Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The strips can be cut (like almost any light strip) they can be joined with a passive extension strip via a 4 pin connector. My two extensions show a box with 6 pin connectors, they are actually 4 pins as described on the web. The pictures taken are w...  Read More

Homeassistant running with a nortek z-wave/zigbee usb controller. Works with direct bluetooth or via the hue hub. Offers an array of customization that will keep you entertained.

If you’re like me and pretty nestled into the philips ecosystem, i would say it’s worth it to just pony up the cash and grab these, they really are a stunning improvement over the last generation of light strips. Many people complain about the adhesiv...  Read More



Cons

They should be taken off the market until they are labeled/marketed properly as not working with earlier generations. It's no wonder they don't let customers leave reviews. I guess because they’re secretly selling used units on here that others have r...  Read More

Only the very end near the plug lights up. This flimsy construction causes the power cord to loosen just enough for the lights to not work. Bulbs and straps start wearing out after 1-2 years. I have their bulbs and they work so much better.

It seems to be because of poor soldering of the components. It just cycles through “connecting’ and “disconnected” until i delete them from my devices.

Quality


Reliable performance:beyond their aesthetic appeal, philips hue lights exhibit reliable performance.


The bulbs consistently respond promptly to commands, and the system has demonstrated stability over extended periods of use.


Sad philips hasn’t improved on these issues since i bought their first lightstrip ~4 years ago.


The strip really isn’t designed to bend laterally, which means you can’t curl it around the back of a tv corner unless you buy ...  Read More

Price


I waited awhile to get these due to price and i’m glad i never gave up.


And for the price, you expect them to.


Much more costly but worth it if you’re going to get any at all.

Packaging/appearance


Cut the old strip and connect ( a connector comes with the package thank goodness) to the new one.


So thank little power box cannot be brought by itself.

Competitiveness


The older wiz based model was flaking out for me so i tried a few cheaper brands that i wasn't happy with.


This is the reason that i went with hue over the many other options on the market for our under cabinet lighting.

    I would say the light strip is only worth it if you get the gradient

    The light strip is an amazing and bright addition to my room wonderful colors and ambience but the problem i faced was the connections to the extension doesnt have a firm grip to attach and hold youll find yourself needing to tape it or glue it together


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Another problem is since i had the 6 base for two years the adhesive does not last long


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After a couple of months it lost its stickiness so i believe the 3 extensions will soon loose it too its best to take off the old tape and apply stronger adhesive double sided tape
