Philips Hue Play Light Bar Review & Unboxing: Great Compact, Bright Smart Home Lights

The Philips Hue Play Light Bars are great! They offer a lot of flexibility that you don't get in LED strips or some of the other Philips Bulbs.

I want to state that if you are on the fence about this or the strip that goes behind the monitor, get these first. These Play bars are like twice as bright and vibrant than the strip, but the strip sort of completes it. But you do not need it, assure you, these play bars are more than enough.

Great review! Wish I had the room in our budget to spend on this lighting lol

Do these lights sync with what you’re watching? For instance, do they react/ reflect the lighting on the tv? I want to find ambient lighting that would go with the tv while we’re watching to make it more immersive

Is it possible to make this light turn on and turn off together with a computer monitor? Is it possible to do that without the HDMI sync? Good videos man, short and informative.

So I can use them without hue bridge right? Can I change the color manually with application?

Thanks for the video! How did you get your lights to connect to the app out the box? I can’t get mine to connect

[stayinsway]

Between these and the long ones which would you recommend for a tv compliment?

[humbertoramos]

It dosnt work and I don’t have the serial numbers I put the boxes in trash help me please !!!

Im surprised these are the only product in stores in my country for ambient lights…they don’t seem to have much range? The plastic design feels quite cheap, and oh man the money you have to spend on all the devices and the monitor strip lighting yikes….

How do I manually reset these! No one mentions how?

[vintagescvrlet]

What kind of TVs are compatible with it?

[dreadedroast]

Would be great if they worked, mine aren’t connecting

Hey there, do you need the hub/bridge to connect these to the app or can they be connected via bluetooth?
