Accent lighting is a great addition to any space, and the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus is definitely something to consider. These LED strips are easy to set up, and while Hue lights previously required a Hue Bridge to work, you can still control the Hue...
Very bright Easy to install Can be quickly expanded
Real value only when paired with Hue Bridge Only whole strip changes color
The Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus are a clean way to add accent lighting to any surface, and offer a fantastic range of brightness and colors to choose from. Pairing them with a Hue Bridge will unlock their true value, but even on their own they still...

The LightStrip Plus is a bright, colorful, and fun addition to the Philips Hue smart lighting ecosystem.
Very bright. Can be extended with additional sets. Easy setup.
Pricey. Requires hub to work.
Conclusion Like other Philips Hue products, the LightStrip Plus offers a wide range of colors and options, and it's easy to place just about anywhere you want. If you're already part of the Philips Hue ecosystem, it's a fun way to add some dramatic...

LED light strips can be both fun (think synching lights to music under a disco ball) and practical (as I discovered with under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen). Here we compare the two main choices for DIYers in this category: the updated Philips Hue...
Brighter, whiter than original Lightstrip ; HomeKit support (you can use Siri to control your lights) ; Extension strips now available (to a maximum length of 33 feet)
Two-meter strip length is sub-optimal for smaller projects ; First-generation Hue owners must buy second-generation bridge to get HomeKit support ; No real starter kit: Lightstrip does not include wireless bridge
Philips gets serious with its flexible LED strip, giving smart homes an alternative to WeMo accent lighting.

I have fitted these lights under my kitchen cabinets and they work really well. I would be happier if they were cheaper. I made some plastic clips to hold it in place as sticky tape doesn't work very well. Otherwise really good product.

Brought this to extend my existing Philips hue lightstrip.
Consumer review (johnlewis.com)
Very easy to install, even for a novice like me. Large selection of colours and brightness levels.
Consumer review (johnlewis.com)
Strip initially purchased (and which I had cut down) did not work properly- wouldn't turn off and only the slightest colour change. No problems with replacement. Only issue I have with the product is that freestanding 1m strips are not available - as...

Bought the light strip and have been severely impressed with the functionality of it. There are millions of lighting colours. You can get it to even mimic a TV being on if you're out WOW
