#PHILIPS HUE GRADIENT LIGHTSTRIP PLUS#
Philips Hue has not simply given the Lightstrip Plus a gradient function, but has delivered a completely new light strip that is superior to its little brother in absolutely all respects. My conclusion on the Philips Hue Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip Nevertheless, it is even a little bit brighter with 1,800 lumens at 4,000 Kelvin. In addition, the Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip has a milky silicone cover, so it doesn’t look quite as naked as its predecessor. Just take a look at what a difference this makes in the illumination. The distance between the LEDs is only two centimetres. I counted almost 100 coloured LEDs, and there are probably a similar number of warm white and cool white ones. The new Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip from Philips Hue has many more individual LEDs. In the following picture you can see the old Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus in my kitchen, where I had to mount it directly on the wall due to the construction. If it is placed too close to a wall, the individual light points are very clearly visible there. One of the biggest weaknesses of the previous Lightstrip Plus is the spacing of the individual LEDs, which are about six centimetres apart.

The technical improvements are impressive In addition, the Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip also lights up in multiple colours in predefined scenes and the new dynamic scenes. I personally find the solution chosen by Philips Hue very good, by the way, because the handling in the app is very simple and the colour gradients can be created easily. 16 individual segments can be controlled by the controller.

Philips Hue promised five segments that can be freely adjusted – presumably this will be increased via a software update.ĭue to the automatically generated colour gradients, the Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip can display more than three colours at the same time. The special feature: In the colour selection, the light strip appears as a group, the three segments can then be placed freely and thus create fancy colour gradients. Of course, the Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip is connected and controlled normally with the Philips Hue App. The Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip in the App At least this is somewhat better than the Lightstrip Plus, which can be shortened every 33 centimetres. The individual sections are accordingly 25 centimetres long. Seven small arrows indicate where the scissors can be used. What I find a bit unfortunate is that the light strip apparently cannot be shortened in as many places as previously thought.

The Ambiance Gradient Light Strip can also be extended up to ten metres, whereby the connection is not made via six pins as before, but only via their four. At the end of the light strip there is a small plastic cap that provides a nicer end. In addition, there is a power supply with two plugs for EU and UK, the ZigBee controller and a long cable to connect these two parts.

In the plastic-free packaging, you will find a small manual and the obligatory safety instructions, as well as the light strip itself. This is in the boxīut first, let’s take a look inside the box.

And we’re not just talking about the number of colours that can be displayed simultaneously. But after unpacking and installing the Ambiance Gradient Light Strip, I can assure you that it is far superior to the well-known Lightstrip Plus. The price is definitely a house number, we don’t need to discuss that.
