These lights are way too dim for that price, no thanks

Good lights but very high price

Good and honest review, thank you.

50 Hue lights. I don't even want to do the math on that

I’ve got about 170

Twinkly are way better. 3D Mappable And brighter. However the app is pretty horrible.

LED lights just do not look Christmas-y to me. The colors look like carnival lighting or something. They don't have that warm glow that the old-fashioned lights had. I guess you won't even be able to buy the old ones eventually.

This times 10 trillion. LED lights as Christmas decorations have made everything look cold, uninviting.

I still like these Hue lights. I have no interest in putting them on a tree or using them for Christmas decoration. I would use them for other purposes. Needs to drop to $100, then I'll pick up a few sets.

I disagree that using LED lights for Christmas or in house look cold. So, many ways to change them, not sure how that is even possible. I like both led and the old fashioned lights. Fine with either, but costs savings is greater with LED’s.

For that price, just get Twinkly. Good lord.

Why are there no green wired smart lights?

Lights for the rest of us.

More importantly, what are the ugly color splotches on your upper walls? 🤮 😉

Who wants a "Gamer/Streamer RGB" tree? ... yuck (I mean to each their own.. but not for me)

I'll stick with the 8$ programable flashy lights from amazon...

Fully agree. I have bunch of Twinkly. And, I agree, the app sucks. When it works, it's amazing. But, very poor quality.

I don't see how any one would buy these Hue. Way over priced. I think Twinkly is a bit over price. And, these are double. Crazy.

Hue prices have gone berserk.
