What’s the difference between Play light bars single units and the extension?

Play light bars need to be connected to a power supply unit, so you'll need to first buy a Play light bar that comes with one. Play light bar power supply units can support up to three light bars, so you can purchase a 2-pack and an extension for a three-bar setup.

Can I use a different power supply from another Hue lamp to power a Play light bar?

No, the Play light bar can only be powered by its own power supply.

Do I need to buy separate accessories to use the Play light bar?

Play light bars require a Bridge to use. To sync them to your TV screen, you'll also need a sync box or the Sync TV app.

Where should I install Play light bars?

Play light bars are meant to enhance your TV backlighting, so they come with mounts. Use them to stand them up or lay them next to your TV. You can also mount them directly to your TV.

How do I mount Play light bars to my TV?

Play light bars come with mount and adhesives to mount them to your TV. You'll find detailed instructions in the manual.

Do Play light bars have an on/off switch or a button?

Because Play light bars are meant to surround the TV, they don't feature any buttons. You can use the app, your voice, or other smart switches to control it.

Not just for the TV!

We have these on our main tv, synced with the screen and they are so cool. But I bought some for my office nook in my room. The lights are stylish and easy to install/set up with the Hue bridge. At night it is great to set the different themes and be able to control everything from the phone.
Worth it!

We LOVE the hue lights!! We have replaced our lamps for these lights. Our favorite part is being able to match whatever we are watching on tv. Totally suggest the buy! Worth the money!
Great Lights

These lights make my TV look better and they provide a great overall experience; specially when watching videos or playing games and using the Hue Sync app.
Nice but sync isn’t perfect.

Sometimes, the lights don’t match what’s on screen with Hue Sync. But they add a nice ambiance.
Needs Hue Bridge to work properly

I was really excited to purchase these lights as I had heard so many good things about Philips Hue. After setting them up and turning them on, I could hear a constant, and very annoying, buzzing sound coming from the light bars. After doing some research, I found this is an ongoing issue. I contacted support and was told these light bars only work properly with the Hue Bridge. I had already waited some time to splurge on these lights so I wasn’t willing to dish out another chunk of money for the bridge so I had to return the bars instead. It’s a shame that these cannot work properly on their own and that the product description doesn’t clearly state that a bridge is necessary with these light bars. The quality of the light itself and ability to control the color and brightness is nice but I’m really not sure the price tag is worth it considering you have to buy an additional accessory to use them. Despite the disappointment, I had a positive experience with the support team and the return process was straightforward.
Great, but need 2 adapters rather than just 1

I originally bought one of these to have 1 either side of my TV but once set up it was clear that I only needed the 1, so wanted to use the other 1 somewhere else but am unable to do this as only 1 power adapter is supplied and I can't find where to buy another adaptor.
Easy set up, great for portrait wall lighting

Very nice as accent lighting for a portrait gallery wall in our family room. As with other hue lights, it was simple to add using the app. Overall, pleased with these even though they are not being used for any interactive TV/media.
Good for epic lighting

I'm very happy with the light bars. The reason I gave 4 stars are: 1) I wish the mounts were also white 2) They gave us 4 mounts but only gave 2 screws. I wish they gave us a screw per each mount.
Overpriced and over complicated

It’s neat, but that’s where it ends. Cannot believe that it costs about $400 to put two lights behind your tv (after buying the sync box and bridge).
