Doesn't work properly

The extension does its job of "extending" the gradient light bar, but doesn't do it very well. The first section of the expansion has many problems getting the right color even in the same color system. This is very noticeable in night light mode as can be seen in the attached image. At first I thought I got a bad one so I sent it back. However, my replacement behaves exactly the same. I need to attach a curtain and hide them to keep using this. This is very strange and I hope a software update

Pros
  • Brilliantly done
Cons
  • Little things

Amazing product but not up to date

The lighting on this product is really amazing and the spread is great. My problem is that I need two 3ft sections that are separate from each other (bar shelves). I was hoping I could find a way to separate the sections and solder a connector between them like most LED systems do. Alternatively, I'd like to be able to connect the extension to the main block's controller box. Unfortunately, none of these options are possible. So I would have to pay 2 x $180 ($360) to light two three foot…

Much brighter than the previous strip

Philips Hue Bluetooth Gradient Ambiance Smart Lightstrip 2m/6ft Basic Kit with Plug (Multicolored strip, works with Apple Homekit and Google Home), White, 570556 Much brighter than previous LED Der bright part inside is much more visible compared to the previous version. The small transparent plastic cap on the extension side is also easy to remove when adjusting the strip position. Works with the hue playback system to the point where only the first and third zones on the hue playbox strip if…

  • Fingers crossed

I'm on the fence about it.

I have an old generation lightbar so I decided to give this a try. The first generation can only be one color, but this shows up in the Tint app as 3 lights that can be different colors and brightnesses. That is very cool. But the light strip itself isn't as easy to install as the previous generation because it's not as flexible. I'll echo some of the previous reviews, if you have a long flat area you want to install then great. Whether you want it to curve and turn corners, or climb and climb…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Some flaws

Efficient but expensive.

Hue products are bulletproof modern LEDs and their price reflects this. This is a capable light bar from Hue, and as you'd expect from Hue, it does certain things that no other light bars can currently do. Key strengths are: 1) Works with direct Bluetooth or through a Hue hub. It doesn't require a Hue hub to work. 2) Has the ability to blend the color of light and the level of light output along its length (hence the name "gradient"), working with a maximum of three colors. Watch the product…

Great features: lights and ceiling fans

The light is fantastic, well glued to my new solid walnut bed frame. I originally intended to place them under kitchen cabinets, but Litcessory said it would be a year before compatible extensions and other gradient stripe fixtures became available. Not wanting to waste them by leaving them lying around for a year until then, I bought extra extensions and placed them around my new king bed (pictured is my old queen mattress) on the bed until my new king mattress arrives . . I've set them to…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Poor set

Works great with Hue Hub, 3 gradients

Ridiculous price tag aside, this is a near-perfect Hue product. I won't go into price in this review, but it's definitely the first thing that struck me compared to other LED strips that don't work with the Hue Hub. Setting up my existing Hue network took less than a minute after I plugged it in and once you add it to the room every automation includes this strip and it just works with whatever color you set it to and has also quite nice, pure white. The strip is about 6 feet long and can be…

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
Cons
  • A few minor things

Another great Hue product

I already have V1 and V4 light bars, I bought two of these base kits and two extensions, I attached two extensions to one base kit for a total of 12 feet for a round window . , another basic kit replaces the V4 on the chimney. Here's my take: Good: Installation was easy. Worked great with Homekit and iConnectHue Extensions worked great. They increased the length of the three simultaneously supported colors. The coolest thing is that each color had transitions between them. For example, red next

Pros
  • Weight

  • Not all will fit

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

The tape is quite thick, but I managed to break it by forcibly bending it 90 degrees. Broke inside and stopped working. I had to buy a new tape.

Pros
  • Convenient connection to Philips Hue bridge. As soon as I plugged the tape into the outlet, the Hue app found the tape itself. Tape doesn't get hot!
Cons
  • The connector (extension) from the meter tape is long enough.
