    I brought this package to bring some ambiance lighting into my home. My brother had a custom basement package which included a lighting system. I don't have a basement but I can create the mood I want to create throughout the house. I have my Hue Play behind my 75" TV. The color effect makes the TV stand out and appearing larger. Very pleased with the Philip Light kits.

    Nice lights, little pricey.....but if you want to try the light sync without the 250$ play sync box....you can hook it up to any android streaming device....couple free apps to try it for the tv sync....Play Sync only works on DRM free video ie...youtube...tubi...pluto..other than that glad i got them

    The hue lights have great color and have never disappointed. I have five connected to a 75” QLED. No complaints about colors but the sync box can be annoying since you have to turn it on via the app before it will pass signal through to the TV. So no app, no TV. Sucks for family and friends unless I’m home or if they have the app.

    Love these lights. They are easy to manage by your phone and fun to have them automatically turn on and off at night. The only thing I caution is that since we have a new smart TV, you cannot have the lights change with the music/shows so we manually change the color when we want it different.

    I know, Philips lights are more expensive but they are much brighter than other brands and super crisp in colors. I got the strips for our kitchen island and behind the TV we got the 2 light bar-set. The whole wall is covered with the scenes on our app. It is seriously a pro-light! Buy a hub, it is the best!

    Very happy with these. We use them to watch tv as background lighting so it’s not too bright but can illuminate the whole room. Perfect for what I needed them for. I bought 4 of them! Connected them to google home for ease of use turning on and off. Tell google to shut off tv lights or change color, quick easy, love them!

    Bought these for my game room where they looked awesome. Ended up moving them to the living room behind the TV and they look even better! Only downside is now I have to buy another pair haha. Recommendation if buying Phillips Hue lights for the first time, but the combo pack with the Bridge, you will save money.

    The lights are amazing, they work just like I want them. The downside is I live 2 hours from a bestbuy and when I bought them I didn’t know I needed a hub. Long story short two weeks later got the hub and now work perfectly. Oh and don’t throw away the box you might need the number on the inside of it to pair.

    This is a wonderful product for the family home. Easy to set up and install on your phone! I am a parent of a child with special needs and the therapy lights help her transition from bed time and morning routine. She loves to interact with the custom color applications! I will be incorporating them in my entire home!!!

    These have been hard to find because they are always out of stock. Finally able to order online and picked up at store in 2 days. These lights exceeded my expectations and are much brighter than expected. Currently have them behind my 50 inch tv in the living room and it makes watching tv much more enjoyable. I would love another set someday.

    Don't love having to buy the Bridge to make this work wirelessly, but the quality and lighting is great and I'll be happy not to deal with a sticky LED strip that falls off the TV every few weeks. Just make sure your expectations are set to what these are; just bright standalone lights that won't sync up to the TV unless you purchase an even more expensive box to route them through. As-is they suit my needs just fine.

    Awesome set up. It definitely livens up the room. You will need to purchase the bridge for it to sync with your tv or you can get the little box for it to sync to your pc. Buying other things needed for it to work to its full potential may make you angry.

    Unlike some other hue products, there aren’t a lot of other options out that that have the lighting quality of their light bulbs with the connectivity to other devices. If you like lighting setups that connect to sync boxes to a tv or computer this is for you, otherwise, there are cheaper options out there.

    This kit makes for great accent lighting and can be used in a number of different ways. Only your imagination will limit how you can use these light bars to brighten your space. Works really well with Alexa, HomeKit (with hub) and took seconds to synchronize with the Hue iOS app.

    Added these to an existing Hue set up. these are coming on daily near dusk as a welcoming home light so we don't come home to a dark house. Also sort of a burglar deterrent. Very easy to set up if you have the Hue hub. I p[laced them behind our TV for an indirect light while watching shows. I like the ability to change their color too.

    This is was an impulse purchase while at the store. I wanted more lighting in my place and decided to try out these gamer looking lights. There’s definitely an art to incorporating neon lighting to your decor. IMO you need multiple lights spread around the room in colors that go well. Just randomly buying one or two is no bueno. Lastly, these lights are just weirdly shaped; not very useful and fitting.
