Philips Hue Play Gradient Light Tube

An 'Open box' designation means the item was previously returned or displayed but has been inspected and verified to be in excellent, new condition. You receive all the functionality of a brand-new unit, often at a better value.

Yes, to unlock the full range of smart features, dynamic lighting effects, and app control, you will need to connect this device to a Philips Hue Bridge.

Unlike standard LEDs that display a single color at once, the Gradient technology allows the tube to blend multiple colors simultaneously along its length. This creates a more fluid, immersive light effect that mimics the colors on your TV screen.

This is the Large model, measuring approximately 54 inches in length. It is best suited for larger TVs, typically 65 inches and above, to ensure the light spread aligns properly with the screen dimensions.

While the Hue app offers the most granular control, you can integrate the tube with other smart home platforms or voice assistants if you have the Hue Bridge set up. However, for initial setup and advanced customization, the dedicated app is required.

The Hue Play Gradient Light Tube is designed primarily to sit on a surface, such as a TV stand or media console, beneath your screen. It is not intended for direct wall mounting.
