It's really, really cool, and it can do things no other string lights can do
And do it together with your other lamps
Can be stored in the box for the rest of the year
And do it together with your other lamps
Can be stored in the box for the rest of the year
It's probably the most expensive string light you've ever seen
But if you're already a Hue user, you will be accustomed to the price
For indoor use only
Not extendable

The Philips Hue Play light bars are well designed and easy to mount in a variety of ways
making them a good fit for spots where bulbs aren't an option. You can connect three to a single power supply to help cut down on cord clutter around your surge protector.

The Play lights don't feature built-in batteries or any other unique extra features. Despite a high price tag
the starter kit doesn't come with the mandatory Hue Bridge.
