$20 Strip Light vs $200 Strip Light – Philips Hue
This video will compare $20 Strip Light vs $200 Strip Light.
The two Strip Lights I am going to compare today are the Philips Hue, which needs a network bridge and a generic $20 Strip Light.
Starting price for the generic strip lighting is $20s and the Philips Hue range will be around $200.
If we take a look at the $20 strip light first. The box contains the RGB Control Box. This control box allows us to power the strip lighting and it also allows us to use the infrared remote control to change the color of the LED strip.

Hi Guys! Like this video or not? let me know in the comments field.
you can get a bluetooth adaptor for $3 and replace the adaptor with the remote on the cheap strip and make any strip usable with your phone, have 16 million colors, etc, and as a bonus you get music sync. so, for a slight increase in brightness, the Philips hue is not worth the price.
is a nz power plug the same as an Aussie one?
I can turn off and on all lights in my room wherever I am in the world. They are much more reliable. I have them to turn on at 5:30 gradually every morning as a natural alarm. I have them synced up through Razer Synapse so when I play games my entire room becomes immersed. If utilized correctly, Philips Hue is MUCH better.
They are actually $80
its a lightstrip
For that price way to expensive even if it is brighter than the cheap one
Hi there, I wonder if you could provide a one year later perspective. The first being the brightness and life of each strip now, as well as practicality of using more than one around the house. The other is whether the Hue has been replaced with an updated version and same with the less expensive version. I ask because I have bought inexpensive led bulbs (60) for various applications, however the leds’ themselves started burning out in less than six months, flickering, etc…, essentially defeating the advantages of purchasing led bulbs. Are they not supposed to last long, like 15,000 to 30,000 hours?
Thank you
Each strip has a plug?
At 5:01 it literally says requires hue bridge in that box below ultimate flexibility
What’s the voltage of that power supply on the cheaper one? I’d imagine it is only 5v and he se why it is not as bright as the hue using 12v. Easy fix.
the advantage of hue is that you can have your whole living room under entertainment. Meaning what happens on the tv it reflects on the lights. also Hue is just one app and you can control all your lights at once instead of many lights on different way´s. I even added my ikea lights in the hue system. hue is much more versatile then 10 remotes or 4 differents apps to control your lights.it is worth the money . Soon i will make a video with philips hue connected to my nvidia shield showing the lights in action.
Well it is 200 but once ya have the bridge then your good. If you buy the bulbs all that shit
My "cheap" Alibaba LEDs lasted for 8 years and then some LEDs lost brightness
Philiphs hue is a rip off. LeD isnt even addressable
Who would buy 200$ led strips
Idk cuz damn that’s expensive just for lights
I got a Black Friday deal which was only 20 dollars for 32.8 ft!! (Around 11m) and they work great I don’t have to get up to turn off my lights in the night too
better than your 5$ mircophone
Lmao if your only gonna use the light strip for hues then don’t buy hue lights… you should at least have the light bulbs… I just use the white ambience
I’ve had 3 sets of cheap ones and something on them always breaks so I went with the hue and they been working great for awhile now
Thanks heaps! I was thinking I'd have to spend a small fortune on the Phillips light until I found this. Thank you! Much appreciated 🙂
Bout $80 difference and 5% better🤣🤦♂️
140$ to waste
the box says hue bridge required
At 4:57 towards the bottom of the left-side box it says that you require a Hue Bridge.
who else was looking for the comment: "he sounds like lazarbeam"
I got a plastic coated one for about 2 years now and i got 5m (15ft) for $15 so the phillips ones are really just irrelevant to buy
If you know a bit in electronis you can do so much with the cheap strips and if it breaks, just buy a new one..
And for 10times the price, the bit better looking colors of the Phillips isn't really worth it in my opinion..
Can you still put it on and off with a remote by Philips hue??
You can buy a smart home adapter (magic home) and then your cheap led stripe is smart too (10€ / magic home rgbw controller)
Philips hue aren't worth its money in any way
On ebay you can buy 10m led strip with controller and plug for 25 €
The Philips hue are way to overpriced
I bought the same philips hue ledstrip for 54 euro`s so not that expensive, also if you just use bulbs you dont have to buy a bridge because they are bluetooth.
Add 5:01 you see ad the box on the left side down in the litlle sqaure you need the bridge for it to work it clearly on the package you see it in video 👊😏
My first purchase was a good one. 3 hue light bulbs with the bridge for $100. Now every hue device I want I can control. Alexa upgraded with the bridge as well.
It does say you would require a hue bridge in the back!
I got a 10m for $7 usd
I would have liked to see other comparisons. Yeelight strip is $50, and it is a smart light with an app. How does that compare?
Philip's products are an over priced scam
