I have a Philips set up in my house I don’t wanna spend crazy money I have probably got every Philip product you can get And one thing I think it’s crazy when they say you can cut the wire why would you want to do that That’s like throwing money away.
*My daughter got it for me and I love **Newest.Technology** so easy to use, the music is perfect, and the sound is not to bad for a small device. It is really perfect for me. I can take it outside and still works fine.*
Have you tried this with the HDMI sync box? The only issue I have is that on the app you can’t replicate the slight vertical after the corner? So the colour may not be ideally matched?
Hello, is your led strip still working despite the bended angles how you installed it on the TV ? I have read it Can create hot spots and make the strips fail. Thx
Just watched your video and I’m really excited cause I’m getting my Phillips hue light strip plus today and going to install it on my LGOLED65CS6LA TV but the way I was going to have it I’ve noticed that if I put it around the edge of my tv at the bottom where my stand is you have got the TV speaker and I don’t really want to put the light strip over the bottom tv speakers any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻
Great video, @JAGTech! Curious why you opted for a 2x Lightstrip Plus setup, instead of a single Lightstrip Plus with one or two 1m/3ft extensions? Assuming either setup would work perfectly fine in this application? Thanks!
1. to have a top and bottom section. 4:02 2. When you have more than 3m strips on one unit you lose on brightness.. the more unit you hang on after 3m will be getting darker and darker
If you have a PC connected to your TV you can sync hue lights now with video/games or music playing on the PC. If you ever do this I hope you’ll post a short follow up clip of how it looks

Good job with the light strips. I have been wondering if cutting in the corner connectors is worth the extra time and money and I can see from your video that it is not.
you need a hdmi splitter , a raspberry pi or any device that run raspbian, a hdmi convertor to av and video capture. Also will not work on app from tv or live tv, But if you have playstation , xbox etc will work : www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Ambilight-With-Raspberry-Pi-and-NO-Arduino-Wor/
Hi the part at 4:02 is that lit up by one strip at the bottom and one strip at the top? (No strips needed on the side?) as that looks nice. Also would I have to buy two strips, if so what size would you recommend for a 70" TV to get this? Thank you so much, I just got my first hue set today and want to get some strips to go behind my TV like this. Thank you for kindly helping 😊
If I were to use an extension as opposed to a second strip base, would I be able to control the colors on each strip separately? Or would both strips stay the same color? I hope that made sense lol.
For those wondering how to syncronize the scenes on the TV with the Lightstrip (or any other Philips Hue product color capable): install in your Smartphone an app that enables the phone's camera to "watch" the TV. For Android, I am using hueDynamic. The app will communicate with the Philips Hue Bridge, which in turn will change the Lighstrip color scheme to match the predominant color of whatever is being displayed on the TV. Another app (like Wakey) may also be needed to keep the camera active when the Smartphone's screen times-out (causing the camera to stop working). Positioning the Smartphone to watch the TV may be tricky, as the phone's camera should capture only the TV screen (and not the surroundig lights, including the Ligthstrip itself). I am using the Smartphone front camera mounted on support (meant for bikes) attached to nearby chair.
Wish you could install an app on your Smart TV that works with the Hue bridge for sync colors with your TV, without using a PC for Netflix (Chromecast).
@@tashadfowler3465 you can also buy a cheap phone, install the hue camera app and point it at the TV while watching a movie. It will also catch the colors from the tv
How do I calibrate my gradient ligjts amd symckbox? Are they supoused to work with regular tv too? Do I need to conect it to bluethooth eventhough they are wi fi, they do not seem to sync with the movie:(
Your lights will be facing the TV, opposed to lighting up the wall. Also make sure your lights themselves aren’t visible. Not sure how the final result will turn out, but do take a video and let us know!

What kind of adhesive is on these strips? Currently I have a cheap led strip and it's already getting lose, so the adhesive is far from great. Hope this is good on the Philips.
Thijs van Abs The adhesive on the Philips is ‘ok’ at best. Provided you clean the surface well it should be fine. But after 2-3 months it will start to peel in places, you only need to give it a firm push back down for it to be back in place. I’ve had no real issues.
Did you need to plug in BOTH sets of strips? I thought you could connect both sets of strips together, and thus use only one plug. Am I correct on this or will I need two plugs?
A benefit I see in having two strips would be when the software improves that monitors whats on your screen and reflects it through light. When the software reaches this level of sophistication, the top strip could show a different color than the bottom, allowing for a more immersive lighting experience during scenes with two drastically different colors (i.e. sunrises, students, ocean scenes, earth scenes from outer space, etc.) If you're not concerned with this, than the expansion should be fine with just one strip.
Wait, you can use extensions without ever needing the strips? I doubt that, right? The extensions are significantly cheaper. I am considering doing this for my TV. Right now I have a very cheap led strip on the back of the TV but it's just not good, the adhesive is already loosening too.
Obviously not, otherwise the ambilight feature would just be void and anyone willing to light up their tv could install a couple of light strips on them instead. I own hue, even though its magical, unfortunately, philips has not stressed enough on their app software. They themselves will recommend you third party apps, yes, that sync music and the lights which definitely are not up to the mark as of yet. I sporadically use them to create a sort of a mood, ambience and for that hue is the right option but unless those lights are way too intriguing for you and you need accurate change in ambience with what is shown on your television, well that's what the ambilight tv is for.
wwecool09 it is possible now. But it is mandatory to play the video from a pc on your tv. Then it is as good as real ambilight. Not anyone wants to set up a pc for this including a nas and access via remote.
I have a 65 inch tv and wanted to do something similar, would I be able to do this with 1 hue lightstrip plus (80 inches) and 1 extension (40 inches) or would I need a second extension? Can I add a second extension to an already existing one or is it just 1 extension Max? Thank you

gearaxis Hi, yes you’ll need a bridge to access the app and change colours. Otherwise you will only have the default cream white colour, and will only be able to turn off and on using the power strip.
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
If you don’t have that hdmi sync box which cost a billion of dollars you control lights only. Which for some people are great. The sync box for the price is a rip off. Until there are competitors the price will stay high but once challenged that price will drop like a bad habit.
If you're wiping the back of the tv, you might as well wipe the whole thing. My wife wouldn't feed me for a week for a half arse job like that. Also the cables behind the tv need some love.

🤔 I don't understand why people spend $200 on all of this if they are just going to use it to light up the television and not used the Hue entertainment sync aspect of it. I paid $10 4/16 ft of LED strip and $10 for Corner connectors so I could literally cut the strips to the length I need it and not have to pinch them and plugged it into a 20 zigbee module which is the same company that designs Phillip hue all that under 50 bucks and runs off my hue bridge.🤔

This is exactly what I was looking for on a “how to video “. Great job, thank you!
Do I need a Phillip hue bridge to connect it or its work without hue Bridge?
Beautiful house man!
Have you tried this with the HDMI sync box? The only issue I have is that on the app you can’t replicate the slight vertical after the corner? So the colour may not be ideally matched?
Have you gotten the sync yet to run on your lightstrips? I'd like to see an update to your setup if you have the sync box already!!!
Hello, is your led strip still working despite the bended angles how you installed it on the TV ? I have read it Can create hot spots and make the strips fail. Thx
Where did you get the wall unit under your tv? Looking for something exactly like that. I'm based in Ireland. If you have a link I'd appreciate it.
You have a nice place very clean-looking
I’m just getting ready to set up my lights and found your video very helpful
Thanks so much 🙂

So you need Hue bridge and Synx box, both of them for lights to match colors of tv screen?
Why install two strips and not just get the extension?
Do you find that it starts to unstick (especially in the corners where you pinched it)?
That case just put some invisible tape and its done.
With hue sync, how do you tell Philips the placement to sync with inputs?
Great video, @JAGTech! Curious why you opted for a 2x Lightstrip Plus setup, instead of a single Lightstrip Plus with one or two 1m/3ft extensions? Assuming either setup would work perfectly fine in this application? Thanks!
I do one strip light with extension and works great.
Why do you buy 2 sets and not extend one set
1. to have a top and bottom section. 4:02
2. When you have more than 3m strips on one unit you lose on brightness.. the more unit you hang on after 3m will be getting darker and darker
@@ghostkick267 so if I have a 2m strip and a meter strip then connect them, they will get darker with time?

I like the corners technique 👍
Does it works with TV's inbuilt apps like UA-cam and Netflix

Do they stay up a long time when you pinch them or would it be worth getting the corner clips ??hows your set up is it on still??
Same question!
Does this connect to your tv? Or do you need to turn it on every time you turn the tv on?
since it is connected to the wall and not the TV, I guess you have to turn it on via the App or Google Home etc
Good job with the light strips. I have been wondering if cutting in the corner connectors is worth the extra time and money and I can see from your video that it is not.
so thy work like a normal cheap light strip with your tv. i wanted it to react to your tv image just like philips ambilight tvs
you need a hdmi splitter , a raspberry pi or any device that run raspbian, a hdmi convertor to av and video capture. Also will not work on app from tv or live tv, But if you have playstation , xbox etc will work : www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Ambilight-With-Raspberry-Pi-and-NO-Arduino-Wor/
Buy a Hue Sync Box but you won’t want to use LightStrip Plus, use the Play Bars instead.

Your TV set up looks great. Simple yet very effective.

You nailed it. If you do an extension then you can only do a single color. I'm guessing he did it this way to enable 1/2 and 1/2.
can you connect the lightstrips to an hdmi sync box?
I bought a $22 pack but it’s not enough for my whole tv sadly. Did you buy the larger 60 dollars box or two smaller sized ones?
whit philips strip not gradient you can sanc your screen ?
So there's no way to sync the rgb strips with the content that show the tv? Thanks for help me
There are a few apps that do this such as Hue Sync and 3rd party alternatives, will do a follow up to showcase this in action soon.

Hue sync app is the choice with entertsinment area
amazing setu where did you get your floating tv cabnet?
What are the apos called that you can download to sync what your watching on t.v. with your lights?
Hue Camera
Wish you could install an app on your Smart TV that works with the Hue bridge for sync colors with your TV, without using a PC for Netflix (Chromecast).
That is the dumbest thing hue has done.. in order to sync something it has to run through your computer or mirror..that is stupid
@@tashadfowler3465 you can also buy a cheap phone, install the hue camera app and point it at the TV while watching a movie. It will also catch the colors from the tv

Hi, is there a way for the RGB to respond to what's on screen, like Phillips TVs can?
Check out their new product the hue Link sync something!
I just bought this today, i got a 55" led samsung. i was thinking of maybe sticking it right on the wall behind the tv. should work the same right?

Hi mate. Is that a plasterboard wall, if yes how secure is the tv bracket and do you have a link to it. Thanks
You would install the VESA mount into the studs behind the wall.
dzurisintube thanks
nice video but what happened to your cables? i didn't see any at the end.
What kind of entertainment center is that
So 2,2 meter strips as I have 65 inch tv also
Did you need to plug in BOTH sets of strips? I thought you could connect both sets of strips together, and thus use only one plug. Am I correct on this or will I need two plugs?
Hi, for a 65inch TV (with 2 strips) you’ll need to plug in both. For a 55inch TV, a 2m strip and a 1m extension requires only 1 plug.
Isn’t this connected to a power outlet charger ?Wouldn’t the hires be hanging from it being connected to outlet ?
If you look at the video he has a hidden elevated outlet behind the TV.
Curious why you used two separate light strips rather than buying the extensions? Either way, looks good and I love the corner idea

You can use a cat5 cable and solder it on the ends to combine two of them.

You should put one strip in the tv, in a circular way , and the other strip down of that table.
Very clean setup, I love it :-)
How have I managed to hide ur optical cable and hdmi’s?
It's fished inside the sheetrock
Yea ^ he has a condiut

Actually I was hoping you had a Philips TV that supports Hue Light. That should be working just the way ambilight works, or am I wrong?!
The lighting effect works much better if you stick the strip, as close to the edge as possible.
Lee Southall true, however if your TV mount moves around like mine having the strips too close to the edge will mean it may be visible...
I think the light would be a little too strong if stuck to the edges. It looks great this way, a bit more subtle.
Do you need a bridge for the lightstrip?
gearaxis Hi, yes you’ll need a bridge to access the app and change colours. Otherwise you will only have the default cream white colour, and will only be able to turn off and on using the power strip.

How do you connect it to your phone
Daniel Golden with a hue bridge and the hue app 👍
or just buy a phillips amberlight tv? then the colour are in sync with whats on tv
i'd argue, that you'd want less rather than more light around your screens, in order to increase perceived contrast.
