![]() Unfortunately, that does mean two apps are required if you plan on using your light strip with the Sync Box, which is a bit of a pain. Going back to the Hue app, you’ll be taken through the steps to connect the light strip with your Hue Bridge (again, if you have one), but annoyingly, you’ll need to download an additional app (Philips Hue Sync) in order to connect it to your Sync Box. ![]() The light strip can be plugged into the same power adapter as the Sync Box (if you’re lucky enough to have one), otherwise, it does come with its own. With the Hue Bridge, you can at least change the colour of the light, create scenes and control it with your voice assistant of choice, but it’s the Hue Play HDMI Sync Box that’s required in order for the light strip to mirror the colours of your TV in real-time. Without the Hue Bridge and Play HDMI Sync Box, your Play Gradient Lighstrip is just a normal, single-colour, uncustomisable light strip - and a costly one at that. All up, that’s a minimum spend of around $1,000 for those starting their setup from scratch. ![]() What pushes it from premium to ridiculously expensive is the fact that, in order for it to work as advertised, you need two additional Philips Hue products: The Hue Bridge (which comes in Philips Hue smartbulb starter kits, starting from $159.95 RRP, or can be purchased separately for $99.95 RRP) and the Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, which retails for $499.95. A bit pricey, absolutely, but not over-the-top. The Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip starts at $399.95 for 55-inch TVs, $439.95 for 65-inch and $499.95 for 75-inch screens.
