Critic Reviews

Philips Friends of Hue review - Iris and Light Strips | Expert Reviews

expertreviews.co.uk

Philips Friends of Hue LightStrips bring vibrant color to any setting with ease, thanks to their simple adhesive setup and seamless integration with existing Hue systems. However, their high price and lack of standalone utility without a Hue Bridge are significant drawbacks. Plus, trimming the strips means losing any excess LEDs, adding to the cost concern. While they add aesthetic flair, they lack the brightness for primary lighting and demand proximity to power outlets. Overall, a colorful but costly addition to a Hue-loyal home.

BT shows off his Philips Friends of Hue LightStrips he will use to illuminate his studio space. Several boxes of the LightStrips can be seen. He says, "New halo and cabinet lighting for the new studio. We got so much of this Phillips lighting we have to cut, solder and re jumper ourselves. You can take a picture of a sunset and put the dominant colors on the lights. Crazy!"
