The features of these lights come with are great
I bought the Philips Hue Smart Play Light Bar Base Kit, Black – White & Color Ambiance LED to add some ambiance to my gaming setup. I have to say, I am very impressed with the quality and performance of these lights. They are easy to set up, sync with the Hue Bridge and app, and work with many games and apps that support Hue Sync. The colors are vibrant, the brightness is adjustable, and the effects are immersive. I love how they can create a dynamic lighting scene that matches the mood and action of the game.The only downside is that these lights are quite expensive compared to other LED strips or lamps. They cost around $130 for a set of two light bars, which is a lot for some mood lighting. However, I think they are worth it for the premium features and compatibility that they offer. They are also very durable and well-made, so they should last for a long time.If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, you might want to check out some of the third-party lights that are compatible with the Hue system. Philips has recently opened up its Hue platform to allow other manufacturers to make lights that work with the Hue Bridge and app. This means you can get some more affordable options that still offer some of the benefits of the Hue ecosystem. However, keep in mind that these lights might not have the same quality, reliability, or functionality as the official Hue products.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the Philips Hue Smart Play Light Bar Base Kit. They are a great addition to my gaming setup and they create a fantastic atmosphere. They are definitely on the pricey side, but they are worth it for the features and performance that they deliver. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to enhance their gaming experience with some smart lighting.

Works as a video conference light (reflected off wall)
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 donât like lights shining in my face, and like a clear workspace. So with these mounted behind my monitor, I donât see them. And with the light reflecting off the wall, itâs not blinding like if it was pointed at me. Iâve 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 itâs nice that I can create a âMeetingâ 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, itâs nice to have it in one app and controlled by a single click.

Great lights like all hue, a bit expensive
If you have any hue lights before you get these, you know what to expect. They’re physically solid, well packaged, and function exactly as you expect. They have a base which can be mounted on the bottom so the lights face straight up, or on the smallest end, so the lights stand up and face horizontally. I put one behind my couch and one on a shelf, both facing up to light the wall behind my couch.They connected without trouble to my hue bridge. They’re what I would call a “medium” brightness – they’re fine for accent lighting but not bright enough for the pair to serve as the main lighting for a room. For the price, I wish they were a bit brighter.

The Best LED Lights?
I was between this product and GROVE LED Lights, what made me purchase this product was the lights would have a higher maximum brightness and were supposed to be higher quality. Also I have a positive relationship with Philips brand over a variety of products, this was my first LED Light purchase.The lights come with a versatile and easy to use mounting system supported by 3M tape and allen key adjustment for the bases, you can arrange them in a variety of ways. The lights can be controlled via the Philips HUE app, and require a bridge to connect via ethernet to your internet router, the source of the app and the bridge connection must be on the same network in order for it to work. Other LED smart systems do not use wifi. Philips HUE offers a lot of connections up to like 72 lights per bridge.App is super easy to use when you have set it up, you can do a lot of stuff with it and anyone interested should seek out youtube videos showing the full features of the lights, after about 4 weeks with the lights I’m really happy with the purchase, I have the lights mounted on the back of my monitor. They come with great preset options for work, play, general browsing and different times of the day and settings, some of the color schemes you can get out of the bars are really great, the lights are also strong enough to provide solid lighting that you can really feel and benefit/enjoy during daytime. I only have the two LED Bars, but I am definitely considering purchasing more HUE products and specifically a third light bar.I do not think that this product is the best value for money available, especially because the bridge is not included in this kit and retails for $60. I was lucky I found the bridge on sale for around $25, which tipped the decision for me to purchase this product over others, if you’re considering more budget options, you can definitely look at other products for similar performance, if you dont mind paying more, HUE has some cool beneifts.Be aware, cable management required!

I use this light bar to wake me up early morning especially now that the days are getting shorter and it’s dark early morning. There are beautiful tranquil colors to choose from as well as bright and energetic ones. Only pity is the the bridge wasn’t included and it was sold out online as well. It took a bit of runaround to find one in order to program the different settings for sunset, sunrise and auto on/off. However, now that it’s set up, it works exactly as intended. Great product!

I have been using hue lights for quite some time and I decided it was time to upgrade and add a few new bars. I have never seen the white models and I do like it but I find it strange the base / back is still black. This is a good deal, I bought a used pack and they were perfect.
