5.0 out of 5 stars worth every penny

This light is expensive compared to the competition, but Hue systems have always been consistently reliable, and their sleek designs let them compliment many settings.This gradient tube is not limited to only being used as a back drop for the TV. I use it on a glass shelf above my TV, as an accent light, to add some mood lights to the shelf, and also light up the glass pane with it. The light itself can be freely rotated, to angle the hotspot to where you need it. That makes it very versatile as a mood light. That's the other thing Hue has, that competitors seem to have difficulty doing. Anyone can make an LED light, but Hue lights excel at creating pastel colors. Competing products can create very bright and vibrant colors, but they consequently have a hard time creating a softer, dimmer, palette of colors. That is why Hue lights are amazing as mood lights, for when I don't want my space lit up obnoxiously with neon colors in the evening. When you dim a Hue light to 1%, it really is nearly dark and barely visible.When used as a TV light, this light has 3 zones: left middle and right. My experience with using the PC version of the Hue Sync app and playing a Fluid Sim video is that the color matching is fairly accurate, but it is limited to those 3 zones. I do not see a gradual transition between the zones, so the light doesn't blend gradient colors together for Hue Sync, as it would when you are using a normal effect on the light. A sweeping red light moving across the 3 zones will not transition smoothly across them, but light up each 1/3 of the tube red as it passes by. Not a big deal, but it is a limitation to be aware of, if you're expecting the color transitions along the tube to be smooth in a Hue Sync setup.All in all, for the price I paid, I got an amazing mood light, and a fairly decent TV ambilight. I would consider that 2 products for the price of one. My first Hue bulbs were purchased in 2018, and they still work great now, 7 years later. I think that should be a fairly good indicator of how reliable Hue products are, and why that consistent reliability should be a consideration when looking at the price.

Not working, bad design

Not working right out of box. Too many small parts, could be any of them defective

Esta línea Hue es una fantasía, los ambientes que puedes crear junto con tu asistente de voz son excelentes.

Perfect for a TV light setup.

The most recent addition to a Philips hue light setup, using a hue sync box. 100% worth the money, provides better an impressive colour gradient and is very customizable. I will likely purchase another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can be used with Hue SYNC PC app, the hue sync box is not needed.

So I've been using one of these for a while now and added the 2nd one to my PC gaming setup.One is mounted on shelf above my monitor facing downwards towards the wall and one is hanging off the back of my desk with some 3d printed hooks facing upwards towards the wall.I also have two hue play bars hanging off my 27" monitor so everything is pretty much covered.They all work perfectly together as one entertainment zone (what the groups are called in Hue Sync app).The light they output is fantastic for gaming, movies, etc. And fully adjustable via the hue sync phone app or hue sync app for PC.I leave these two automated to sync with whatever is on my PC screen unless I'm doing work.6/26/24:So the replacement came and it was shipped in just the retail packaging with an Amazon label slapped on it.Seriously???Box was all beat up, but not totally destroyed.However, the light was fine and worked perfectly.I'm updating my stars from 2 to 5. All product lines have QC issues and I seem to have struck one with my other order. This order was solely an Amazon issue of not being shipped in a shipping box.6/23/24:I already have the white version of this and didn't have any problems from unboxing or constant use.When I took this black version out of the box, I immediately knew something was wrong.The corded end was very loose where the tube rotates in the socket. Like it wasn't factory inserted correctly or came loose during shipping. It had a lot of play in a direction it's not supposed to move.The non-corded end was fine though.After contacting Amazon support I have a replacement on the way.Please learn from my mistake of almost waiting past the the return window and OPEN/CHECK THE LAMP as soon as you get it.

We love these lights for under our TVs. They are sleek, easy to install and really add light to the room. We have had a few of these and they all are amazing
