    It’s a great product and it works as it should. The only issue is that they don’t tell you, you will need another decide to make the tv and the light sync and that product alone is worth twice as much as the lights. So the lights alone are just light and they’re pretty and all but you need the sync box in order to set it up as they advertise.

    When looking at your TV in the evening / Night you do not realize how dark it is around the background surrounding your TV. These Ambiance Lights reapply lighten up the mood by providing a soft lighted backdrop to your viewing experience and with the literal versatility of color hue selection it clearly melds with any move / background pallet you wish.

    Great for pc gaming. The way the lights match the game visuals is next level. It really makes the experience more immersive. I would certainly recommend this product. Only downfall is they are expensive and you need a Phillips hue Bridge to get started. If you have a Hue bridge your good to go. If not, that will at add more money to your starting out price.

    Great lights for a desktop or home entertainment setup. I have these around my desktop monitors to avoid overhead lighting. Really love the control of the lights through the app. I save a setting and can easily load the light colors I like.

    The lights are great. We use them all the time. I really like the motion scenes. We have a 77" LG CX and I would recommend 3 for a TV this large. I still need to get a 3rd for the top center. The lights are pricier than they need to be but I guess you get what you pay for.

    I love these Phillip Hue lights. I have now got 5 of these and another one for my side table. I love how they change colors. I hope to get the outside ones now. I do have a Long strip of hue lights also. These are expensive so I get the TOTAL TECH WARRANTIES with GEEK SQUAD because if they go out I want a replacement. So far so good and I use them all day

    I'm addicted to these things now! I was looking at either the LED strip or these and went with the Play Bars. Saw a video online and you couldn't really tell the difference. I'm using them on my monitor and not watching movies so ill probably save the new Light strip for the main TV. These add some great ambience to to room and are very easy to setup.

    Need backlight for large screen television and these fit the bill. Backlight creates a theatre like experience and makes watching movies and television in general much more enjoyable. These being Hue lights adds colors if wanted and a sync function with additional equipment that change/pulsate with the audio (music or dialogue). Great product, easy to set up, even easier to use.

    Bought these to compliment the gradient light strip. If your tv is hanging on a wall get these to throw light from the bottom of the TV, either from a table below pointing up or from the bottom of the TV pointing down. The hue app helps you to virtually place them so the hdmi sync box knows how to light them.

    Great purchase to go with my SYNC box. Setup was easy and straight forward. I have them placed behind my Front L/R floor speakers to great effect. Paired with Hue light strips around 65" LG tv (x3) and 3 Hue RGB lights in overhead ceiling fan. Great ambiance, solid performance. APP works as advertised. Would recommend for any use!
