend them if you already have Hue lights.

I bought the phillips hue play bars for back lighting my TV. They were easy to set up and ease the eyes when watching movies in a dark setting. They are also fun to use when gaming. I hope to pick up the Sync box soon.

These light bars are perfect for illuminating areas behind computer monitors or even TVs on a stand, synced with Phillips HUE Sync they work seamlessly with whatever you are watching or playing at the time. Highly recommend.

Great addition to any Hue light family! I purchased these to create a better ambiance for watching movies and it has definitely accomplished this. The Hue app is jam packed with cool features and free settings to help you out, and that are easy to use. For instance, if I’m feeling extra and have friends over and we are getting ready to start the movie, I’ll flash the “house lights” and then we are off. **The lights do not sync well unless the movie is being played off the computer or using a camera app from a phone. If you would like the lights to balance and blend with the movies colors, please be aware of this. ***As of writing this review vs. purchase date, Hue is rolling out an HDMI switch to aid in the cohesion of the light sync.

I love Phillip hue and especially this Hue Play. Although a little bit expensive, this is an excellent product and you will not regret the purchase. Perfect for night viewing, adding color and ambiance.

It’s so amazing like everything about it the colors effect just outstanding it’s pricey but. When you just play with it you grow to love it and all the colors it have especially movies night:

They are great! I haven’t had an issue and the ease to use on the app is awesome. Only issue I have is when they aren’t connecting to the bridge, sometimes it takes a minute.

These are really cool! Adds some nice lighting behind my TV. Only Con is that sometimes they refuse to connect to the app so you have to unplug the power cables and plug them back in

I have six of this inside my entertainment room. They look amazing when all lit and flashing in strobe mode. They add a beautiful ambience to the room while watching movies.

Huge Play Lights were easy to sync with my hub and are controlled easily via the Hue app and HomeKit. Working with the Razer Synapse software to get to sync with games, but they’ve already synced with Wallpaper Engine. I do feel like they’re a little pricey but are worth it as a splurge purchase.

These are simple plug and play. They sinc right up to the hub and lights up your area and even has a ear phone jack to mimic lights with sound. I used then on my upper cabinets to light my kitchen. perfect product.

I have synced these up with my razer peripherals and it has an awesome look for my gaming rig! They are super bright and easy to set up. 10/10 for me. Can't wait to add more Hue lights to my living space.

Easy set-up. Love the variety of colors to choose from. Vibrant. Recommend.

This is an amazing ambiance light. I have four of them. You will fall in love with the colors. It has enough brightness. I think I should also get hue sync box.

I was hesitant about getting a light that was only app controlled, but I love it. The customization possibilities are endless. It is much smaller than I was expecting, but still packs a great punch.

We use the lights to back light our TV. Very soothing and easy on the eyes. The phone app is easy and allows you to adjust brightness and tint. Makes a great gift

These are a great addition to anyone who already has Hue lights in their house. I got these to add to my TV room and love how bright they are and how easy they are to control.

I bought these lights to install on the back of my 50in. TV. Was very easy and makes it look real cool. Can change it to any color and work great with all my other Hue Products.

I got these lights to put behind my TV to give some ambient light when watching movies or TV. It works great, easy to change the settings through the app and a wide spectrum of color to make it softer or brighter when needed. I used command strips to hang it up instead of the adhesive it came with, so i can easily move it, and it still works great.
