Philips Hue 2Nd Gen Color Changing Light Strip

[73 W ] While this is not the quality of my favorite LED panel that comes in the bright yellow flight case, for the money, these are great. I needed DMX functionality on a budget, and this light serves it up. One note on the DMX functions. You can control brightness, color temp, and hue but this is not documented. Once you set the DMX channel for the fixture as outlined in the docs (call it channel x), that channel controls brightness. DMX channel x+1 controls color temp, and DMX channel x+2 controls hue. Changing the hue value puts the light into RGB mode. Changing the color temp value puts the light into white mode. B&H connected me with the manufacturer to figure out the DMX stuff, and they were prompt with their reply.

[Yes] I've been using Philips Hue for almost 10 years and I'm happy with this smart light system.

[2000 to 6500K] I have a number of lights in the Philips Hue family, and the blooms are no joke! Very light weight, but very well made. It fills up so much of the room with its light without being overpowering. Definitely well worth it!!

[Multicolor] This Accessory is a must if you have Philips Hue Lights. Once set up it works just like a regular light switch with the ability to store up to 4 light settings. No need to open up an App on your phone or computer to turn on lights. I suggest one for each room you have Philips light installed.

[20,000 Hours] Being a home theater enthusiast adding these lights to my philips hue sync box which is already syncing to my tv makes for an unbelievable movie watching experience! Super fast shipping from B&H. I would highly recommend if your a philips fan.

[Upgradeable] I already use Philips Hue lightbulbs (they’re amazing) and decided to try this lamp when we were in the market for a new bedroom floor lamp. What a hit! Its floor footprint is tiny (perfect for our tiny Manhattan apartment) yet the lamp is bright enough to replace a “proper” floor lamp — it delivers way more than just “accent” light. We’re obsessed and already want to buy more.

[Zigbee] Fantastic ambient lighting provided by this strip connected to a HUE Sync Box.

[2100 Lumens] I bought my first Godox tube light a few months ago and absolutely loved it so much that I bought a second. The light and color vary with hue and strength to a point that it suits most photography needs. I did a football shoot and came away extremely happy with the results of just two 12 light tubes. The quality is solid and the controls are easy to use. You will not be disappointed, especially at the sales price it is going for right now.

[Yes] I was looking for a control light stick for a while now and that's my second light stick. I found this one to be stronger and I love the ease of selecting the exact hue and color that I want. And the big benefit is the video light effects for simulating difference scenarios. Sometimes I use it just to create atmospheric light at the house for gathering. That was a well used purchase. Little on the expensive side but very functional.

[21.525 lb] I use my Kenko meter for sports photography in arenas. Tired of the color temp of your backgrounds not matching the color temp of the close-up subject? The light fixtures in most arenas have two colors of non-daylight-colored light. Like most non-incandescent lights, they pulse many times per second -- one dominant color and a second that emits as the power falls off before the next pulse. Although easy enough to look up the specs on the bulb/fixture manufacturer's web page, it's often impossible to determine the precise type of bulb used in your locations fixtures, and in any event the wall paint schemes affect the hue. This meter helps me measure the two temps of the ambient lighting, and then gel my arena strobes first to absorb the primary hue missing from the ambient fixtures, and then to gel again to absorb the second hue. The meter is then used again to fire the strobes, and then by changing the shutter speed on the meter with that single reading, it reports both the color of the strobes and the ambient light to help ensure you've got them reasonably matched. It's expensive, but if you invest the time to master it, you can build formulas and gel packs for every arena you shoot. I've even used it on occasion to gel my camera-mounted strobe to match the ambient light.
