Overview
Philips Hue Essential strip light washes a wall in a gradient of colored light from behind a TV, desk, bookshelf or bed. A corded power supply runs it, the strip can be cut to length, and control comes through the Hue app or a voice assistant.
Gradient effects and the Hue scene library let one strip wash a whole wall in shifting color, and trimming makes it fit a shelf or desk. Connection details are thin: the listing names app and voice control but not whether it uses Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or a Hue Bridge.
Who it's for
Living rooms, gaming desks and bedrooms with furniture to hide a strip behind are the target. Outdoor projects, and buyers who need a confirmed connection method before buying, should wait for fuller specs.
Pros and cons
- Cut to length to fit
- Gradient multicolor light effects
- Hue app scenes and automations
- Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home
- Indoor use only
- Connection method not listed
Performance notes
Color and output depend on the LEDs along the strip and the scene chosen in the Hue app, with gradient scenes spreading several colors along its length. Placement governs the effect, since the strip is meant to bounce light off a wall from behind furniture rather than shine straight out. Trimming shortens the run, so plan the cut before mounting.
