The Philips Hue Light Strip turned my plain old room into a whole vibe. One minute it’s soft candle-glow cozy, the next it’s neon-lit nightclub energy—like lighting with a personality, and yes… it gets me. The colors are rich, smooth, and endlessly adjustable, so you can match your mood whether you’re feeling romantic, creative, dramatic, or delightfully chaotic.
Setup was refreshingly simple. Stick it where you want it, plug it in, pair it, and suddenly the walls are whispering poetry in light. The app control is seamless, and the scenes are fun to play with—sunsets, ocean blues, gentle pastels, bold party colors… it’s all there waiting for you to experiment like a mad scientist with a dimmer switch.
The build feels solid and premium, not flimsy. And the way the light diffuses? Chef’s kiss. No harsh dots—just smooth, silky color washing across the room like paint from the future.
Bottom line: it doesn’t just light your space. It shifts the mood of your life a little. And honestly, who couldn’t use that kind of magic? ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great product! Easy to use for wall spot lighting, or mounting behind a monitor for bias lighting. These are on the pricier side, as all Hue products, but you pay for the ease of use and exceptional integration with other Hue products if you're already in the Hue ecosystem like I am.

If you are just starting out with smart lights - this is the brand you want. The lights have never gone out on me, they are easily adjusted with the Google home app or the Hue app. The colors are as sharp or soft as you want them to be. You don't realize how nice it is to not need to walk to or touch a light switch until you have these lights. If you leave the house you can check on your app and adjust the lights, go to bed and forget the lights on - just tell your smart home or adjust them on your app. Carrying something out of the room and wont be going back - just tell your smart home to shut the lights off.

Ok. I really didn’t need it but I do enjoy it! Fun lighting for my living room. Pricy for a toy, though I used BB rewards. Setup was simple and quick. I haven’t had trouble with the adhesive as some buyers reported. Mine has stuck to the back of my flat panel TV for about a month now.

Super quick and easy setup. This is an office light (in addition to 2 hue bulbs in the living room). Pu
Just got it and this is pushing out an amazing amount of light. As with all the Philips Hue - the color variation and routines are outstanding.

Sucks it doesn’t come with the Hue Bridge could have made the bar a WiFi or Bluetooth device but once you have the bridge it’s perfect! Hard to start with but once you play with it it’ll be easy to use

Works as intended! I didn’t want or need the HDMI Sync from Philips, but I did want the light behind the TV. Easy setup and installation. Wish it came with more 3M adhesives. Consider location twice, since you can only “stick” it once of that is your preference. One works fine for me, but definitely considering getting two more lights. It is super convenient that you only need one plug for up to three lights.

Bought a pair of these to put behind my 75 inch TV, and they are great but a little lacking especially towards the bottom. Put a third light center bottom and now I really love them!

Overall this light is great it was smaller then what I expected but that doesn’t really matter because the light is super bright and all the colors look great. Also very easy to set up.

By far the best light in the market. Simple set up and the colors are incredible. I stuck it on the back of my monitor and the whole wall lights up. I also use it as a night light, that’s how good it is.

Excellent Philips hue Product! Pairs to Philips Hue HUB like any other Philips Hue device and works flawlessly. This light is perfect for indirect lighting, like bouncing the light off the wall without seeing the light itself. Makes a beautiful array of white color temperatures as well as 16 million Colors. Overall great product, especially if you have other Philips Hue Lighting and Devices.

If you’re on the fence about if this light bar or Philips Hue is worth it, do it. Ideally the fun begins with two light sources and playing with the scenes. But the automation and smart home integration is something you may not think about now but only further makes this premium experience one that will evolve to exceed its cost to value ratio.

I have seven of these lights surrounding my 77 inch tv. We watch a lot of movies and sports. With these lights it has taken watching tv to another level.

Great option for a desk lamp. Needed something simple that can change the light temperature with out breaking the bank. And great for retro fitting in vintage lamp
