I have one behind my 65" tv along with other color lightbulbs and it makes my environment so relaxing. I come home on Friday nights to a cold beer, I put some music on youtube, and I feel like I am in a lounge!
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
I was gonna say that too. Velcro a powerstrip under your desk, plug in your stuff and then wrap the cords together using a glueless tape. Do it so the bundle of cords is up under your desk or behind something on your desk. Then you only have one cord going down to the plug.
*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
Just bought the Tap switch this week, it is expensive but integrates perfectly with HomeKit and Philips customer support was easy to deal with when one of my bulbs died. My biggest complaint with them would be the Hue app for iOS. The older app, which is still available on the store, has 3 times the functionality of the new app. You can't do basic tasks with the new app like create scenes or adjust brightness of the built-in scenes.
I was looking for a LED strip recently and naturally the Hue came to mind. But that huge power brick was a no go. I got a USB powered LED strip instead. It's not as nice and no App control but it was not even $20 so it's OK.
Did you connect the Lightstrip to the app or to the bridge to operate the color switching? I'm thinking about if it is possible to operate the lightstrip without the bridge
Just bought one of these beautuys on Amazon I've also bought the Philips hue starter kit a while ago and filled my entire house with the hue bulbs and some of the multi colour bulbs got a sweet gaming set up so gonna put these lights behind my unit.
She already got the Hue 3rd gen bulbs wired through Alexa, I have a platform bed with big running boards that go all the way around and I was thinking about getting some of these to shine on the floor.
I had it for about a month before the tape on the strip fell off unfortunately. Luckily enough I can just get some better mounting tape for about 15 bucks for 15ft of it so not bad. The strip itself is amazing though!
This does look very simple to set up, I just really wish that you could measure the places that you need to put the strips and order them by measurement that would be ideal. To be able to put them everywhere I want to in my house and have to cut and waste is just not worth it for me.
Can you set it as an alarm light to turn on at a specific time? Can you make start at the lowest intensity and slowly intensify the light in a course of 10 minutes, like a sunrise?
found it.... this -> www.amazon.com/G-Technology-G-DRIVE-mobile-Pro-0G10311/dp/B07CTF9CRR/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1546584535&sr=8-2&keywords=G-Drive%2BMobile%2BPro%2BSSD&linkCode=sl1&tag=youtube-bnjm-20&linkId=c8eb11e633f30cc5df567755e622761a&th=1&psc=1
I'm going to need around 22' to do the top of my cabinets, so the kit comes with a total length of light strips 6 1/2'? Do they sell extra lengths of lighting and could I hook enough together to get my 22' ? Thanks for posting, John
Nope need to buy another kit and the power supply only works for up to 10m so your shit out of luck there unless you know what your doing. and for 29 dollars you can get the connect to connect two other then together. PHILIPS + price gouging keep researching for a better alternative
Reason I was asking is cause I was wanting to put some of these around the area of my room and I've got 504 inches I need to do so i thought it would work better if i could connect the strips to one another

jesse sanchez that’s sounds amazing
U living the best life
Amazing bro !!!
will it sync with the videos/music without the hue bridge?
Can you sync it with your tv so it changes colour according to what’s on the tv? Or is that only pc

The cable management needs some love

Yeah, someone give him a cable ties for Christmas.
LazerC4 lmao that’s literally why i came to the comments i wanted to see if it was just me and at the top of the comment section was this
Yes pls
I'm definitely a big fan of the Hue LightStrip Plus. I have a couple of them here in the house, and the HomeKit compatibility is fantastic.
Are they useful or do they just look fancy?
How many meters is this..?
Can I connect them if i want a longer strip?
Andru Edwards
That’s an expensive setup
*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
I've been postponing this purchase for years, but I feel that the right time has come. Thanks for this convincing vide, Jeff.
Same
A Gh of course it was
Doesn’t mention that you need the bridge to change the colour.
i think you can buy bluetooth strips and bulbs which don’t require a bridge but require a phone or tablet with bluetooth

My neighbors got professionals to setup these light strips in their walkway and they look really cool at night, they have cool light show on Christmas
Wait if I cut the led and make it Into strips I'm going to need multiple power adapters ????
i'm getting my brother's big custom wood desk and i'm thinking of putting this light strip on it, i bet it's gonna look awesome

HEY so you dont need a Hue Bridge to control the lighting?
love hue lights of philips... great quality product
only thing to complain is... it's insanely overpriced!!!
Expensive yes but I would say not over priced given the quality of the products.
$5 you can get similar lights at walmart, are they as good no but for $5 good enough
Kazunari Yoshikuni , not overpriced, the quality is excellent had mine going on 8 years with no problems.
it may seem expensive, which i must say it is, but it's definitely worth the price. i've had mine for around 5 years and they'e holding up really well
Just bought one of these beautuys on Amazon I've also bought the Philips hue starter kit a while ago and filled my entire house with the hue bulbs and some of the multi colour bulbs got a sweet gaming set up so gonna put these lights behind my unit.
Hey I got that same Smith & Wesson knife
*great taste*
If you have the Hue Bridge 2.0 you can also use this with Amazons Echo Alexa etc.
Important question. Are you able to set the light on a schedule? I want to out it over my bed and set it to turn on in the morning
She already got the Hue 3rd gen bulbs wired through Alexa, I have a platform bed with big running boards that go all the way around and I was thinking about getting some of these to shine on the floor.
Jesus that power adapter is frigging HUGE.
Do I need a HUE bridge to conect the LED strip to the app on my mobile phone?
Mario T. Yes, otherwise its basically useless
"I'm confident that *almost* anyone could install this successfully."
...wait. lets see if i can get this in here...🤣
Awesome Strip Light Easy To Set Up And Easy To Fit In My Home I Have Philips Hue Every Where In My Home
thanks for the info. I am on my way to Bestbuy.
This guy really, really likes these lights.
That cable management doe 😂😂
I had it for about a month before the tape on the strip fell off unfortunately. Luckily enough I can just get some better mounting tape for about 15 bucks for 15ft of it so not bad. The strip itself is amazing though!
The double sided tape is definitely a weak point. It’s rubbish considering the price you pay for the light strip.
Recently got these and now they have bluetooth control! So now I don’t really need a bridge (even if I already got it)
This does look very simple to set up, I just really wish that you could measure the places that you need to put the strips and order them by measurement that would be ideal. To be able to put them everywhere I want to in my house and have to cut and waste is just not worth it for me.
Where is that red light coming from! Set up looks good👍🏽
Quick Q: Can you turn the brightness down on the app for these? I want this but I want it to be more subtle and less blinding
Cable management OCD Triggered 😂😂😂
Do i need a bridge?
Hey Jeff, what's that desklamp you are using? I've seen it in a couple of videos...
what if you bought many can you control them at the same time
how did you do a test on this product and not go over the smart link feature? ....
How you connected the phone to the light I don’t understand how you did
It just automatically picks up the light on the app (like how Bluetooth works) and you click a button on the bridge to connect it.
You need a bridge
can u change the color without using an app on the phone? please respond
Can you use the Philipps Hue Strips without the Bridge ?
ruzzell907 nope
So with these going around the ceiling corners of my room would they be bright enough to light all it of it on white like a ceiling light?
can i use this standalone? without philips bridge and the others
Do you need to have a hue bridge to control the lightstrip with you’re smartphone (Hue App or Apple HomeKit) ?
Are they cheap to run on the power?
Do you need a hub/ bridge or can you just use it through the app
wonderful video
Is it flickers on camera? In normal shutter speed?
hey uhm if you stick them on your wall will it pull the paint off?
I use that same exact knife for unboxing stuff
Is the advisable for primary lighting?
Can this be used with echo dot thanks
Can you set it as an alarm light to turn on at a specific time? Can you make start at the lowest intensity and slowly intensify the light in a course of 10 minutes, like a sunrise?
Yes
I bought a light strip but then i found out i needed a hub :(
Same :(
Jeff great review.
What do you have plugged into your IPad?
found it.... this -> www.amazon.com/G-Technology-G-DRIVE-mobile-Pro-0G10311/dp/B07CTF9CRR/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1546584535&sr=8-2&keywords=G-Drive%2BMobile%2BPro%2BSSD&linkCode=sl1&tag=youtube-bnjm-20&linkId=c8eb11e633f30cc5df567755e622761a&th=1&psc=1
Do u need the hue bridge to operate the light strip or can I just download the app and use it?
Wow Amazing
How far is the lightstrips away from wall..I am worried about my desk being too close and diminishing the glow
Do you need to have the hub to control the lights?
That's AWESOME!
What is the lead length from the plug to the strip
what is the name of that thunderbolt 3 he showed at the end and what does it do?
but does it have wave mode where it goes through all the colors much like any rgb gaming product?
It’s a everyday video but yet so helpful lol
where was the pink light source located? on the ceiling?
good vid! what boom arm is that
?
Maybe a good reason to keep walls white, or at least a neutral tone that can reflect the ambient lighting as opposed to dark blue or red room.
Are they addressable LEDs? Can it show multiple colors at once, play color animations?
Lucian Andries no
what desk does he have?
Do u need the bridge so it can change colors ? Cause if yes this product just lied to me .
love your channel .. keep going
I'm going to need around 22' to do the top of my cabinets, so the kit comes with a total length of light strips 6 1/2'? Do they sell extra lengths of lighting and could I hook enough together to get my 22' ? Thanks for posting, John

How do you set up the app. It doesn’t make sense
Can I add it connect to another hub such as Samsung SmartThing?
Is there any light which only work on DC current means without controller
It's necessary to have the HUB?
This video was great until you showed us your wire management...
Can you use the Samsung Hub to control these ?
do you need the bridge for it
What is that for an light over the Desk? Philips too?
Does it work on Android phones Or just apple?
Cool Video Geoff!
i really want these but it too expensive
Can u add additional strips on to that one or do u haft to get another system and set it up
Reason I was asking is cause I was wanting to put some of these around the area of my room and I've got 504 inches I need to do so i thought it would work better if i could connect the strips to one another
Wait so the gen 2 doesn't work w/ gen 1 hub or vice versa?
Great voice.
can i plug this into my msi motherboard?
Hi,, u just intsall philips hue strips with blue colour. But where the purple colour come from at the same time??
If you go to 4:00, you can see that he has another lamp on his desk.
Did he have to use a bridge or what because I got some and I don’t have a bridge
Looks great!
Philips the best.
Thanks for the video. It answered my questions :)
So is the Philips Hue Bridge required to control the lights with the app?
yes
without the bridge you cant use ist at all
Can I use this strip without the bridge?
Wrong the strip is no different then any other rgb strip you just need a controller which can be hand any where
You can but if you have the bridge you can connect it with so many other things like Alexa which is what I did and its amazing
Tri-Angle Production how can you use it without the bridge
Unfortunately not.
K1ngTh1ZeN Good point. Anything is possible of one is willing. :-)
Just wondering if you can control the lighting from the app without the hue bridge?
Evan Costello nope
Is there a way to extend this with a normal RGB light strip ? 😬
Does this requirement a hub to get to connect to app?
I don’t know how to change the colors, can anyone help?
does it have a wave option?
Very good product
Bitchin
nice review
