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.

I have a small one bedroom condo and this light bar really topped off the mood. The more ambient light the better! Put it behind the TV as advertised and its awesome. I haven't quite found the ease on eye strain as it proposes it helps with but as I keep using it maybe i'll notice. It not only looks great for any mood, but also just lights up the dark corner that the TV was sitting behind in my place. My picture really doesn't do the bar justice but I have paired with one of many other hue bulbs including the one in the picture. The way the light looks its also going to depend on your tv placement and living room setting. Mine is in a corner so it looks no where near the website sales photos! Customize it to you!
Light Bar solves a unique lighting need.

The white and color ambiance light bar solved a long standing goal I have had for lighting an art glass piece. It is flat and has fused pieces of dichroic glass. I had no solution to having a lighting that was not easily seen and would light the entire piece. Having had experience with Hue bulbs the light bar solved this. I placed a cardboard box over the bar with a long narrow slit that restricted light output to a narrow plane and slightly tilted the glass so the entire front was illuminated. The additional ability to change the color of the illumination makes it exquisite. The light maximizes the detail in the dichroic pieces.
VERY displeased

2 out of the 4 I’ve received (2 purchased 2 ware tied) have been bad bought a new set had to send one back because it Wouldn't connect. Received a replacement, finally, it worked. Ordered a 3 while waiting on the replacement one to get here and it wouldn’t even turn on. Most of my lights in my house are Phillips hue bulbs/strips these have been the absolute worst.
Overpriced garbage

If it requires a bridge to work it should come with it. Will not ever purchase a Phillips product again and this little useless nightlight will be returned.
Perfect for adding that extra splash of light

Already had two of these on a desk, bought a third to light up next to it. Worked perfect and it's amazing the difference one light can make!
Great product! Want more.

Currently I am using this as a bedside lamp and love it. If the hue sync were any cheaper I would have bought more for the gaming system!
Great light!

This light does all that’s advertised. The color choices seem endless and it’s easy to set up and use.
