Philips Hue LightStrip Plus

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...

Battle of the LED light strips: Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus vs. Belkin WeMo + Osram Lightify Flex RGBW

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.

Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus review

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...

Works really well

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.

Replacement worked beautifully

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...

Love this

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
