Smart light bar Philips Hue Play double pack — ZigBee, black, 2×253×44 mm, 2 m cable

The Philips Hue Play double pack contains two compact smart light bars in black designed for ambient and accent lighting. Each light bar measures 253 × 44 mm and connects to AC power via a 2 m cable. These ZigBee-enabled light bars integrate with Hue ecosystems and compatible smart home platforms through supported bridges or hubs, and they work with Android 10–12 and iOS 14–15 mobile operating systems. With an energy consumption of 13.2 kWh per 1000 hours (energy class G), the Play bars are suitable for creating backlighting for TVs, enhancing a desk area, or adding mood lighting to living spaces.

Advantages

The slim, compact design allows flexible placement: the light bars can stand upright, lie flat, or be mounted on the back of a TV using the provided mounts. The set includes a power supply capable of powering up to three lights, simplifying installation and cable management. Tunable multi-colour output and ZigBee connectivity offer synchronized lighting effects with other compatible devices and scenes. The product’s dimensions and low-profile shape make it unobtrusive while delivering a broad wash of colour and adjustable brightness levels.

Usage recommendations

Use lower brightness for evening viewing to reduce eye strain, and configure scenes in the Hue app for automatic transitions and schedules.
