How are ratings calculated?
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsPay extra for the Phillips Hue quality
Reviewed in Australia on 28 November 2020
Spent many hours researching the best light strip to use in our new kitchen but have been very happy with our decision to go with the Hue ecosystem. The colours are very true and the integration with Alexa and Homekit is so simple and really makes it easy for the whole family.

3.0 out of 5 starsGreat lights - poor durability
Reviewed in Australia on 21 August 2021
Purchased these to brighten up an office space - and they look fantastic. The Bluetooth and app controls are very easy to use and the connectivity to Google home worked a treat.

Unfortunately there are several pitfalls:

* Not flexible: The stated flexibility of these strips is entirely incorrect. They are extremely tough and in an attempt to bend them downwards to hide the power cable, one of the LED diodes has dislodged from the circuit board. I now have 6 faulty LED's in the panel - the white bulbs do not turn on, so there is a dark patch of colour against the flow. To fix this, I would need to break the plastic seal and solder them back together.

* Too expensive: The cost of this strip against other brands is too high. Considering the lack of flexibility and the need for an additional device (Hue Bridge) in order to get maximum control over the lights, the price tag for using the Phillips brand is not warranted.

OVERALL: Excellent lights if you use them in a straight line - don't try to manipulate the shape. Consider the limited control options without a Phillips Hue Bridge. If I had my time again, I would purchase a cheaper, more flexible product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't make sharp bends
Reviewed in Australia on 20 January 2021
Style Name: 2m Base KitVerified Purchase
I put this behind my monitor. The strip itself is fairly thick and rubbery, so you can't really make sharp angles/bends with it.

I had some issues with mine, specifically it couldn't be reached by the Hue app consistently (making it basically useless since I couldn't change the brightness and color), though Amazon is sorting this out. Hopefully this isn't an inherent problem with the product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a lot of functions for the price

Sure there is the app but you can get a much cheaper solution that does all the same functions as the Philips hue. But if you have the ecosystem it is fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the lightstrip V4. Connectors to assist with installation are not yet available
Reviewed in Australia on 3 November 2020
Style Name: 2m Base Kit
I have used the V3 and V4 lightstrip. Both work identically within the hue ecosystem but all the connections are different between the 2 versions. Currently there are no V4 connectors on the market which makes it extremely difficult to complete custom installations. The worst part is that the box contains a single cut end to cut end connector but there are no other similar connectors on the market that i can find.

That said, the lightstrip themselves are great. I'm about 20 devices deep into the hue ecosystem. Some time to configure the device is required and the app is fairly intuitive but once you get started there's a lot you can do.

Side note: not sure why this review is asking my rating of motion detection. The lightstrip does not have motion detection integrated. You need to purchase a motion detection sensor separately and configure it, if that feature is required.
