Features

Overview: The Philips Friends of Hue LightStrip is a strip of LED lights that can be used to create a lighting mood in your home. The strip has an adhesive backing, allowing you to stick the LED lights just about anywhere. You can bend the light strip in multiple ways, and even cut it if you don't need the entire length. To reach the full potential of the Hue LightStrip, you must wirelessly connect it to the Hue Bridge so it can be controlled from your smart devices through the Hue App. The Hue LightStrip is powered by the attached AC cord.

Hue LightStrip: The Hue LightStrip has no local (on product) control. It is designed to be used within the Hue Personal Wireless Lighting System. The strip contains 30 LEDs that can be turned on/off, changed color, or dimmed by your smart phone or tablet. The strip itself is 79" in length; with the attached power cord, the total length is 18.5'.

Hue Personal Wireless Lighting: The Hue Personal Wireless Lighting System lets you individually control all of the Hue lighting products in the system using your smartphone or tablet. Through the Hue app, you can control the Hue LightStrip to do the following:

• Paint With Light: You can choose from 16-million colors to light, or change the look of, your room. Your favorite light settings can be saved for later recall.
• Sync Lights With Movies or Music: The lights can be synchronized to change with the scenes in a movie, or pulse to the beat of your music. (Third party apps may be required.)
• Create An Ambience: The app lets you use different shades of white light to create an ambience. The bulbs can produce shades of light from energizing cool daylight to relaxing warm white light.
• Light Mood Presets: Preset light moods let you instantly change the lights in the room to fit the moment. Optimal settings are available for reading, relaxing, concentrating, and energizing.
• Wake Up: Gradually increasing light intensity helps to gently wake you up with light, similar to the natural light of the morning sun.
• Light Schedules: The lights can be programmed to come on and go off at a preset time, including lighting rooms at different times. At night, you can let the lights turn off gradually, so you don't have to worry about leaving lights on.
• Remote Lighting Control: When you're away from home, you can turn lights on or off from your smartphone. You can also check the status of your lights when you're not there.
• Geofencing: When the bridge detects that your smartphone is within a certain distance, it will automatically turn lights on or off. For example, as you approach your house, your lights will automatically turn on so you won't have to enter a dark room. (Third party apps may be required.)
