Well worth the wait: light strips

So I bought 2 of these sets on sale. They were supposed to arrive on the 2/5 but a week before that I received an email saying I would have them on the 2/4. 2/20 they finally arrived and I've never been happier! Vibrant colors make any film or TV show more stunning, while brightness control allows you to use subtle shades of color without overwhelming the room. We even use them for their crisp white decor to really bring the space to life.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Fun more efficient lighting system.

I ordered this for the back of my new TV for lighting purposes. It's much stronger and more versatile than the light colored tape I had previously. Installation was very easy and the 3m double-sided mount sticks like glue (make sure you install it right the first time). Looks great and doesn't get hot like a lightbulb or duct tape. I have 19 shades of light at home and I really enjoy controlling them by voice. The only gripe is that there are limits to how you can tilt them.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • piggy bank price

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

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

no Just no.: Strip Lights

This was one of the most annoying products I have ever bought. I'm a big Hugh fan, but it was awful. The power supply is bad. The kit includes 2 lamps and only 1 power supply with 3 connectors and proprietary connectors. Want to place these lights more than 4 feet apart? This is not possible because both must be connected to the same power source and the socket must be right in between. Do you want to buy an additional power supply? They don't sell it! If you buy an additional light, either no…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Error triggering the screen saver, the warranty covers a short period of time and use.

So I chose Hue Play to spice up my gaming PC. As an added bonus, lighting my monitors like this also helps reduce eye strain and improves image sharpness. I've found Hue Sync to be customizable even though the process takes place across multiple platforms. If you're like most people and just go through the quick setup guide (which isn't labeled as such - or something like that), *** make sure you set up the "Entertainment Zone" after the Play setup flashes up the normal hue app/connect to the…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

There's HUE SYNC to sync with everything! (ROKU, PS4pro, AVR.etc)

I have 2 HUE playsets, they are great. Many of you are wondering how to get HUE SYNC (PC & Mac) to work with things like ROKU (Netflix), gaming consoles (PS4, Xbox, Switch), etc etc. Let me walk you through this extensive implementation process along with the devices You will need: ****** 5/2/2019 UPDATE ****** (If you are confused, grab a piece of paper and draw it lol) 1) HDMI -Splitter with at least HDCP2.2 2 outputs (look for a splitter that automatically downscales to 1080 at 4K per…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Expandable
