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.
I decided to pull the trigger during Amazon Prime Day.. I bought the 4 bulb starter kit and I fell in love with it.. It was great. Then I got the idea that I should buy MORE Philip lights so I can control them with Google Home and they can interact with the tv / laptops / Nvidia shield. Hence me purchasing the Philips Hue Play.
I'll say.. I had high expectations and was very excited to purchase. The product was shipped to me Next Day delivery. I got them out the box, attached the sticker to the round oval plastic connector and attached to the tv. So far they're just ok. I'm not as excited, I'm thinking its because of my light placement. I have each light attached to one side of my 65in Samsung OLED. They're placed about 12 inches from the bottom, 4 inches from the edge, and upright attached to the tv. The colors change with every scene thanks to the HUE STREAMING app on Nvidia Shield Android TV. But as I said. They're just ok. I will have to mess around with the set-up, maybe I can make them look better.
So far I'll give them 3 stars. The connectivity was easy. My hue immediately recognized them along with my Galaxy Note. I'll give it another couple of days and fool around with the settings then revisit.
***REVISED UPDATE***
Ok. here's an update after using for 3+ weeks. I wasn't too impressed with the 2 Philips Hue playlights so I thought it would be advantageous to order a 3rd.
Good thing I did. This changed my viewing experience a lot. It shows more color ranges and the lights pretty much spread around the entire rear of the tv. You can actually see the gradiation of the light colors. I'm very pleased with the lights now. plus it links seamlessly with my Google Home Mini, I also have it linked to my Nvidia Shield thru a Standalone 3rd party Hue Playstream app. This allows it to change colors with every scene depending on what you are watching. Only issue, it does not work with Netflix or any specially copyrighted property. But it works great with Youtube and anything on Kodi.
For this reason I'm updating my ratings an additional star. I like it as 3 hue lights are better than 2 and 1 is better than none.

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.
