Philips Hue Gradient Smart LED Lightstrip, 75 Inch

As we all know, you do pay a premium for all Hue products - but each time I've handed over money and grumbled, I always end up being blown away by the quality and ease of setup for all products in the Hue ecosystem. Note: In my example video, you can see that the strip is syncing to the content being displayed on the TV - you sadly won't be able to do this with the strip alone, you'll also need to purchase (another hefty sum!) the Hue Sync Box (I'm using the latest 8K version in this example, though the original will suit most needs). But the results are fantastic, and really pulls you in to any content you're watching. Also worth noting that I had been using the strip without the sync box for nearly 2 months (the newest version of the sync box only came out a few weeks ago) and even just using it as a backlight for ambient lighting was worth the investment of the strip alone. I do use Hue bulbs across my living room, so having them all working to set the mood and merge together is wonderful. Especially with the TV strip bouncing off the wall behind, and casting a glow. Setup was a breeze and is easily possible for one person to install. You basically stick the mounts for the strip onto the back of the TV, clip in the light strip, attach the power adapter (which I stuck on the back of my TV with some mounting tape shown in one of my pictures) and add the device in the Hue app. After that, you're all set to go. Since the initial purchase; I've added the Sync Box, incorporate the strip into new scenes, and setup lots of specific home automation to control it all. I now just speak to either Alexa or Siri and it all connects and adjusts as needed - a bit tedious to setup, but worth the hassle in the end. Would definitely purchase this again if needed, and happily advise a friend/family member to do the same. Really blown away by it, but a very expensive hobby that you never thought you'd get sucked in: home lighting!

Could have purchased cheaper alternatives but opted for the Philips due to quality and ease of use . The dotless light is fantastic and fitting to sony series 8ii was an absolute breeze but you will need the sync box to achieve full functionality. I also purchased the hue ambient Downlights along with the bridge pro . Totally transformed how I watch movies etc on my tv . Expensive package but well worth it especially if your into watching a lot of movie’s & series on tv .

love philips hue stuff and i think its worth the extra ££ and feel better qulity than Govee and the other brandss

Second time lucky with these ! At the price I paid I would have expected them to work but after an hour of trying to get them to connect they only lit up half the way !!! Disappointing Anyhow they were returned and replaced with exactly the same and bingo they connected straight away and lit up beautifully Worth the drama in the end

Overall I really like the effect these lights create with both streaming and gaming content. I'm glad I have them but they are not without issues. Positives 1. Overall effect of the lights is great. Very high quality lighting that matches the output of the TV image with a very good accuracy. 2. The colours the lights produce are really great, feel high quality and are very pleasing. 3. If you have a TV that is compatible with the Hue app, they can be used with a smart TV's built-in streaming services (as opposed to needing an external streaming box). Negatives 1. These fall off the back of the TV much more often than is desirable (i.e. never). I have a Samsung TV which is compatible with the Hue app, but the TV itself has a back that is covered with ridges in the plastic. This makes it hard for the sticky pads holding the lights on to actually adhere properly - thus they can fall off with annoying regularity. So I'd suggest inspecting the back of your TV before buying these to ensure they can be attached securely. 2. Expensive for a strip of LED lights. 3. Lights can feel a but laggy and don't react to image changes as fast as they could. I expect this is to prevent lots of rapid changes (though I'm not sure), but it does stop them matching the image lighting as well as they could. 4. Require additional expensive sync box, or (for best results) a subscription to the Hue TV app (this is relatively affordable, but still annoying to have to pay a fee every month to actually be able to use the lights you've already purchased. I do like it better than the previous optional of paying nearly £200 for an app, mind you). 5. If your only option is a sync box, then the lights will only work with content that is sent through that box (eg. Apple TV box or games console), so streaming services that are built-in to your smart TV will not work with these lights. So overall, if they work for your set-up and you have the cash to spare, these are great, but there are enough annoyances to prevent a wholehearted recommendation.

I love this product. I am using it with Hue Samsung TV app and a friend is using it with an app on LG TV

Colour is great, easy set up and synchs well with the synch box, it does improve the living room, however the adhesive that attaches the clips to the back of the TV isn’t very good and they are constantly falling off meaning the strip falls with it and due to that the connections inside the strip have broken and we now have a couple of large blue chunks where the corners are that’s stuck blue. This can be resolved by putting pressure (I’ve wedged cardboard under it) through the strip but it’s not a brilliant fix. I probably wouldn’t buy one again unless they bought out a new improved version 2 with better soldering inside to prevent it breaking easily at the smallest of drops. I do think this product is overpriced for what it is having owned one with the issues I’ve had with it.

Bought this with a hue bridge and using with Samsung built in Philips app (don’t need the sync box) as already own a Philips Ambilight TV had for nearly 18 years and missed this feature when upgraded previously to a Samsung 55” in the lounge and moved Philips to another room. Looking at hue kit for a while but now have upgraded the TV with the built in app decided to go for it and very happy with the results as works seamlessly and saves money not having to purchase additional box. Comparing direct to Ambilight TV it would be easy to forget this is not a Philips TV except for having to use the app instead of remote to turn on and off. Worth the investment as previously looked at cheap kits which are no match for this, so glad Philips made this available, quality matches costs. If you are looking for this feature it enhances TV experience and would wholeheartedly recommend investing if you’re not in a position to purchase a Philips TV.

Ich hatte bislang einen 55 Zoll LG Fernseher auf einem Sideboard stehen. Hinter dem Sideboard ein Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip, mit eingestellten starren Farben, welcher die Wand hinter dem TV anstrahlte. War ok, aber nicht wow. Nun kam ein neuer LG TV mit 65 Zoll ran, welchen ich diesesmal mit einer preiswerten Halterung an die Wand schraubte. Zum unteren Hue Strip kam nun noch der hiesige 65 Zoll Strip an den TV. Das Ambilight beider Strips lasse ich über die Philips Hue App am LG TV laufen. Und nun: Wow!!! Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass der Effekt so eine einschlagende Wirkung erzeugt. Ein ordentlichen 4K HDR Video auf YouTube und der Farbeffekt um den TV herum lässt einem regelrecht die Kinnlade runterklappen. Fazit: Ist zwar teuer, aber ich finde, die Anschaffung lohnt sich. Edit: Nach ein paar Tagen: Bin soweit zufrieden. Solange man gutes Filmmaterial ohne Streifen oben und unten hat, ist der Strip wirklich gut. Beim normalen abendlichen Fensehen und schlechter Qualität (Private mit ihrem üblen SD) ist der Effekt eher nervig. Dafür habe ich eine konstante Farbszene erstellt. Die Wand hinter dem TV wird jetzt gleichmäßiger ausgestrahlt, es wirkt harmonischer, als wenn sich nur ein langer Strip unterhalb des TV hinter dem Sideboard befindet. Ich gebe immer noch eine Kaufempfehlung.

Super!!!

Producto altamente testado y conocido por toda la comunidad. Ofrece todas las ventajas de pertenecer a la familia hue, buen acabado, buen grosor iluminación, versatilidad, modos y conexión en tiempo real con aparatos hdmi(junto a hue box 2.1). También sirve de luz de referencia para evitar tantos reflejos o el malestar de una luz directa al jugar. Muy buen producto lo único a fecha de mi adquisición no existía una version 48 pulgadas y tuve que comprar la 55 y adaptarlo, por lo demás genial, los adhesivos eso si fallan un poco después de unos meses pero en general su desempeño en series, tv y juegos es fantástica te olvidas de que está y luego si no lo enciendes notas que falta algo

Precisa saber que se a sua televisão não for da philips vc vai precisar pagar mais de 600 reais para poder usar a sincronização e que vc também vai precisar de um hub da philips
