Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have to buy an HDMI Sync box still...$$$$ Not included, Must have HDMI Sync box if want your cool tv to interact with movies. Watching a jungle scene... led lights will sync green in back of tv. Fire scenes... lights turn red, y get the picture. Playing Xbox/ PS, lights sync the same as movies. Music is different, have to download and app to switch between movie/ game or music. Very easy to setup. If don’t buy HDMI sync box, you can just have lights setup to many colors which is nice but won’t change colors for any movie/ games or music which is the only reason I bought it! Wish sold a complete setup!

We mounted two of these behind our TV (without the sync box). I love the light it throws and the control of color. App is easy to use and haven't had any connectivity issues after a month or so of regular use. I was a little hesitant because our TV is mounted slightly askew from the wall due to room size and seating but I don't think it has been a problem though. I had to drill a hole in the mount to attach via screw to our mounting bracket; I didn't trust the adhesives provided with the lights.

If your looking to pimp out your smart TV and give you something to let your friends and family know your the big chief of entertainment, then your gonna wanna do yourself a favor and grab the Phillips hue play starter kit for a couple important reasons. The most important item is the Phillips hue hub which retails at $59.99 before tax, this syncs all your lights together using a wifi connection. The two Phillips hue play light bars retail for $59.99 before tax so when it's all added up after tax your looking at around $190.00. To sum it all up save yourself $50.00 bucks and go with the kit. You have a 14 day return policy, elite bosses got 45days so you can't lose. If you got the cash to burn grab the kit and enjoy the vibes these lights unleash.

I've been buying Hue Light Strips to put accent lighting in areas of my home that could use it. I hated the idea of buying the light strip and cutting them down to length. I know these Hue Plays are kind of marketed as entertainment accents to be used behind a TV or PC monitor, but I found excellent uses in shelves and under a sound bar. The build quality is pretty good; it's not metal or anything, but keeping the weight down is good too so that it can be mounted facing down using the provided double-sided tape. They come with stands if you want to stand them up facing a wall. Note that the power supply to these lights can only power up to three at a time. The kit comes with two lights, but you'll only be able to add one more light. If you need more than 3 lights, say, for a 4-tier shelf, then you'll have to buy another single or double light kit that comes with the power supply. The do sell these as light add-ons as well (no power supply). I'm very happy with the amount of light each Play produces. I can have them on solely and it will illuminate a room pretty well. If you want accent lighting in small spaces and don't want to cut light strips, these are the way to go.

I have never purchased these kinds of lights before these. I have to say, they are amazing. They work seamlessly with my google hub and the mounts it comes with were perfect to stick on the back of my gaming monitor. I can't see them from about a 45 degree angle on the side of the monitor since I placed them real close to the center of the monitor. They are very bright. They honestly bring my desk to life. For 100 bucks I still think it is expensive for lights but if you are willing to pay 100 bucks for VERY GOOD lights then these are it. The only place I use them is on my desk but I am sure you can stick these in so many other places.

Been waiting for this to drop for over a yr arnd was def worth the wait. They've replaced my floor lamps and are perfect for setting any type of ambiance you're in the mood for. I plan on getting 2 sets of bulbs to go in my chandelier which will be epic!

At first I was skeptical that the lighting would bother while watching tv or playing a game. I paired these up with a sync box and I was blown away. It makes what ever you’re watching much more immersive. The best way I can describe it would be upgrading from your tv speakers to a good solid sound bar. As far as the pricing goes I believe they are pretty pricy, but at the end of the day I believe it’s worth it.

Perfect for behind a TV. If only the HUE sync box wasn't so expensive, it'd be a game changer.

I Like the Philips hue environment. They are so easy to get set up and control. I have these placed on my desk and wall mount in my room. They are surprisingly small but put out a ton of light. Its a Great product for sure for safe light in a dark room.

The Phillips- Hue Play Starter Kit are my first set of Hue lights and I must admit, they are amazing! I purchased these for my gaming setup and were super easy to connect. After downloading the app, follow the prompts and you're all set! It integrates extremely well the Elgato StremDeck as that's what I use to control powering it off/on and changing its' color. These lights offers the option to create "scenes" in which you are able to customize light patterns and colors- I have yet to do so personally but will upload an update soon! Pros: Easy to setup, integrates well with other apps and software, customization options Cons: none at the moment

It has definitely kept me from getting upgrades for my PC rig, I need it but with these new added light bars they've enhanced the gaming atmosphere to where I'm not even worried about it. Easy to install and multiple ways to orient them.

I bought this lights and put them facing up towards my tv that’s mounted on the wall and it looks awesome. I also bought the hue strip and taped it to the back of the tv to add more lighting to the top part of it.

I am on the verge of having to many hue devices in our house and when I saw this kit on sale I had to pick them up. They are probably one of the better hue buys as they work perfectly to help illuminate behind our tv. They have two kinds of mounting hardware and some 3m adhesive tabs to mount right to the back of the tv. If these go on sale again I will most likely buy another set for our other TVs in the house.

This was a great purchase for my new entertainment center and makes the ambiance of my living room that much better for viewing movies or gaming. Would highly recommend!

I have these set up on my gaming triple monitor set up. Easy to set on the back of the monitors and the app is very simple and intuitive. Great immersion for media on pc.

Was looking for something to provide some color behind the TV and not be as distracting as fixture lights. This gets the job done perfectly.

I placed these behind my computer monitors and they look awesome. Would recommend to friends/family. Easy to set up and control with Alexa.

Love my Play Hues! Low energy lights with some great colors They work great and fit nicely with my decor.. I plan to get more soon!

It’s a nice addition to my already installed kit. Pairing is easy and colors are consistent with older Philips lights. Great Buy

I’ve already had hue lights in my home for years but I think it’s truly great that they made this package Combo it’s an awesome way to get started if your going to continue to add more lights little by little like I did and if you just want to only keep these two then regardless they are great for setting the right mood at the right time
