    Great lights for any occasion, easy to install and set up. These are brighter than the Hue Go and the colors are rich and vibrant.

    Easy to setup. Had some mount pieces that made zero sense. But otherwise, it was an easy setup. Don't toss anything as the serial number can be needed to set these up. Make sure you do that before tucking them into a tight spot.

    I really like the execution here. I bought and used for a day before returning because they were overpriced for their use case—I don’t watch TV at all and only sometimes play video games. Not are games are compatible with this but for those that are, it does add to the experience

    Good but could be better

    These lights are a great addition to my large Hue collection. However, I feel the mounting options could be much better. I mounted them on back of Sony XBR Z9, which has plastic backing with a square pattern that most likely affects the stickers from adhering properly, but the lights fall off regularly. I really wish there were more mounting options and were able to rotate. Larger stand options would also be nice so you wouldn't have to stick them to the TV and could still get them to the height of your preference. In all it's a good, not great, product and works as expected. I'm still glad I picked them up but I'll probably get the next model because I bet they upgrade them with a more modular mounting system.

    I have these two lights mounted behind my Samsung TV with the self-adhesive strips and use it to create a different scene when watching movies. It was easy to set up but note that the hue IDs are near the base where the lights plug into an adapter in order to get these set up after the fact. I just got a new router and had to reconfigure the hue app and manually had to enter these two lights as I couldn't' scan the QR code without removing them from my tv.

    Works as advertised. The cord is short though 3 lights can be used with the single adapter plug that comes with the 2-pack. I may pick up another 2-pack in order to add a third light for my TV and add the fourth light elsewhere since that would provide me with another adapter. If you want to consider more adapter plugs, you may want to purchase the single packs instead. The added expense should not make much of a difference.

    I have these setup behind my OLED TV and they are great to provide ambiance and light around the TV to avoid eye fatigue if you’re prone to that. Like all Hue lights you’ll need the app to set them up. It comes with two types of ‘stands’. One is angled and the other is vertical, allowing you to place the lights is different ways. If you have a bigger TV than 75”, three of these lights might be better. The lights have the full color spectrum so you can choose any color.

    These lights work great as behind monitors and many other spots around your home. I do wish that Hue would start expanding this product line further. I feel they have a great lineup but haven't really done anything crazy in the past year or two.

    One could say that I have too many Philip's Hue lights in my room, so I am experienced in setting these things up and connecting them and all that. I am always impressed at how easily a new light is registered and how quickly it adjusts to all the scenes that I already have set up. In my opinion, Philip's Hue is multicolored lights done right.
