They automatically switched on to a default warm white colour at around 70% brightness. Just like any of the other Hue products, they immediately turn on. Once your light bars are on their stands on a shelf or stuck to your TV, plug them into the adapter and power them on. The horizontal stands would be better suited to mounting on the back of the TV or lying them down on a TV stand, shelf or counter and directing the light up the wall and a little onto the ceiling. The vertical stands could be used to place the light bars upright on a shelf, behind a tv or in the corner of a room, facing a feature wall and are best suited for directing the light across the length of the wall. You’re given two sets of mounting stands, one vertical and one horizontal. The installation of the light bars is quite easy as well. If you change your mind about the positioning, get a new TV or move home then you’ll need to buy another set of discs to stick the stands on with, and given that they claim that the lights will last around 25 years, this seems pretty likely. I also think they could have included a second set of double sided adhesive discs. The app and interface is really intuitive but I can see how someone who’s not too familiar with technology may struggle a bit. I had no problem setting up the bars and pairing them to my bridge, app and switches. The information guides are typically brief with links to more detailed information. Inside the box are the two bars, the power adaptor (which can power up to three bars), two vertical stands, two horizontal stands, an allen/hex key and screws, two double sided stick on discs and two information guides. Maybe I’m just being overly critical, but a simple tab or lift here/pull here arrow or sticker would have made unboxing a bit easier. You kind of have to fiddle around a bit to pull them out enough to get the rest of the packaging out without pulling too much on the power cables. The bars are pretty well held in place, with the thin power cords wrapped into the backing sheet and no pull tab to lift them out or pull the cardboard insert out of the box. The packaging of the bars is neat and I understand what they were going for but it can be a bit frustrating to unpack. They also provide links to more information, which help out if you run into trouble.įolding this instruction panel away reveals the two light bars, which were a bit smaller than I was expecting. Opening up the lid of the box reveals a basic set of instructions which should be sufficient to get a tech savvy individual up and running.
