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.

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

Works great with Apple HomeKit

I've purchased this Light Strip to integrate to our Philips Hue hub and our Apple HomeKit setup. This light strip is amazing, which works great with an automatic process like arriving home and the option to switch colors is great. The new Hue Apps on...
