‎philips Hue 555334 Bluetooth Smart Lightstrip Installation Manual

The power brick reads on mine 110-220v.

Yes, but if the LEDs would total more than 20 watts the result may be better using a 5 channel LED amplifier and a 24v power supply of appropriate size. At power-on the Philips control detects if the power draw will exceed the power supply’s capacity and re-scales the output dimmer so that 100% brightness in the app or at the bridge is within the capability of the power supply.

They barely gets warm. The power supply delivers a little over 19W and the maximum delivered to LED strips is around 16W at no more than 8W/meter. Even using double this density single row RGBCCT LED strips with a 5ch LED amplifier and a separate 24V DC power supply you won’t get warmer than the TV itself does. If you used 100LED/m 5-in-1 dual row led strips that would deliver closer to 100W and you would want to put the strips on extrusions and mount the clips on standoffs. That would also put so much light back there you would have to dim them below 25% to watch TV.

Yes, but the LEDs are face emitting not edge emitting, so depending on the exact details the result may cover the LEDs well enough to make turning them on a distinction without a difference. There are led strip channels available to hold the strip at 45° (V channel) or 90° (Up-down channel).

Yes. Use Goo-gone.

The PWM control’s MTBF should be around 20y, 24v power supply is probably closer to 10,000 hours, but it’s replaceable and low cost 3rd party replacements are easy to find. The LEDs themselves use phosphors that will begin to degrade noticeably after around 12,000 to 15,000 hours at 100% brightness. The LED strips themselves are replaceable and 3rd party components are easily found (look for RGBCCT led strips). The only unique component is the control box, which thankfully does have a long expected operating life.

You can use the hue lights via Bluetooth without the Hue Bridge. You won’t be able to control your lights when away, but they work without the bridge. You also cannot use them with Alexa unless you have a bridge.

Yes – the whole thing is very easy and self-explanatory. Toughest part is removing the backing tape to the adhesive w/o removing the tape itself. Go slow.

It depends which model you are asking about. The gradient lights are capable of emitting multiple colors simultaneously. The model that this question is listed under is the Gradient Lightstrip 80inch base with the 40inch extension.

Yes, it does. Sync your Hue Bridge to Razer Synapse and you can select any hue lights using that bridge to work with Razer Synapse. All the same options you’ve come to expect with your razer peripherals are available to the hue lights you’ve selected, including syncing with videogames. Just be sure if you want to sync to external media, like videogames, you download the associated razer app. So, as an example, to sync to Overwatch, there’s a separate overwatch add-on you download thru Razer which enables it. It’s actually really cool and works surprising well.

Not sure, I think I’ve seen aftermarket providers with longer cables for these lights.

it shouldn’t be different, make sure you have the good version V3 or V4 (different connector) or also make sure your connector is connected properly.

You can but adapters on Amazon that’ll tie or extend strips.

not that I’m aware… It does support Bluetooth.

The Bluetooth doesn’t require the Hub which can control all the lights at once in all combinations and colors. The hub also allows the lights to have many other features. Go to the Hue website for explanations.

No. These are more of accent or ambient lighting.
