One of my biggest pet peeves about smart electronics these days is the need for extra hardware in order to connect things. Just another piece of equipment to stash away somewhere out of sight or struggle to adhere to the underside of a desk.
Thankfully, these smart lights don’t need the extra hub and have a very lightweight and compact Bluetooth connector that is smaller than a matchbox. The wall plug is actually the bulkiest part of this entire light strip.
The lights themselves are also very sturdy and heavy. I’m concerned for the longevity of the adhesive so I guess time will tell. They feel way stronger than some other cheap brands lights that I have used in the past. I’m not worried about bending or twisting them in case they rip. However the sturdiness does make it difficult to bend if you’re trying to make a tight corner.
The app comes with dozens of scenes that will set the lights to preset color schemes, but I really enjoy the effects that give the light a little movement. I wish there were more than the three I have. Candlelight, flames, and prism. Actually I just checked and there are six now. These are where the lights “shine” haha with their ambiance.
My only knock is that the amount of lights per foot is rather sparse. If you’re using these for indirect lighting, such as the back of a desk, shelf, or tv they are great. But looking at them straight on it’s easy to see all the gaps between the lights where the rest of the electronics are. Some of these are two inches long!

I’ve gotten hooked on the Philips Hue line. Using the Hub as well as a 3rd party app makes it the very best smart light system out there. It’s an example of getting what you pay for… The Hub allows for wireless connection without weighing down your wi-fi signal. This newer “Solo” Lightstrip line finally allowed me to try one due to the lower cost. These are so cool and such high quality, I am very happy with what it added to my room. I’ve already ordered a second one. Installation was a breeze.

These are some decent strip lights. I wanted to try these because it didn’t require me to have an account to use and I wanted to see if Philip branded lights and environment would be something we would consider in the future as we continue to upgrade our home and add smart devices throughout. It was a simple add to Bluetooth once we downloaded the app and I didn’t have to sign up and create an account. However, I still had to add my name and email to move forward. The lights will work without the app but it is limited to one color out of the box. The app is very basic, I’m assuming it offers tons more under an account. With the app you can do basic things like adjust the colors and choose scenes. Thats about it. You also have to have an account to use the Google or Alexa assistant features, so that was a downside. Overall it’s ok, but I know there are better out there in offerings straight out the box with more intuitive apps for a lot less. I would stick to other options for more bang for your buck.

We love Philips Hue light strips in our house! They are the main source of lighting in our living room and library. The customizability of color really does make our home feel more cozy. The self adhesive on the back of lights makes easy to place. This was out third set to have purchased and our original set which we bought ~6 years ago is still going strong!

Hue is the standard for all this automated lighting. The only knock on the light strips is the backing eventually doesn't stick and the light strip falls down. I eventually have to get some double sided tape that will hold to fix them. I have over 30+ Hue products inside and outside my home. Hue is pricey but I think the colors of the lights are better than others.

Flexible, bright, long lasting! I've used these for years. They always make a perfect addition to anything I may want to jazz up! I'm so excited for the new line coming in spring 2026!

This light strip is amazing. Our last strip burned out, so i was thrilled to see this one was on sale. It’s quite bright and very simple to set up.
Pairs well with other smart home products.

The Hue Solo Lightstrip is incredibly bright, much more than I predicted. It was incredibly easy to set up given that I was already using a Philips bridge. It was also easy to integrate into my smart home controls. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for, the lights function better than any other brand I have tested.

The Philips Hue light strip is an amazing addition to my theater room! It provides a wide variety of vibrant hues to perfectly set the mood for any scene. Whether it's a movie night, gaming session, or just relaxing, the customization options make it incredibly versatile.
I paired it with the Hue Sync Box, which I also highly recommend. Together, they take the experience to a whole new level. The dynamic light effects sync perfectly with what's on the screen, adding an extra layer of excitement and immersion when watching movies.
This product has completely transformed my theater setup. If you're looking for a way to elevate your entertainment space, the Philips Hue light strip is a must-have!

In relation to other hue products, this is fairly priced. I am disappointed in the fact that this product does not have individually addressable lights, but it got very bright just like all other hue light strips. I also liked the longer length.

Very nice for any office or game room setup. Easy to control from your phone with the app, and change the themes to what you're feeling. Can also add another section of light to the end to increase for longer distance if you want. Just make sure you have a smooth surface for the adhesive.
I would recommend this to a friend

The brightness and scheduling settings were wonderful, bright, and high quality.

These lights are great. You can customize them to any color setting and you can set them to different modes like flickering like a candle. They don’t get too hot behind the tv but I would suggest using light strip clips to mount them instead of the adhesive on the back of them so your can reuse them easily.

Great lights with lots of colors and varing brightness, but after having them for about 2 weeks they would keep falling down. Now they are just a waste of money
