Philips Hue Indoor Solo LED Lightstrip, 3m, 1 Pack, White | White and Colour Ambiance Light, Smart LED, 1700 lm, Easy Installation, Non-Extendable, Bluetooth App Control, Smart Home

I bought the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus v4 (2m base kit) to add some ambient lighting at home, and I’m really impressed with it. The colours are vibrant, the white tones go from very warm to cool and bright, and it instantly makes any room feel more cosy and modern. It looks especially good tucked behind furniture and along edges, giving that “floating” glow without seeing the strip itself. Setup was very simple. I plugged it in, paired it via Bluetooth in the Hue app, and was up and running in a few minutes. The app is easy to use, with loads of scenes and effects, and it’s great being able to dim the lights, change colours or turn them off from my phone. Voice control with Alexa/Google/Apple also works really well once linked. The strip itself feels good quality, the adhesive backing sticks firmly, and I like that it can be cut to length or extended later if needed. Once it’s installed you can more or less forget about it – it just comes on with your routines and quietly does its job. Overall, this is a fantastic smart lightstrip if you want reliable, high-quality ambient lighting that integrates nicely with a smart home. I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

I recently purchased the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus V4, and it has completely transformed my space! Whether for mood lighting, accenting furniture, or smart home automation, this lightstrip delivers on all fronts. What I Loved: Vibrant & Customizable Colors – The brightness is impressive, and the range of colors is endless! Whether I want a warm white for relaxation or dynamic colors for a party, this strip does it all. Smart Home Integration – Works seamlessly with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. Controlling it via voice commands is effortless. Easy Setup & Expandable – The Bluetooth setup is quick, and it connects easily to my Hue Bridge for additional features. Plus, it’s extendable for larger setups. Syncs with Music & Movies – When paired with the Hue Sync app, it enhances movies and music, making for an immersive experience. Minor Considerations: Requires a Hue Bridge for full features – While Bluetooth works for basic functions, you’ll need the Hue Bridge to unlock advanced automation and remote control. Adhesive could be stronger – Sticks well on smooth surfaces, but I’d recommend extra adhesive or mounting clips for long-term placement. If you’re looking for high-quality, smart LED lighting, this is one of the best options available. It’s bright, responsive, and integrates seamlessly into any smart home system. Highly recommend! The lights are durable and good value for money.

I put this around the top of my (very large) fireplace, above the log burner. I was worried how it would perform with the residual heat as the log burner can reach hundreds of degrees, but it is such good quality, it's been in a year now and it's just great with no lifespan issues. I used aluminium diffusers, which I connected around the inside top of the fireplace, and then fed the LED light strip around it. There were already three halogen spotlights up there which kept blowing and they were a pain to replace, so I removed them and I was able to use the hole that already existed for the mains cable, and I used a sticky pad on the transformer to stick it to the metal blanking plate. It looks amazing, and it is easy to control the colours. and brightness with HomeKit or the Hue app. Connectivity is a doddle too, just scan the QR code, and it's added to your home set up.

The performance of this LED strip is great. Shines brighter than the cheaper ambiguously-branded LED strips and feels better built. I have used cable ties to fix it in place though, as the adhesive is worthless. Its a pretty chunky thick LED strip and if you have to work it around a bend, the thickness and rigidity works against you. The worst thing though is 2 months after buying this new, the bluetooth is playing up. I wouldn't be able to detect the light strip in the Hue app and had to physically plug it from the mains, wait, and plug it back in to work. Note: I'm not talking about disconnecting the strip from the power supply, but the whole thing from the plug. I guess some of the bluetooth assembly is on the adapter-side? This means if you have concealed wiring and a hidden plug like me, its a total faff. As of 2 weeks later, this workaround no longer works and bluetooth is effectively dead. I would have returned it, but I just added some more lights and the Bridge/zigbee protocol works just fine so I can't be asked with the hassle of unmounting it, etc.

Easy to install, far easier than older models (I think the adhesive has been improved so its far more sticky). Be careful with the plug at the end of the light strip itself, it is a bit fragile. As with all Hue products, the colour range and white tones are fantastic, genuine quality light. Expensive, as ever with Hue, but when on offer its a decent buy for the money. Would recommend. Even the dog loves it.

This Philips Hue lightstrip is easy to install and gives off excellent, even lighting. The colours are vibrant, brightness is strong, and it works seamlessly with the Hue app for custom scenes and schedules. It’s perfect for adding ambient light under shelves or behind furniture. Although it’s not extendable, the 3-metre length is generous and works well for most setups. A quality product that does exactly what you expect from Hue.

Have purchased my first Hue light a 2m colour striplight (v4) snd a Hue bridge (v2). This was for my 10 yr old daughter's bedroom and she is very happy and excited. Pros and technicalities: Ovetall Very easy, simple and convenient setup. Easy to integrate with Alexa. Great product from Philips Hue. 5 stars You Must have downloaded P Hue app (Android, iOS) before installation. 1. Plug Hue bridge into power source 2. Attach bridge with rj45 cable to your network or router. 3. Open app on phone. It automatically detects Bridge, then updates it. 4. Beware it takes quite some time to update! (approximately 15 min) 5. Attach striplight to power 6. Search for Hue lights in app. 7. App detects striplight (very easy, first time, no lag, smooth) 8. Once integrated, it can be named whatever you like. Jojo, rattle, bindi, we settled for Griffin! App now updates Striplight (expect another 15 min to complete it). 9. App integrates with Amazon Echo Alexa seamlessly and works smooth with voice commands. 10. You can name the Room and lights in that room, so I guess you can add as many rooms (as you can spend) and lights in each room. (Total 50 with each Bridge as per manual). 11. You can set scenes and ask alexa eg: 'turn savana sunset in room 1', Perfect 12. You can set routines, timings when light to come and go with sunset and sunrise etc etc Cons and ideas for improvements: 1. Slightly less user friendly for complex settings ie setting routines and grouping lights in each room and then the whole house. It could be improved by adding icons instead of too much prose, (like somfy TaHoma app) 2. Voice commands for Echo: It wouldn't work if you say 'Set Savanna sunset Scene in Room1', instead you have to be Specific and say 'Turn Savanna sunset in room 1'. 3. Setting routines could be simplified: one example is you want lights control to be activated at night time commwncing with sunset and switch off with sunrise. This could be more user friendly in the Hue app as current a bit complex set up. Finally the price of the Hue lights is ridiculously HIGH, you pay a premium, (though no doubt Hue lights are amazing!). Probably it is due to lack of competition but in modern era soon expect other competitors with at par quality of lights and app to get into the ring... can Amazon start making its own colorful lights?!

Lights are pretty good and quality is good, the length is also a great! they connected with ease to the App and Alexa both seem to work well. I struggled to put these up as they don't bend well, just took the paint of my walls. After putting them up a section stopped working almost instantly, seems to be just any colour with red! such a shame as i had high hopes for this!

Perfect werkt prima met de app

Başarılı.

Excellent produit. L’installation est simple et rapide, la lumière est homogène et les couleurs sont variées et fidèles. Le logiciel de pilotage fonctionne parfaitement et rend l’utilisation très intuitive, avec la possibilité de créer facilement différentes ambiances via l’application Hue. Petit bémol : l’adhérence n’est pas extraordinaire, surtout si le ruban n’est pas collé de façon parfaitement linéaire. Cela demande un peu de soin à la pose. Dans l’ensemble, c’est un produit de grande qualité qui transforme l’ambiance et donne du caractère à la pièce.

This is the worst product made by Phillips Hue. I want to know who decided in their Phillips executive meetings to STOP supporting Apple HomeKit after over a decade of encouraging their customers to use HomeKit! The worst idea ever! And I know they’re going to say that it’s made for the new Phillips Hue Bridge. But my old one works and you should always think of backward compatibility. Now I have to watch for Phillips hue products to see if they support HomeKit.

Je l'ai installé sous mon lit avec une routine connecté à mon détecteur de mouvement Philips Hue pour l'allumer (lumière très modérée) ou l'éteindre automatiquement dès que une présence est détectée la nuit. Du coup, je ne me prends plus les pieds dans le tapis et mes claquettes sont bien visibles en allant aux toilettes. Quand je regarde des films ou juste les infos avec lumière tamisée, la bande lumineuse allumée aussi ajoute une certaine touche dans l'ensemble.
