    I bought a set of these lights to improve my office ambience and get better face lighting for video conferencing. Setting the lights to some moody vibe when I want to grab a quick rest is nice too. Pretty pleased overall. I would rate this higher if: 1. It was a little nicer price point and 2. The wifi connected consistently. When the wifi is on point and I show up to my office, the lights come on automatically. But this feature only works about 50% of the time. I don't know why. So half the time, I need to take out my phone and launch the app when I arrive.

    This is nice and bright. Originally I wanted to use this behind my television however, I never pulled the trigger on it. I live in a slit level twin and the stairwell leading up to my bedroom is dark especially given it gets dark super early now during this time of the year. I purchased this and put it into the stairwell and it was very bright. My only problem was to see where I would post it up. This is nice, perfect for what I need.

    Better bias lighting than Hue LightStrip

    I've been using the Hue LightStrip as a bias light for my TV for a few years. While the lightStrip works OK, these are a much better to use. As a product, I'd give five stars but took one off because of the price.

    Great ambiance, nice app integration... only complaint i's limitation of stances for the lights... they should have a better cradling system. It's difficult to sit the bar in the cradle and have it sit without moving because of the weight of the cord... also you have to have it balanced perfectly in the middle or it falls off the cradle...NOW, I understand it's supposed to be screwed into the cradle in 1 of 2 configurations, but that completely limits this lights usage and the users ability to position it... something Philips could definitely work on... no bad on best buy

    I absolutely love these Philips hue lights. They are very bright and look stunning behind monitors, etc. I’m new to Philips Hue, and didn’t realize i needed a hue bridge to control the colors on it. The standard is white, but anything beyond white requires a hue bridge. I decided to buy the Best Buy exclusive of the Hue bridge, dimmer, and three smart bulbs, and by far the beat decision. Hue lighting is by far the best. I love being able to control with Siri.

    If you already have a Hue setup in your home, you can really enhance your TV viewing when pairing these the Hue Sync device. It took some time to dial it in to my preferences, but it really changed the overall experience for home theater. Setup was relatively easy, but did take some tweaking. When not in use, I have them setup on a Homekit routine to act as ambient lighting in my family room.

    Light is very bright. Works great with Alexa. Colors and brightness are easily adjustable in the Hue App. COMES WITH a horizontal and vertical stand, double sided sticker for mounting, and a wall unit that lets you plug in up to 3 lights. Very responsive when using the Hue Sync Box to watch the lights respond to movies and video games. *Make sure you have a Hue Bridge.
