Been building the Hue light groups for a few years now. Just like you say..they may be a bit more but they work well. Latest addition is the square outdoor deck light and additional light strips in the kitchen above and under cabinets. Google assistant controls them when not using the magnetic hue switches.

[@20YrOldPizza]

I go with the Smart Life app, the lights are 50% cheaper than Hue...But I've stuck with the app and products, all in all, if your getting control of all of your lighting with one app at whatever cost, it's just awesome.

[@taimurutube-rcmaniac-basherrc]

Great video! Had a question on the LED light strips. Did you need two separate power plugs for the strip behind your desk and then for the one behind your monitor? Just wondering how that works because they are two separate light strips?

[@TheMillionDollarDropout]

Looks beautiful, I actually found your set up some weeks ago and it inspired the current set up I am currently... Well... Setting up. I already got the TITAN CHAIR last week, so glad to see you have it. I'm sure that's a good sign lol. Did anyone see him test the "Video" effects out? I only saw him cover the Music and Game effect on the app. I wanted to know if the video mode works, that's the one where the colors are supposed to match what's going on on-screen making whatever you're looking at much more immersive. I originally thought that effect was only achievable if you had the Philips PLAY product bar thing but I heard it's do-able with just the light strips. :L

[@TheMillionDollarDropout]

4 Months later, hey! I'm pretty much fully set up as of well, maybe a week after the OP! Lol! I have my speakers mounted on my wall, right beside my Ultrawide (same monitor as this dude) but read of many many issues with many of these LG monitors so may play it safe, and sell it, then get an Alienware AW20 or whatever, the white one, basically, even though it has a lower refresh rate. (120, vs LG's 144) but I think anyway it has the cooler aesthetics to make up for it and higher nit count for I think, more true color or something like that. I forgot the tech jargon I read about it.

[@TheMillionDollarDropout]

Also, the video mode effects for the Phillips hue stuff is fucking kickass!! I went with a third party app called HUESTACEAN to get the most accurate colors in the areas I wanted and it's soooooooooooo good for movies and games!

[@pvz2account547]

​@@TheMillionDollarDropout are you using play bars or light strips?

[@Sid51]

Hey man, can you give more info on what products are you using? Iam planning to upgrade the lighting system of my office, and i have not decided yet which system i should use.

[@nope6786]

Philips Hue isn't that buggy, but has a major lack of features compared to lifx. Life make a better apple and better hardware, like their lights and lights strips can show up 16 colours at once.

[@richardhead8826]

Installed the light strip on my desk in the same place you did...I love it. The only complaint I might have with the entire setup is the fact they use small pieces of cover for the 3M strip making it really annoying to peel and stick. I think using a single cover for the tape would be much easier.

[@TheMillionDollarDropout]

Trust me, you don't want that. I had a cheap eBay light strip that was like that, it had one while peelable piece and it was a mess because it would all peel off as I was trying to lay the strip gently. It ended up falling on the floor, on the sticky part and bam, stickiness was gone for good pretty much lol.

[@hypnofba]

Hi! I love this setup! Which lamp is this on your desk? Cant find it :/

[@deedeewiththemustache3682]

I wonder how many led light strips you bought in total. I wonder if the LED light extension you bought is used behind your monitor screen?

[@PCBattlestations]

Sorry, never explained this well. I bought 2 full sized (80") lightstrips and 1 40" extension. I used 1 full + 1 extension behind my desk and 1 full behind my monitor.

[@joelcarnaje3311]

Very amazing

[@jc4566]

Can you use Phillips hue without home WiFi, just using your smartphone or tablet cellular service?

[@PCBattlestations]

I dont believe so. It communicates via the Zigbee protocol or bluetooth.

[@connorsmith5255]

can you do a rainbow spectrum on the hue?

[@PCBattlestations]

The Hue doesnt have addressable LED's so it can't do a rainbow in one lightstrip. It can do a color loop changing the whole lightstrip to different colors but not individual leds on the lightstrip

[@pascalshopify]

I tried it, but it does not attach at all behind TV and everyting when you remove the protective band. How did you do ?

[@Dropsen1]

+PC Battlestations how do you connect those lightstrips to app? Did you bought philips bridge? I just want to buy 2 separate led lightstrips (one for desk, and one for TV) and connect them together.

[@PCBattlestations]

Correct. You get the bridge

Amazing

Someone probably posted this here somewhere and I missed it. But for all the questions about the necessity of the sync box... I just found out there is a HUE Sync App for Windows. It allows you to sync the lights of your pc monitor without the box: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKetnZWOft-ZldE

Do the lights have to be on the same WiFi network for them to work?

[@PCBattlestations]

No. The lights talk through the bridge that is connected to your wireless router and uses the Zigbee wireless network or the ZLL protocol. Some bulbs now can even use Bluetooth. If you want to control your lights remotely, you can set up Apple HomeKit or enable controlling them through their cloud: www.gearbrain.com/philips-hue-enable-remote-control-2644961622.html
