    Absolutely love these... have three in a Wall Unit, now bought two more for a Curio Cabinet. They work well with my other Hue Smart Devices and Apple HomeKit. Just wish they were a little cheaper.

    Nice addition to the entertainment center. The lights provide good ambient back lighting for the TV. I do not have the SYNC box (did not want it), and the lights still work fine - similar to other Hue lights.

    I thoroughly enjoy Hue lights. I currently have five of these light bars around my TV hooked to the Hue sync box. Makes for amazing immersive lighting.

    Catastrophic waste of time

    After a tremendous amount of deliberation I finally decided to buy these lights when I was able to catch them on sale...... And honestly, I don't recall ever being so dissatisfied with a purchase. I purchased these lights with the intent of creating ambient lighting for my living room, behind my television. Straight up, I am here to tell you that these lights are not worth the money, are not as bright as they seem in the store displays and in order for them to sync up with your television you need to buy an additional hub device that is priced at $230 at the time of writing this..... Even with the additional hub, the results are incredibly dismal at best and I am literally returning these lights to the store today. My list of complaints with this product is incredibly long but I would say the biggest issues are: 1) Overpriced 2) Quality is not what I'd expect for price point 3) Two of these lights positioned behind my 65-inch flat screen TV are not bright enough to create ambient lighting in my tiny living room. (I had considered purchasing another single light, but once I did the math and realized that I had already spent $420 plus taxes for JUST ambient lighting behind my television. I refused to pay any more money for such an incredibly frivolous and non-necessary thing. 4) Hue app straight up sucks 5) Poor range of colors to choose from I would say that if you STILL want to purchase these lights do so at your own risk.... They have the potential to be so cool, but in real life are so dumb. The only way I can ever see these living up to their full potential without spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars would be if you utilize them behind a desktop computer monitor, otherwise completely forget it.

    Great accent lights to my PC gaming desk. I can also move them around with ease for the back of my desk as well which is why I went with these instead of the strip lights. All in all great product.

    Great product with great features. Only complaint from giving it 5 stars was that the content listing showed only one stand for both light bars but in reality it included 2 each. We had to open up the box to verify & all boxes displayed on the shelves stated that only one stand was included for both light bars.

    These are great little accent lights when you need just a splash of color some place. They integrate with the Siri and the Google Assistant. Recommend if you already have a Hue set up at home

    I use these along with the sync box for tv & often use it during video conferencing sessions. I wish there was a version that could be brighter than 800 lumens (60 watt equivalent)
