Pros

I already have multiple philips products so it was a no brainer for me. This is a fantastic product for people that already own multiple philips hue products, but if you don't fall into that category then you may want to explore other way less expensi...  Read More

It works extremely well using both custom and pre-configured scenes in the hue app. I believe there are ways to trigger scenes and the like blending philips hue lights with other brands and they may be the ticket. Worked perfect with homekit and iconn...  Read More

Translucent cover adds thickness and a noticeable whiter look than v4. This one shows up due to it being thicker and whiter. The light perform phenomenally and will go toe to toe with or outclass any others.

It blends colors so extremely well. The ability to adjust the tone/color is wonderful. Has the ability to blend light color and lumen level along its length.

This kit gives you peace of mind when customizing your interior lighting. This is a thick light strip, perhaps because of the translucent cover--which i think is used to soften the glare of individual leds and thus make the gradient effect more attrac...  Read More



Cons

The brightness level is the same but the color is not. The “adhesive” separates from the light strip in less than an hour. No way to even add to this * strip without revising the whole thing.

Whenever i try turning them on or off after using them for a while it just comes up as disconnected in the app, and doesn’t reconnect unless i reset the whole thing and repair them to my phone. It just cycles through “connecting” and “disconnected” un...  Read More

These should be taken off the market until they are labeled/marketed properly as not working with earlier generations. The price and packaging is expensive especially for what lengths you get. They are expensive, deliver minimum options for 2020, and ...  Read More

Quality


However, i am extremely pleased with the one i have.


I'm very pleased with the visual result.


As others have mentioned, there is a compatibility issue with the version of the hue products.


The two pictures are comparing the hue cool white with the cheap tape light cool white.

Price


If cost is no object, i could see using a number of these in various rooms to great effect.


I had been hesitant to buy a hue lightstrip at first because the price seemed outrageous.


Unfortunately, cost is an object for most of us, and given what this strip does it is difficult to justify the price.

Competitiveness


I'm a fan of philips hue products.


They are always well made, dependable, premium products.

    The double sided tape that comes on them needs to be much stronger

    If you are purchasing for the back of a tv don’t expect it to stay adhered too the surface at the corners


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It doesn’t bend well and isn’t very flexible so the corners stick up and won’t adhere to the surface

    I’ll include pics of what i’m talking about

    Since that is one of the main thing people purchase them for it would seem phillips would have e fixed this issue by now

    I’ve been on the smart era for around 5 years nowjust recently started tinkering with the phillip light category i’m still an mediocre investor in this projectbut i’ve learned quite a dealwith the extension methods i didn’t have any luck cutting it and then trying to reconnecti was able to get the extension cable they make workbut it worked really wonky for about 1 year


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The light strip was always one color and the extension would always be another colorto prevent this i recommend plugging in all the extensions firstprep your area where the light strip will go with a double sided adhesive
