Philips Hue Smart Play Light Bar Base Kit, White - White & Color Ambiance LED Color-Changing Light - 1 Pack - Requires Bridge - Control with App - Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit

The Philips Hue Light Bars completely transformed my living room! The colors are vibrant, smooth, and look incredible behind my TV. I love being able to control them through the app or with voice commands — switching from bright white for daytime to cozy, colorful ambiance at night is so easy. Setup was simple and the included stands and mounts made placement flexible. I put mine behind the TV, and it makes movie nights feel like a theater experience. The quality feels premium, and everything has worked flawlessly once connected to the Hue Bridge. The only downside is the price — it’s definitely a splurge, especially since you need the Bridge for full features. But honestly, the results are worth it. If you want high-quality smart lighting that instantly upgrades your space, these are a must-have! Highly recommend for anyone who loves ambient lighting or wants to elevate their entertainment setup.

I stuck these to the back of my monitor with the light reflecting off the wall to use for virtual meetings. They work great for that. I don’t like lights shining in my face, and like a clear workspace. So with these mounted behind my monitor, I don’t see them. And with the light reflecting off the wall, it’s not blinding like if it was pointed at me. I’ve had other lighting setups that made my lighting better for the video, but this setup does well enough and is my favorite setup so far considering my other preferences. I also have Hue ceiling lights and a Hue light switch, so it’s nice that I can create a “Meeting” scene, click the remote, and all of the lights automatically get set to the color and brightness that I want. There are probably cheaper options and I do feel like Hue lights are overpriced. But since I already use Hue, it’s nice to have it in one app and controlled by a single click.

I love the Philips Hue Play Bars, as I have the Hue application that syncs content on my Samsung TV with the lights. Additionally, Philips added the capability (via firmware update) to include my regular Hue color bulbs in the scene, so I can have potentially five different colors depending on the content. The play bars are set up with two at the bottom of the TV and one on top, with the two regular color bulbs to the sides of the couch. It makes watching TV or playing games much more immersive, and after using them with video or gaming content, it seems weird to not have it synced. You can also use these with the Hue Play Sync box, but that was a more expensive solution for my needs.

Easy to install. Easy to connect to Philips Hue app. It created a wonderful aura to our environment to add more light and/or accent lighting.

10/10. If you’re a gamer, you NEED these. Not want, NEED. Especially, if you’re a sim racer/flier. Get four of these puppies and out two above you (yes, so the light casts down on you) and two behind your monitor splashed against the wall and be amazed. If the Hue app on PC fails on you, fret not. Download, SimHub, and set the lights up there, then fire it up every time you want your hue lights to mimic its section of the screen. I can’t imagine gaming without these!!

Beware! You need to have the power adapter (sold separately) or buy the listing with the "base kit". I had to buy the power adapter separately, I found a 3rd party one for under $20. That said I love the hue ecosystem and this light lit up my bedroom wonderfully. So far the 3m adhesive worked well. I would prefer if it came with drywall screws and a smaller bracket, I'll have to do all that myself.

As long as you have the base kit, this is a great way to add more flexible ambeant lighting to your TV or gaming PC.

The package arrived without a power plug. I checked the "What's in the Box" section on the packaging, and it was not listed as an included item. It appears that the power plug must be purchased separately from a third party. However, there was no indication on the product listing page that this was required. I am completely disappointed.

Funcionales para lo que son

Love them! THEY WORK GREAT! Just download the app on your PC and use the TV as your monitor 😀 for a full lighted experience! ❤️ so easy!

Cuidado al comprarlo, es una barra extra, no tiene la conexión a la corriente, es una barra adicional, si ya tienen las 2 barras con la caja de corriente y quieren una extra es muy buena opción, yo la compré a muy buen precio y queda perfecta con las otras dos barras detrás de mi tv, le dan una imagen de decoración muy buena a la tv

I loved the product but unfortunately due to the rapid declining poor customer service i have decided to cancel my account I habe slways felt that the best customer service I habe ever had was with Amazon but recent transaction has left a horrible scar and I hope nobody else endures this but if you shop here like I did you will soon find out that this once small company that I bive built their trillion dollar company from what I considered the best customer serviced I have ever had now do not need to meet those expectations. Way to go Amazon. Likely this will not get posted because Amazon will want to let people find out the hard way so if not I will find another way to voice my opinion and if it does get posted it just a warning for anyone who has been long time customer

Excelente producto, un poco caro pero funciona muy bien, se configura muy facil
