DO NOT BUY USED/REFURBISHED!

Like many here, I took the risk. I bought a new one and it was sealed with Revain tape. This has been used. The brightness is ok but I don't think it's worth the money. Just buy the setup from Bestbuy or any other electronics store. At least they're selling a new one.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • So far so good

Amazing light strips, the best for illuminating pictures and displays

One of my best buys, syncing with the Hue app is super easy. Once you figure out the mounting mechanism for attaching lighting fixtures around the TV, you're done. These are some third-party apps that you can use to sync Spotify/Apple music with lights and have a party. Fun!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Problems

Warning: Not compatible with previous versions

Previously purchased and used Hue light bars, bulbs etc. New light bars and hub installed. THISSYSTEM is not backwards compatible with my previous system and I only discovered this after installing a new hub and updating the software. What now, start two hubs? pathetic.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Minor issues

Great start to a smarter future

The packaging was pretty rough - I can understand why some people think they are getting used product as I'm still not 100%, mine aren't used either lol. (For example, the lack of an adhesive tape that seals the packaging). But they work like a dream, and the hub included in the kit lets you get started and add light as you see fit in the future.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • I won't say anything

You won't believe it until you see it for yourself

First of all just incredible. This technique is amazing! If you're buying or considering those cheap $80 camera strips that hang from the front of your TV. Just stop! I did that, nothing compares. By the way, it is expensive and requires many additional parts. You need lights, Hue Bridge, Hue Sync, more lights. That is much! But in my opinion it's worth it. It's great how the exact colors blend into the wall behind the TV and how each color washes onto the wall in each section. Wonderful

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Not Quiet - Lighting and Ceiling Fans

These lights provide a nice ambient light behind my computer monitor. Installing the Philips Hue app and lights was easy. Some cons: Shortly after turning on these bulbs, their plastic casing makes noise as it heats up and expands. The power supply also emits a very quiet hum when the light is switched on. If there are other sources of white noise in your work area, you probably won't notice the noise from these lights, but the noise can be noticeable in a quiet area. I often work withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Legacy model

BUY MORE OF THESE

I was initially skeptical about buying these Hue bulbs due to several negative reviews and especially the price. After I bought them I was worried I wouldn't be impressed but as soon as I plugged them in I was blown away by the brightness! As soon as I synced them to my computer, the real magic began! I had never experienced surround sound lighting so I just exploded when I saw that. It works so well and I am more than happy with my purchase. I went from skeptic to fan. I will definitely beโ€ฆ

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Amazing gaming experience

I received the box with the seals already broken so I assumed it wasn't going to be good to begin with. I opened the box, but there are no fasteners and a wrench. Terribly disappointed. I will update my review depending on how the replacement goes. Update: Having received a completely undamaged replacement I can safely say these headlights are pretty damn cool. I have no experience with bright tones, but they really add more immersion to PC games by using the light sync feature to illuminateโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Updates available
