    I have these on the back of my tv to create a subtle glow that illuminates the room some without causing a glare on the tv. It looks really high end. I haven’t tried the syncing light feature yet. The reason why I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the adhesive isn’t strong enough and the lights fall off every now and then.

    We loved the lights. Easy to connect, wonderful colors. Easy to use through app. Unfortunately we ended up returning this since it didn't cover enough of a 20' wall we were using this on. But for smaller spaces, this light should just work.

    I mounted three of these lights on the back of my television to add a little more theater to my home theater. Doing this eliminated any glare issues I had before and being able make them any color I choose is a happy bonus.

    I stick them beind my 34 inch curve monitor. it's very nice changing color and help keep my desk bright. but I might recommend getting strip LED light instead. But I think this is not bad choice either.

    These light bars are awesome. The color combinations seem endless. You will need a hue bridge in order to use them. The hue bridge does sync with a pc, when gaming or watching a video they will sync along making for an enjoyable experience. Make sure you mark positioning on the back of your tv or monitor before sticking them with the included 3m tape. The tape is strong and will hold them in place unlike cheaply versions of this lighting set up. There is a sync box that you may want to add in order to get the lights to sync with h your television while watching movies. You also need to get a hue bridge. It can be pretty costly but the results are awesome.

    You need the bridge for this to work but it’s great for gaming especially if you’re playing a game where your surroundings can change from bright to dark. Very immersive.

    These are a great addition to any Hue setup, and they're much brighter than I would have though. I mount them to my monitors, but the stands included make it flexible to use in different areas.

    I think out of all the hue lights these are the best or second best on the all time hue list. They give off the perfect amount of light they are not too low but not too bright that they blind u. I like them and would refer them

    This gives just the right amount of ambient backlighting for a tv. Much nicer than a light strip in that unless your tv is recessed into a nook, you will catch the glare of light strips every time you walk past the side of the tv.

    These lights are phenomenal. I got them for my hue sync box & the lights are mounted to my tv & light up the whole back wall with the movie colors. Must buy for your viewing pleasure along with the hue sync box.

    Fantastic product. Just be sure you are aware of all of the additional products you might need to get it to work. For some reason it doesn't come with the Philips Hue Bridge even though it is required. They offer a package some places where you can pay more and get the lights and bridge. Also you will then be able to change the light from your phone/the hue app, but unless you have the Philips Hue Sync Box it will not have adaptive synchronized lighting to the devices that are used on your tv. The products themselves are incredible, they are just expensive and sold seperate from one another. Just make sure you know everything you might need before you buy any of the hue products.
