Philips Hue Indoor 33 Ft Smart LED Solo lightstrip Base Kit - 1 Pack - Control with Hue App - Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit, White

Product itself is nice, reliable, and is a little difficult to connect at first but once connected is nice & easy to use. The colors are great. If you are getting a single LED strip with zero customization (i.e. no cutting or splitting) this is a great but expensive set. The app is also good which is saying something.The colors are also very nice, better than cheap LED strips I've gotten. So for single LED strips as-is, no changes except to remove & throw away extra, this is a great (but expensive) product. Even on sale it's still more expensive than most.DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT TO CUT DOWN TO SIZE FOR SOMETHING CUSTOM, such as a bookcase. Use a cheaper brand and just daisy chain them or a brand that has off the shelf connectors & adapters for splitting.Why this is bad for customization:1 - You can't buy additional controllers for splitting a light strip, so if you accidentally bought too long a strip, THROW IT OUT because Philips won't let you use that for anything else, you need to buy a whole new kit.2 - many off brand LED light strips and even the older versions of this product (such as the Hue V2) have more accessories for customization such as connectors to create gaps, 90deg corners, etc.. I have waited over a year for more options and there are zero. No adapters except for bad ones and/or 3rd party vendors that say it'll work but it won't. Working with this has been a nightmare. I bought these because I was expecting a product like that allowed you to customize things and create your own environment with LEDs that are all connected - but no, I was unfortunately very misled by their marketing.

Really love the range of colors this LED strip provides as ambient lighting on my living room wall and mantle. Other LED strips can be far cheaper but this one from Philips has true whites that can be selected in the HUE app. Which leads to the only complaint I would have about this Philips lighting series is that it requires the HUE bridge device or other manual control option to be operable by anyone than the owner using the app. Think about it: you have a visitor or guest, and they want to turn off or adjust the lighting? No easy switch to do that.

I have been using Philips Hue strip light for years and to be honest the are reliable. But this last item I bought, I am just disappointed. 2 segments stays green and nothing can be done and I can’t return because it was shipped out of the state.I wish I could get a replacement

Most reliable and best color gradients as usual. Connected to existing Hue hub at home. They are perfect for an amazing light show in the pool enclosure.

It’s a nice light, but I get better control of light with their budget essentials light strip
