    I bought these to go along with the Philips light strip around my tv, and I'm so happy I did. They complete the look. Easy to install.

    Overall I am happy but they are pretty expensive. They are fun and put out vibrant colors. I found out after the purchase that you can sync them to your direct tv or cable provider but it requires an additional item costing a lot more money.

    Using as bias lighting for my computer monitors. Using the sync software available on PC makes these pretty legit. A little pricey at 150 (normal MSRP), I feel they aren't quite worth that. I'd try to wait for a sale or coupon.

    I like them, but wish I had bought bigger ones. I didn't know I needed the Bridge when I ordered and had to wait to use them until I ordered the Bridge. Works great now.

    These lights are so much fun and are very easy to set up and control with the hue app. They pair great with the HDMI sync box for your TV or just around the house.

    Greeting lighting. I place one on each side of my TV and control it with the HUE app and it looks great. Definitely would recommend this if you want something different from the light strips.

    Love these lights. They look great hidden and in plain view. I leave them on my desk and give it a warm color. Will purchase again for the living room.

    I love these LED bars - put them behind my TV to project onto the wall and it adds a great ambiance. They're not as bright as the regular color bulbs, but are perfect for backlights on TVs, monitors, etc.

    This is my second set. They work great for a small room or an addition to a large set setup. They are super bright and also very colorful, much more so than the regular hue bulbs.

    I bought these since I had Hue lights already, but was mad when I got home and realized that I needed the Hue Sync Box for another $250. I went and got it anyway, thinking I could return it, but really LOVE it and glad I tried it out. I have several other Hue light bulbs in the house and can't wait to use it for a party and look more forward to watching some TV shows and movies. There's a few things with the Hue Sync app that could be a little more intuitive, but overall is OK.

    So I these to splash some light after hearing it could sync to what’s on your tv screen. Problem is it only works directly from a computer (not Xbox or Apple TV) so was mostly useless. There are other cheaper hue lights that are better.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
