The only downside is that these lights are quite expensive compared to other LED strips or lamps. They cost around $130 for a set of two light bars, which is a lot for some mood lighting. However, I think they are worth it for the premium features and compatibility that they offer. They are also very durable and well-made, so they should last for a long time.
If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, you might want to check out some of the third-party lights that are compatible with the Hue system. Philips has recently opened up its Hue platform to allow other manufacturers to make lights that work with the Hue Bridge and app. This means you can get some more affordable options that still offer some of the benefits of the Hue ecosystem. However, keep in mind that these lights might not have the same quality, reliability, or functionality as the official Hue products.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the Philips Hue Smart Play Light Bar Base Kit. They are a great addition to my gaming setup and they create a fantastic atmosphere. They are definitely on the pricey side, but they are worth it for the features and performance that they deliver. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to enhance their gaming experience with some smart lighting.
They connected without trouble to my hue bridge. They're what I would call a "medium" brightness - they're fine for accent lighting but not bright enough for the pair to serve as the main lighting for a room. For the price, I wish they were a bit brighter.
The light bars' synchronization with music, movies, or gaming adds an extra layer of immersion. The ability to sync the lighting effects with entertainment content enhances the overall experience, bringing movies to life, intensifying gaming sessions, or creating captivating visual effects synced to music beats.
The build quality of the light bars is impressive, featuring a sleek and durable design. The solid construction and premium materials ensure longevity and robustness, promising a reliable lighting solution for the long term.
The lights come with a versatile and easy to use mounting system supported by 3M tape and allen key adjustment for the bases, you can arrange them in a variety of ways. The lights can be controlled via the Philips HUE app, and require a bridge to connect via ethernet to your internet router, the source of the app and the bridge connection must be on the same network in order for it to work. Other LED smart systems do not use wifi. Philips HUE offers a lot of connections up to like 72 lights per bridge.
App is super easy to use when you have set it up, you can do a lot of stuff with it and anyone interested should seek out youtube videos showing the full features of the lights, after about 4 weeks with the lights I'm really happy with the purchase, I have the lights mounted on the back of my monitor. They come with great preset options for work, play, general browsing and different times of the day and settings, some of the color schemes you can get out of the bars are really great, the lights are also strong enough to provide solid lighting that you can really feel and benefit/enjoy during daytime. I only have the two LED Bars, but I am definitely considering purchasing more HUE products and specifically a third light bar.
I do not think that this product is the best value for money available, especially because the bridge is not included in this kit and retails for $60. I was lucky I found the bridge on sale for around $25, which tipped the decision for me to purchase this product over others, if you're considering more budget options, you can definitely look at other products for similar performance, if you dont mind paying more, HUE has some cool beneifts.
Be aware, cable management required!

Its not to say that they're necessarily a perfect product for you: Until the Ambient they didn't offer individually addressable LED's, and even that I'm pretty sure is zone based.
As for the Playbar's specifically? I love them: They're great, but they still have a few downsides. This kit isn't cheap (at time of writing, around $70-80 per bar), but doesn't give you the Bridge (which is mandatory for these; no bluetooth mode). You likely have a bridge already if you're looking at investing, so that does help. The lights do not have a built in battery, and personally what I found most disappointing is the lack of adjustability for their physical stands. You have a few mounting options, but they're all fixed mounts: they don't allow you to tilt or adjust them. You decide a particular orientation and you're stuck with it unless you disassemble their mounts, which considering you're using 3M pads isn't really ideal. If you're wanting to do a set-and-forget layout it is fine, but be aware it's not like you can tilt them or anything.
The plug that comes with these lights supports up to three lights being plugged into it: so if you get a third play bar, you can just plug it into the same plug. Alternatively (and what is neat to me): If you get the Philips Hue Sync, you can also plug it into this 3rd port: it utilizes the same style. I think that's a relatively clever idea to minimize socket use, especially because its quite likely that you are going to be utilizing play bars with the Sync. The trade off, of course, is that a lot of people run three or more playbars for a sync - one to the left, one to the right, and one on top. If you have an orientation like that, the third plug point is going to be taken up by default.
All in all though, I recommend these: They're bright. They're easily controlled via all major assistants, and there is some absolutely *great* Zigbee accessories that can be utilized. Outside of Philips Hue range itself, I really love the Lutreon Caseta control, and recommend people look into something like that to make your space more accessible to the folk in your life who are less tech-y.
