When Philips Hue first launched, its competition wasn't really a factor. Now there's a lot more competition - Hive, Osram, Ikea, Elgato, Belkin, Lifx and others all have lighting systems - but no other manufacturer has quite managed to gain as much ground...

Cable may get in the way, need nearby power socket, once cut that's it - no going back, 2m kit only measures 1.8m, pricey
We use Philips Hue every day and we love it. The addition of LightStrips we've got heaps of praise for - it's easy to set up and taps into the Hue system with relative ease too. It's all just easy - and looks great. Despite the confusion of the str...
Versatile placement options, Bright and colorful, Great options for expansion with other Hue devices
Some connectivity issues, Difficult to move once placed
As one of the most versatile smart lighting options out there, it's very easy to recommend the Philips Hue Lightstrip. Fun and functional, it'll bring light to corners of your home that you never thought possible, and will look good while doing it...

Abstract: Here at Ars—and specifically at Casa Hutchinson we love our Philips Hue lights. The programmable, controllable LED-powered bulbs have been lighting up our lives ever since we first got our hands on them last November, and at this point, I can't imagine...
We were big fans of the original hue system. Smart lighting has been a mainstay of professionally-installed home automation systems for years, but a cost effective and reliable DIY alternative had been sorely missing. Philips’ bulbs weren’t quite as c...
Versatile light/brightness settings, Useful LightStrips design, Hue recipes genuinely fun to play with
Expensive, Hue app needs some streamlining, Lightstrips is actually 1.8-metre
If you have an existing Philips Hue setup in your house, with Bridge and bulbs set up and the Hue app already configured with recipes, then the Friends Of Hue (and the LightStrips especially) is an easy purchase. If you were looking for some more versatil...
On a technical level, I can't fault either of LightStrips or LivingColors Bloom, but at $124.95 and $99.95 respectively, they're not the easiest purchases to justify. Let's be clear, if money wasn't an issue, I'd deck every corner of my house out with sm...
