Works perfectly! for LED strips

Works as expected, easy extender chain and nice app. Use external clips from 3M Commander. This allows you to reach tighter corners without the strip coming loose when the TV gets hot. See my photos for context.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Speed

Not compatible with Hue main light bar

As previously mentioned, the pins on this extension DO NOT connect to the main light bar you wish to extend. They are shorter and closer together so the pins on them can't fit into the female end of the main lightstrip. The included plug doesn't help as it uses the same holes closer together. It's disappointing that comparability varies between color strips. Now we have to find the right sentence.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Without a doubt the best RGB strips on the market.

My wife and I use Philips Hue lights throughout the house, both indoors and outdoors. more than enough, and the Hue app is flawless in our opinion. Very easy to use and also pretty reliable as we never had any bugs in the app. 10/10, highly recommend if you are looking to take your home to the next level!

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Protection

Phillips is just fed up with this move

Philips launches a BRAND NEW and INCONSISTENT light strip. Do you call it the same? Yes, it's still Philips Hue Light Strip Plus. Seriously, check every word in those boxes. Are the same images of connectors glued to boxes with different types of battens? Yes, check it yourself. Is there some magical connection to make these two guys work together? No, I made one myself and they are not compatible. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCT PACKAGING? This is just wrong!

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Almost never

Pay attention to the version compatibility!

I have purchased several pedestals for different areas of my home through Revain, but I have not been able to find extension strips anywhere. I was only able to purchase 5 through Walmart and they are a different version and have a completely different connector! I only found out that there are different versions after a thorough search in the forums on the Internet, which I don't think is noticeable when buying. I now have 3 base stations and there is no way to buy an extension light band and…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Obsolete

Compatibility Issues

Wow, Phillips should VERY OBVIOUSLY indicate on purchase that they will not work with some versions of the base kit. What they don't mention is that if you have previous light bars, these new ones most likely DO NOT WORK. Plugs are not the same size at all and the only way to find out is to order them, open them up and try to plug them in. t. So please pay attention to the plug type, otherwise you need to send back or buy a second socket.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • No Instructions

IF you already have Hue Lightstrips, be careful!

I'm upset enough to return the product. For some reason the connectors have been moved a little closer together in this updated version of the light bars. This means that none of the previous light bar extensions can be connected to this new light bar. I have a Phillips color bar and bought a couple of extensions to get the perfect look. I had 1 expansion left and decided to take another of their base and just use the old expansion. Obviously the 2020 version of the light is slightly different…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Negative gift

When expanding this light bar, keep compatibility in mind.

I'm not sure what happened here. I ordered this light strip as a bluetooth controlled device. It works as advertised, but I can't extend it due to incompatible extensions. I tried adding a 40 inch strip and as I have shown in my drawings they don't match at all. I received an old product? I ordered the original kit from Amazon and the extension from Home Depot. Both appear to be Philips products but the Amazon product does not have 3M tape on the back. Be careful when ordering. I will post a…

Pros
  • Best in my niche
Cons
  • I'll add later

Just good but "flexible " addition to the Hue line

I have several other Hue lights at home so I decided to try these. First, all Hue products are expensive and this is no exception. Yes, you get a 6 inch LED strip which is many times more expensive than other LED strips. I'm assuming you're paying for a Hue app/ecosystem that's actually very user-friendly (though admittedly very basic) yet relatively bug-free and reliable. Works perfectly with the application. If your device is within range of your home transmitter, you can locate it and start…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • are unreliable
