As a recent convert to smart lighting (I've started replacing bulbs all over the house with Hue smart bulbs), I'd held off on investing in the TV lighting strips, unsure if the experience was worth the relatively high entry cost. Having used the 75 inch strip for several weeks now, I'm happy to say it's a fantastic product and a genuinely brilliant addition to our home entertainment setup, both when watching films and gaming.The initial install and setup is very straightforward- if you have any existing Hue products, you'll know it's a couple of clicks in the app to add it to a room.

I have a custom movie mode set up, which dims all the other hue lights and produces a soft purplish gradient effect from the strip, giving the room a cool cinema-like feel when I'm watching Blade Runner for the millionth time. I also have presets for gaming, with the gradient strip synced to a PS5 via the Hue HDMI box to produce a responsive and accurate colour-matching effect, which really adds to the experience. This is where the gradient strip truly shines and earns its asking price.I would definitely purchase this or similar in future. If you're on the fence as I was previously, I'd say if you're a fan of other Hue products you won't regret buying this one.

Another power cycle and it worked itself out.The app gives you control of brightness and colour, and you can choose from a warm/cold white-only colour wheel, or from one that gives you the whole rainbow of colours. The scenes on the app are really nice, like choosing a 'dawn' type one in the morning. Sorry if this is all really basic stuff but this is the first 'colour changing' Hue lamp we've had!It's very bright when at 100%, and the max output is rated at 20W, so actually quite a lot by today's bulb standards. Maybe something to bear in mind if you plan to leave it 100% for a lot of the time.In summary, it is quite an expensive way of getting some ambient lighting behind the TV, but it is at least well made and the right size to fit the TV. We also have the option to add the sync box at a later date if we want to. Plus there's no doubt it is a quality product, in typical Hue fashion.

The tv light strip comes very neatly packaged; in the box there is the strip, power cable (with a choice of UK and EU plug connectors) and sticky 'brackets' to attach to the back of your television and connect the strip to it. Instructions in the box are minimal but it is fairly self-explanatory. Tip: look for the black arrow on the strip that highlights were the mid-point is and start attaching at that point first. It is easy to miss and will save any worries about the strip being uneven on one side to the other!It requires the Philips Hue Bridge and Hue app to work at all. If you want to be able to have the lights automatically sync to what you are watching or playing, then you will also need the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box.

If you want to be able to have the lights automatically sync to what you are watching or playing, then you will also need the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box. We do not have this yet but I would look to buy in the future. Even without the Sync Box, this was a lovely piece of tech. The range of colours available were amazing and the app provides a selection of pre-set themes for you to quickly get started. Customisation is easy and lots of hours can be enjoyed trying out the various combinations. The static backlighting really created a vibrant mood to enhance tv and films. If you have a smart tv and Spotify, the Spotify app can be linked to the Hue app to sync the music with the tv strip which is really fun!I would suggest combining the tv strip with other lights in the range for a full effect in the room. When using a pre-set theme, each bulb will automatically be adjusted, and it creates a truly vibrant atmosphere.The product is good value for money but if you are buying with the expectation of the fully synced experience, you will need to invest in the HDMI sync box, which I would say makes this less appealing. Personally, I was thrilled with the static options but you should be clear on what you are wanting before you purchase. We have previously tried other brands on the market but this was far superior, and we are now looking to upgrade to more products in the Phillips Hue range.
I was expecting to return this because I didn't think it would fit. It's meant for 55" TVs. However I saw some other folks online that managed to get it to work. Philips says in their instructions that you should place the mounts 2-3 inches from the sides of the TV, however doing so on the 48" OLED would cause the light strips to stick past the bottom of the TV a few inches.The included mounting solution seems to be working well so far. Initially I bought 3 Hue Play Bars to work with the Hue HDMI Sync box. I didn't care for the mounting solution they provided and really needed to get 3 more to get the visual affect I wanted for the distance my TV is from the wall.This lighstrip accomplishes the same without leaving any gaps and since it doesn't stick as far out ... MoreI was expecting to return this because I didn't think it would fit.

While you can see the light strip if you step a few feet to the left or right of the side of the TV, this doesn't bother me as I'm not viewing it from these angles.The design of the back of this OLED does provide a bit of a problem with the bump out on the sides in the middle. However with careful placement I'm confident the lightstrip isn't going to move. It might be helpful to order a couple more mounting brackets used for the side or top to go on those bump outs. I tried double sided sticky tape but it had trouble adhering to the rubberized surface of the back of the lightstrip.For me, the backlighting reduces some eyestrain watching in a dark room. Though hyperspace extending past the edge of my tv is pretty cool.App control is easy, thought I did add control for the Hue HDMI Sync box to my Harmony remote and added easy buttons to the touch screen for adjusting the brightness and intensity so I don't have to grab my phone to turn it on.
I cannot say enough good things about this product it has certainly transformed my viewing experience.It was relatively easy to set up and there are plenty of step by step guides on you tube if you are a bit unsure, then download the app and you are good to go.As my tv is in the corner of my living room and not on my wall, I thought that this may possibly deter from the overall effect however I needn't have worried as it lights up the whole corner and has exceeded all my expectations.The surround colours all blend perfectly and it makes whatever you are watching so much more enjoyable, the accuracy of the colours when syncing with your tv is perfection and brings your TV viewing to a complete new level.

It also gives you the option to have just a solid white light background rather than syncing your tv which I tend to use when watching daytime television.I have read a few peoples reviews regarding how the light strip only covers the top and 2 sides only of the television and it may be better to have a strip for the bottom too, personally I find this better NOT to have a light at the bottom as it would highlight cables which could be distracting. This has certainly given me an insight into how effective mood lighting can be and I am looking forward to adding more Philips Hue products into my life.......yip I'm SOLD.
The packaging of the Play strip was, as with all Hue products, really nicely setup with everything easily accessible and simple to put together. The brackets for the back of the TV were easy to fit (althought took a bit of adjustment to get the exact positioning of the strip correct for the size of TV) and then plugging it in just meant finding an actual plug socket I could use for it.I've got a Play box for the TV connection and once I'd gone through the usual steps of adding my strip to the Hue app setting it up in an entertainment area was really easy as usual. The light from it is reasonably bright but clear enough to give a nice halo effect around the TV and varies in colour around the length of the strip.

When it's hooked up to the Play box and running it's really responsive and gets the colours spot on every time - perfectly matching the colours in the different sections of the screen.All in all it's really been excellent with only one minor quibble - the connection to the power socket at the base of the strip is a little loose which means nudging it can cause the cable to become slightly dislodged and it needs to be plugged in again but given that this only happens occasionally it's something I can live with. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone willing to add a little more to their Hue setup.
Firstly, the packaging is great quality and excites before you even open the box. You know its going to be good...The LED light strip was quick to install; we followed the instructions and the brackets were easy to place on the TV with high quality adhesive. Great idea for leaving less residue when removed. The lightstrip is thick, robust and superb quality compared to other products of a similar type. It literally took minutes to set up which was delightfully surprising as often in my experience things are tricker than you think. The Phillips hue app is really good; very intuitive and I was able to add this to my home system seamlessly. Once switched on there is a range of colours - there is even a fireplace setting - and in the evening I am using this now and ... MoreFirstly, the packaging is great quality and excites before you even open the box.

Sensible too with the current cost of living! I also think that you could use this as a stand alone Phillips Hue product - without the need to have your whole room linked up - so its a great introduction to Phillips Hue. I am the envy of my friends :)
This light strip is an impressive addition to the Hue smart lighting range although it really needs the additional 'Sync Box' (not included) for the full benefit.The lighting strip is well packaged, with clear installation instructions. It doesn't take long to fix the strip to the back of your TV and as long as you get the right size you can't really go wrong - plastic brackets are provided that guide and secure the strip. It runs along the top and two sides, not the bottom.Setup in the Hue app is also easy. We've got a number of other Hue bulbs so also quickly added this to a room setting.I was pleasantly surprised how the effective the strip is in enhancing the ambience of the room.

You can use an array of colours or multi colour scenes to suit, including themed programmes for occasions such as Christmas. The strip has 7 'zones' of which you can choose up to 3 colours to display along it.Our TV is in the corner of the lounge which probably isn't optimal as the lighting is dispersed. It still looks good but would imagine more impactful if it's flat against a wall. Also, one corner is against glass patio doors which does mean that the light strip is very noticeable in the reflection. Just got to remember to draw the curtains!It's a good product to add backlighting in and of itself, but the 'Sync Box' would really bring this to life - with the light strip changing to whatever colours are displayed on the screen. It could well be one of those things that you really didn't think you need, but wouldn't do without.
Decent product. It’s not as great as Philips would have you believe. Perhaps if you lived in an Ikea ad with pure white furniture against pure white satin sheen walls with nothing hanging on the walls or sitting anywhere near your tv, the dynamic impact would be better, but if you don’t live in an all-white sterile environment, the effect is not very noticeable at all.There are two big problems with this product:1. It does not illuminate below the bottom of the screen at all. This leaves out roughly ⅓ of the screen’s perimeter and makes the 3-sides only effect uneven and wonky.2. The sizes listed on the light strip aren’t sized properly for most modern screens. We have a 65” LG CX OLED which should have been an easier fit than most TVs of the same screen size ... MoreDecent product. It’s not as great as Philips would have you believe.

The sizes listed on the light strip aren’t sized properly for most modern screens. We have a 65” LG CX OLED which should have been an easier fit than most TVs of the same screen size as these LGs, as with most other OLEDs, have nearly zero bezel or frame surrounding the screen.Philips’ installation instructions state that the light strip should run the full perimeter of the left, right, and top sides, and that it should be positioned between 5 & 10 cm from the outside edge of the TV (so, roughly 2-4” from the outside edge at most). Instead, the 65” light strip only covers a portion of the 65” OLED’s screen.We had to pull off and reattach the adhesive holders several times to stretch things as much as we could, but in the end, we only managed to get each side to extend down to about 8 inches from the bottom and to get this much of the sides covered, had to move the light strip inward to around 10 inches from the outer edge and even then had to go with a very large radius curve away from the corners to have enough slack to at least make it functional.This means the light strip sits around 4-5 times further from the outer edge of the TV than it is designed to do. This drastically reduces the outward spread of the illumination and in turn causes the colors to blend together.For the VERY expensive price tag, Phillips needs to address both the bottom and sizing issues.In the meantime, if you have a 65 inch OLED, buy the 75 inch light strip.
