    Fun, makes a big difference in a room. The LED light isn't as pleasant as other light sources so I wouldn't use this for room lighting but as accent it's great. The adhesive that comes with them is not great.

    Great light bars to use behind the TV for multizone color while using the amazing hue sync app for PC! I love the product and the ecosystem so far, everything works pretty flawlessly. They are pretty bright too so you get a good effect.

    I love these lights! They are pricy but you get what you pay for. I have them in two rooms now. I wouldn't want to go with any others, they are extremely color accurate and easy to setup and use.

    My local store didn't have this in stock so I went to another store to get this item as an impulse purchase. I had previously purchased a bridge when it was on sale and this was my first light purchase. You have multiple choices of how to install this, i.e. attached to the back of your TV, or you can use a vertical or horizontal stand. I used the easy to attach vertical stand and set up was very simple. I experimented with different positions and ended up with the two lights directly facing the wall and washing it with color. I found the unshaded led light too intense if any part of the light was facing me. I'm very happy with this. It is lightweight and very easy to move around and experiment with different positions as well as with different colors. I am controlling it both with my iPhone and with Alexa. I have since bought other Hue lights.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
