    I Purchased this for my office and it’s been a fantastic addition to it. The ability to just light up a small section of the room, and any color that you choose, makes it perfect for smaller offices or game rooms. I have mine set up behind my television and it’s a perfect companion whenever I’m watching TV or playing a game.

    Upgrade from Bloom

    Upgraded from some Bloom lights I had behind my tv. Way brighter and being able to hide them easier is a plus. I do have three Play bars currently attached to my tv with the sync box. The effect is amazing can't wait to get my hands on the 75" gradient lightstrip to step it up even more.

    I got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. He hooked it up to his computer monitor and while he is playing games the color on the bar changes color to what game he is playing on the screen. The cost was a bit high but it was worth it. I just wish the Phillips stuff didn't cost so much. I like their products.

    It's ready to go right out of the box and I like the default color. Pairing it with a smart outlet and it's pretty helpful in reducing eyestrain at the desk. Also glad I don't have to get a hue bridge.

    Very nice, bridge is needed and not really advertised as such. Very expensive to get into however once you have more then a few lights the bridge and whole setup comes together. If you have the money go for it!

    I live in a small studio out in Chicago, and there is only so much you can do with such a small space. Adding these lights allowed to create an ambiance, and to also change the dynamic of the space to fit the occasion. I would highly recommend these for anyone that is looking to spice their space up

    Mounting options are meh. however these are very easy to control and work with Alexa. we had to get a little creative with mounting but the wife uses this as a video light source and allows her to control color and intensity as well as brightness.

    Got this for accent light on a photo does a pretty good job. Wish they had a mount that stuck a little further out and maybe had some lines integrated into mount so can line up straight on wall. Otherwise a great light!

    I wish these would be a bit brighter and have more of a range of light. For how much it is, it may make more sense to get a light strip rather than a play. For me, I have one of these as well as a strip behind my TV and it gives some good light combined. But for $69, I wish the play would be a bigger deal. It's good when combined with something, but to only get one is a waste of $. Might as well get two or a strip along with it.

    I bought the Hue Light Bar when I needed a light near my computer. I ended up loving it so much that I bought a second one within 3 days of receiving the first. It's a great light bar, simple to use, the app is great but make sure you have the Hue Bridge first.

    Hue lights are great. We bought this to go behind our tv stand and work with the hue sync. You can change colors and it works great with hue sync to add color to your movies. It really helps bring another dimension to our family movie nights.

    At first I didn’t know what this was all I saw was lighting which I needed for a spontaneous photography session. Yes it does require the Hie Bridge but it’s definitely worth it. Highly recommend this product.

    The Hue play bars emit a massive controlled spread of smoothly controlled colors and the app is a breeze to setup and a pleasure to mess with. It's first born money but at the time of this writing they are the clear market leader.

    I bought this to light my face evenly for zoom/Skype and it works very well. The temperature adjustment is very helpful because I have a window next to my desk. On cloudy days, I’ll use a cooler temperature and lower brightness. It looks very natural.
