Review on Philips Hue Play White and Color Smart Light - Single Base Kit with Hub & Power Supply (Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Home) by Nick Moody

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Plunged into the market of the best lamps and lighting accessories

So. I pre-ordered them and received a notification the day they were released that they had shipped. The next day I received a notification that they would be arriving a day early. GREAT. On the day they were supposed to arrive, I received a notification that they were backordered and asked to authorize a full month delay. Serious? They arrived a month later but couldn't find any fasteners to install them. I contacted Philips directly and they informed me not very kindly that they do NOT supply parts. I think I'll just have to send them back. They seem to work fine but I wasn't able to attach them to the back of the TV to test it. Since lighting is VERY location and orientation dependent, it's really hard to say anything about it. They shine. As others have pointed out, both plug into the same power source, which wasn't obvious when I pre-ordered. This can be seen from the photos in the current listing. Maybe an update after I get a replacement and can install it.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
