Design

In this aspect, the RBG LED strip from Philips there's nothing very special. It is a common tape that comes with an adhesive glue to be installed and for our test we received the model with 2 meters in length.

Its only differentiator, visually speaking, is the connection clip that comes at one end, for the user to attach a tape to the other if he needs longer tapes. If you need smaller sizes, the LED strip Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus it can be shaped and cut into various sizes and shapes without losing functionality.

It has personally been very difficult to connect to Hue Bridge properly with the devices of the Philips🇧🇷 Despite having the connection option Wi-Fi, the tested device worked only with the Internet switched on. Only after solving the connection problem, I was able to connect the RGB LED strip with the computer. As a test, I spent hours on end watching videos of YouTube and making the tape change color according to the audio.

Hue Philips and Hue Sync

To use the full potential of the LED bar, the ideal is to use the applications Hue Phillips e hue sync together. The first is used in smartphones and it already allows you to change colors, play with the intensity of light and create personalized environments. It is with his connection that you can perform voice commands using the famous voice assistants, such as Alexa and Google Assistant.

Already hue sync I indicate having it installed on the computer, as the experience intensifies. With it, it is possible to create color synchronization environments, which work while watching a video, listening to music or playing video games. Remembering that it is necessary to have a Hue Bridge to use the color sync application.

Verdict

A Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus It's definitely anyone's dream. gamer, youtuber or technology fan, but is it worth spending almost 900 reais on two meters of LED strip? In my experience, it will be difficult to find an RGB device that beats the Philips in terms of functionality. We all know that there are countless LEDs out there that change colors and come in much larger sizes, but for a low price, that syncs with the sound of your television, computer or video game? Certainly not.

It's up to each one if it's worth it or not to put your hand in your pocket for the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus, despite the fun experience, I would not put. Is that you? Tell us in the comments!
