    Huge variety of colors. Works well with the Philips apps. I've seen some reviews about latency between the lights and the screen but I haven't noticed any issues.

    After I got the Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, I needed to add lights to enhance the experience. The original product I was looking for (Play Gradient LightStrip) was not in stock so I decided to get these in the meantime. Ease of setup was a plus and the definitely make a dramatic impact on tv watching. They are as bright as I want them to be and with in-app controls, I can customize the exact style I want. Once the LightStrips are back in stock, I will reposition these to further enhance the overall experience. A great addition to the Philips Hue product lineup!

    I purchased these lights to go on a big screen TV that was too large for the strips. They are easy to set up like the strips. May produce more light than the strips too. I have them on the stands behind the TV for now and they work really well adding ambience to the room.

    Same lights but with a new shape, how far can they push the same concept? I have these mounted to rear of my TV, adds depth to color of room when syncing lights to movies, games, or my music. Expensive but kind of cool. Definitely to add to existing hue area, not for purchase by themselves.

    Not much you can really do with these behind your TV besides have a static color - you really need the sync box that is $230 (!). These would be good for a computer setup but that's not my use case. That being said, the colors are great and they are super bright.

    Great multi purpose lighting for fans of Hue bulbs

    I am well into the Philips Hue eco system having several led bulbs and light strips. These lights are a great addition as I enjoy indirect lighting and accent lighting. The bar lights get extremely bright and illuminate my computer area using them as indirect light against a wall. They also work well, as Philips defines, “entertainment” lights which allow you to sync them with video games, movies, and other types of media matching the background colors. Also, considering the life span of these bulbs I’d say they’re well worth the investment.

    I first used the light strips for my tv but the adhesive would come off and you can only use it once. This is great cause you can move it around and it lights up great.

    Great Hidden Mood Lighting Behing Your TV/Monitor!

    These were made to be hidden behind your TV/PC Monitor, you will need the 2 pack for The Philips Hue Sync application which creates a lightscripts for your lights based on content you watch or play on your TV, PC or Mac. Via screen grabbing and a smart color algorithm, it matches your Philips Hue lights to on screen action in real-time. You can use a single Light Bar for just mood lighting to match the rest of your room. These are great for other areas as well such as hidden above cabinets in the kitchen / bar area which we use as well as the Lightstrips for broader coverage than the Light Bar.

    I like most all hue products even though I think they are overpriced. But they are simple to hook up and use. Giving only 4 stars as one of them fell off the tv with the tape they provided. Luckily it didn’t break.

    I love these lights and I use them for behind my TV but one thing that is frustrating is there isn’t any clear way to see how to purchase new bases or adhesive stickers. I had a friend accidentally break one of the bases which is fine because I wanted to use the other type of base which allows you to rest it and I can’t figure it out. So they probably want you to buy a whole new light which is crazy. Aside from that yes the lights are very expensive but they work really well and keep your electricity bill low.
