Philips Launches Brighter, Expandable 'Hue Lightstrip Plus'

[Analog Kid]

Like the 60s and tie die, or the 80's and big hair, I can't help thinking that when our kids make period sitcoms they're going to indicate our era with overly saturated "mood" lighting everywhere...

Lol bro you're lying. I own four Hue light strips and as other's have pointed out, it's about the size of a apple remote. Quit the drama gig dude.

Why would I lie about my experience with it? It is enough weight to cause the strip to unstick

I've had good luck with 3M products. I bought sets of tiny plastic hooks designed to hold Christmas light wires in place. I didn't use the hooks but did use the double-sided adhesive strips that came with the hooks. They also have the benefit of being removable. The hard part is having the patience to press and hold everything until the adhesive firms up and can take the weight of whatever you're sticking. If you let go too soon, things tend to fall down.

I think they also sell the adhesive tabs by themselves without hooks.

I use the 3M products for the hue taps and they work really good.

exactly, it is too close to the actual strip. It needs to be right next to the power plug.

All four of my power bricks had adhesive on them. Clearly you didn't use the adhesive on yours.

Mine definitely did not have adhesive. It was about 1 year ago, so I wonder if that is a change they made?

Can somebody explain to me how these connect with the app? I assume they have built in Wi-Fi?

It's not that close the cord is rather long
