Why you’ll love it: The Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus is reliable, easy to install, and works with the great Philips Hue app.
If you’re looking for a great smart light strip and want the most reliable one, then the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus is the way to go.
This light strip measures 80 inches and works with the Philips Hue range of smart lighting. Philips also sells a 40-inch extension for the Lightstrip, so if 80 inches isn’t enough for your needs, you can extend it. And, if the 80 inches is too much for your space, you can cut the Lightstrip to better fit.
You can also control the strip with the awesome Philips Hue app, and integrate it with Google Home, Alexa, or HomeKit. It’s important to note that if you do want to use the Philips Hue Lighstrip Plus, you’ll need to buy a Philips Hue hub as well, but if you already use Philips Hue lighting, then you already have a hub set up.
One of the best things about using Philips Hue products is the app. The app is well-designed, easy to use, and you can integrate it with your favorite smart home ecosystem.
There are a few downsides to the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus. Perhaps the most important is that it’s relatively expensive, coming in at $80. As mentioned, it also requires a hub, so if you don’t have a hub already, you’ll need to buy one, which adds to the cost.
Pros: Reliable, works with range of ecosystems, great app
Cons: Expensive, requires hub
