thank you so much i was going crazy trying to figure this out
What exactly? But glad that I could help :)
This is super helpful actually
Thx :)
Great video🤘
What should I get for my kitchen island? I kinda like the flame and candle effect
Get a diffuse one. The normal strips are only for indirect lighting
Hello excellent video! I am about to start using smart lighting in my home, I want to place lighting behind the TV in my entertainment room, it does not necessarily have to be synchronized with the video (not only because it is expensive, but honestly I don't know if I get used to it or like it or use it constantly) so I prefer to try a lighting but without synchronizing, what would be my best option with Philips Hue products taking into account that I have a 65-inch TV and underneath I have a piece of furniture that I would also like to illuminate, either with ligthstrip or with another type of lighting. Thank you very much for reading me, I hope you find the time to answer me regards.
If you don‘t want the option for later synchronization with the tv, go for the normal light stripes. It is just ambient lighting and good for your eyes. Maybe test it before with a normal lamp with warm light placed behind your tv. Do you have an OLED tv? Because often, OLED tv user do not want ambient lighting due to the deep blacks and contrasts. So, first try if you like it with a current lamp, then think about option for synchronization later on. If not: go for the normal light stripes. If you want the option, go for the Play Gradient that is made for TV synchronization. And then you can buy the other gradient lightstripe for you tv furniture and also sync it.
hello, thanks for the vid. one quetion, if I turn the gradient (not the tv one) on at maximum power, does a luminous flux remain continuous or do I always see separate lights?
If I understand it correctly, you want to know if you see separate leds when having the strip on 100%? And yes, you see them but not so badly. But would always advice to mount them „indirect“ so you see the light but not the strip. At the end of the video, you can see it quite good I think. If not, I could do another video maybe?
Can you install the Gradient ambiance light strip at the back of a 43” TV? I mean getting a 2m gradient ambience strip for top and 2 side and then add 1m gradient ambiance for the bottom of the TV. Is this possible for syncing with the HDMI sync box?
I don‘t think that the sync box can handle this because it won‘t know „where“ you strip is at the back. Better buy a 55“ play gradient strip and a gradient ambiance for the bottom. But both are pricy and too long for that. Would be a waste of money. For that, you can buy a new 42“ inch ambilight tv 😅
@@kiro_tv Thanks for your reply. How about if I just get the Gradient Light Strip Ambience 2m Base Kit only. What just strip Sync with the Hue Sync box? If not then I will just forget it the light strip for my bedroom TV. I already have the Philips Hue Play Gradient Strip 55" for my main TV in the living room. I thought of having the same amazing lights for my 43" bedroom TV.
I think it will only show „one side“ of the TV then :/
@@kiro_tv only one side? The. It is useless to get Gradient Light strip ambiance for my 43” TV.
Sad the smallest size for the Gradient play light strip is 55”. I can use play bars but the play bars don’t stick well at the back of the TV. My 43” TV is wall mounted. If I put them down on the desk than the play bars won’t show the lights well if the TV is wall mounted
@@mcube7442 I currently put a 55“ one on my 48“ LG. Will do the same with my new 42“ LG OLED C2. I found some help over at reddit. Hopefully it will work. But still only 3 sides more or less (will be some light on the bottom but not the correct colors). Also, Philips is about to bring new Play Ambience Light Strips for Monitors.
The gradient one much better and brighter right? Could you put 3 meter strip at back of sofa and it would light a mediun size room?
It would „light“ the room. Depending on the color (red is way darker than white ofc) and the brightness (100% white is very bright). Also, it is still ambient light. Not coming from the ceiling. But yes, i would say you could use it as your only light in the room.
i saw the candle effect but can you customize like half lightstrip off and the other half on?? or u can only adjust brightness but not turn it off
Oh sorry, overlooked your comment. I think this should work, but afaik not with the standard hue app. There are different third party apps that should be able to do the trick. But I‘m not 100% sure about this. If you find out if and how it works, please post a comment here :) thx!
The strip that you can extend, it says up to 32ft. Is that 32ft on a single power adapter? Would the brightness start diminishing towards the end?
I don‘t know for sure, but I think I‘ve read that you should use a bigger power adapter for longer stripes (100 Watt). Also, I think I remember that the brightness overall decreases with length / smaller power adapters. BUT like I said, I don‘t know for sure. So, take it with a grain of salt :)
Hi, do you think a 65" inch gradient can Fit in a 55" tv?
Hi, why don‘t you buy the 55“ version? There are 55“, 65“ and 75“ versions available. 55“ should be perfect for a 55“.
Hi, do you know if this strips will work in Canada? (using the corresponding plug/socket over there)
I think so? You have the hue hub?
@@kiro_tv Well, right now I'm considering alternatives, possibly in a few months I'll move there (now living in the EU) and don't want to buy all over again. I was wondering if just with a different plug to the wall the lights will work for the difference in voltage between countries.
@@i0verlook I did not test this, but from my experience, a simple change of the wallplug should do the trick. The hue strips are all the same worldwide afaik.
@@kiro_tv Thanks for the info! Didn't know that
@@i0verlook another thing: EU has 220/230v - Canada has 120v afaik. BUT: the light strips do have a converter. So maybe you only need to switch the plug and maybe the brick(converter) that connects to the strip.
Hi, is there a way to make my gradient hue light from my back of the TV, do the rainbow effect? Just when you install those lights, they do a rainbow effect, but after that , there is no way to do the effect, you know gradient striplight has like 7-8 sections of lights, which turn on indepentedly, how can i do the rainbow effect with another app?
Maybe it does work with a third party app like „iconnectHUE“ (probably costs a small amount as in-app purchase) or another one that does support the gradient strips
@@kiro_tv I cant find it on play store, its for apple?
@@CustomTeslaLightshows oh yes, sorry. I did not know if it is available for android. But there must be similar apps for android, I guess. The Hue app itself can only do candle and fire so far (might change in the future).
You can create a custom scene in the official app and set the gradient colors of the strip to red, green and blue. Then save the scene and edit its options to set the dynamic speed to the max. Then when you click the "play" button to activate the dynamic scene, it will cycle through the rainbow colors. No 3rd party app needed!
@@marioman1117 cool man, I just did it. The app is Not very intituive. Also the rainbow looks better when you are installing them for first time.
New question, i tried doing a routine on alexa, when camera detects people, i want the gradient strip to play the rainbow effect, it just turns on the gradient strip with static lights, what can i do?
3:37 i have this one but cant conected to my wizz app, can you help?
Wizz app? You need the hue app. From there, you can add it to other apps/standards like apple homekit or google home / amazon alexa etc.
@@kiro_tv did i need addition device or not?
You need the Philips hue hub (small box) afaik. I don‘t think it will work with bluetooth only.
How do you add that candle effects?
Newest official Hue app. Works only with supported devices like the gradient strips. Won‘t work with the normal hue light strips
@@kiro_tv My bulb did not able to updated by normal hue app, this was the problem. I could update them only when I connect them via bluetooth.. thx!
I just got one of the light strips...how do you get/do the candle and flame effects? I found something on Hue Labs but it just flashes the entire strip at the same time...not anything like in your video.
Did you get the gradient strip? Or the normal one? The normal one only can do one color at a time.
Great work thanks
Thx :)

What about it :) ?
Creepy watching videos where reviewers don't speak.
I try to do it like the IKEA manuals 😅 self explanatory. Also, I want to make the videos for everyone - not only in German or English. If there are questions, just ask here :)
@@kiro_tv thankyou for the review , was nice to see the brightness difference between all the strips :)
Creepy as hell and the gloves too. Where does he hide the bodies? Waste of time.
@@alreno76 🤫 or I‘ll come for you 🤣. Anyway, thx for your feedback.
@@kiro_tv 🤣🤣😂

Yeah… eh… because… that‘s why! 😅 it was free and I don‘t make money with the videos.
