    So easy to set up! Pretty much plug and play. I already had a hub set up, so this is a great addition to add to your TV and entertainment area. It really changes the experience when watching TV or playing video games

    I have these lights on a 65 inch tv in my basement. The other lights in the room are also Hue. The Hue Labs make the room into a room I want to spend time in. Can turn on/off and change color with my google home as well as Hue app. Labs set by Hue app only.

    These guys are great when paired with the Hue HDMI Sync box. Like all hue lights, pairing is super easy, and the colors match spot on. The mounting brackets are really handy, too.

    These lights are beautiful, I use them with the sync box and they go perfectly when placed behind the tv. I also use the light strip on the top of the tv and on the bottom of the tv console and it looks great!

    Bright and can easily sync with others, almost plug and go; it came with two different mounts, the stand up one will tilt back in a small angle, wish the cable is located at the bottom of the light instead of the back

    Nice Light used for dynamic lighting using a Hue Sync Box around an 85" Sammy. Easy setup with Hue App and works well in HomeKit. Could be be slightly larger and brighter but works well in pairs. Using six Playbars but still need the 75" gradient light strip when it comes back in stock to get a true dynamic effect

    These are great! They work exactly as advertised. I have had one set for about five years and they are still going strong. I bought a new set for another TV and they are still great.

    Love these lights

    As I am typing this review they are synched up to my razer software and they are illuminating my wall behind my computer. I love these lights! You never know what you are missing until you purchase them and I feel like I have been missing quite a bit now that I own them. They work great with the Razer software and really well with the Hue app for windows. There is a setting that lets you synch them up and then they provide ambient light from what you are looking at on your screen. It sounds sort of cheesy but it is really awesome. It is not intrusive, it just adds to the experience. They are also pretty amazing for music as well as there is a setting on the hue app which lets you visualize your music. You can chose your own color pallet or use one of the pre done ones. If you are able to, pick up a set I really feel you will not be disappointed.

    I haven’t had any problems with it. I have this behind my tv in my room and the stops behind my work desk. My plan is to put them all around the house. This is a little more expensive than the strips;however, it does look a lot more presentable.

    Great for entertainment room!

    A great addition to any entertainment setup these lights provide a great backlight or if you use the Hue Sync feature via a PC or Mac it gives a crazy new experience! This kit includes 2 lightbars and a whole pack of mounting options. I personally have mine sitting horizontally on our TV stand without any of the mounting options but they come with vertical stands, wall mounting options, or sticky pads to mount them on the back od your TV. The best way to integrate these into your entertainment setup is via the Hue Sync app on PC/Mac to match the lights to whatever you're playing. From music to movies you can bring light to it. Music played while synced has options of preset color schemes or create your own with different intensity. Movies or video games match the colors on the screen and puts up matching backlight. It's definitely smoother on lower intensity and can loose flexibility when increased to the intensity however it's still quite impressive. Setup is slightly more difficult but still intuitive in the Sync app as just like with speakers in a surround sound setup the lights have to be placed in the room but the app makes it easy. This set is definitely not required for anyone's entertainment setup but can give it just that extra pop to give it a home theater feel!

    Very easy to install. I liked that the plug can hold 3 play bars. Will be purchasing the extended play bar. However, I have Phillips hue bulbs and those give off a richer and brighter color than the play bars.

    This is a nice ad-on to your TV entertainment. Sometimes it is too much, maybe not suitable for watching the news. It is annoying that on the app, you have to sync everytime you want to use it. I paired it with the Hue lights and worked intermittently. It best paired on its own; even though, they give you an option to pair with other hue lights.

    Mounted these on the back of my TV, and they have ended up being one of the better home theater upgrades I've made. Provide just a little extra light in a dark room without causing any glare or eye strain.
