FAQs
Will the Play gradient light tube roll off my cabinet or shelf?
No. The Play gradient light tube features two feet with non-skid pads on either side for stability and grip.
Can I use the Play gradient light tube for setting the mood as well as surround lighting?
Yes. Though the Play gradient light tube was designed for surround lighting set-ups in the TV area, you can also use it to get a gradient of colourful light when you're not syncing your lights.
How many lights does the Philips Hue Play gradient light tube appear as in the Philips Hue app?
The Philips Hue Play gradient light tube appears as one light in the Philips Hue app.
Can I use the Play gradient light tube with other gradient or Hue White and Colour Ambiance lights?
Yes. Just like any other Philips Hue light, the Play gradient light tube connects with your existing Philips Hue setup to extend your collection of smart lights. You can also add the light tube to your Entertainment area to include it in your surround lighting setup.
Is it possible to combine the Hue Play gradient lightstrip with the Play gradient light tube?
Yes. Both products are part of the Play family, which are lights designed to be used with surround lighting. While the Play gradient lightstrip attaches behind your TV, the Play gradient light tube mounts above or below your TV. You can control the lights at the same time using the Philips Hue app, an accessory or your voice.
Can I mount the Play gradient light tube on the wall?
Yes. The light can be mounted to the wall (screws not included) or placed onto a shelf or TV cabinet.
Does the Play gradient light tube support Bluetooth?
Though you can get limited control of the Play gradient light tube with the Philips Hue Bluetooth app, this light was designed to be paired with a Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box, which requires a Hue Bridge.
What size Play gradient light tube should I get?
For the best light experience, use the large Play gradient light tube with 55-inch and larger TVs. Use the compact Play gradient light tube with TVs smaller than 55 inches.
Can I mount the Play gradient light tube behind TV?
No. You can mount the Play gradient light tube above or below the TV or place it on a shelf or stand, but it does not come with mounts for the TV itself. A different light, the Play gradient lightstrip, was designed to attach to the back of your TV.
How do dynamic scenes work on gradient lights?
Dynamic scenes make your lights slowly cycle through that scene's colours. Gradient lights show several colours of the light scene and slowly cycle through them.
What is the Play gradient light tube?
The Play gradient light tube has a long, thin design that fits subtly into a TV area. You can mount it above or below the TV, or place it on a flat surface. It offers a gradient of colorful light that, when paired with a Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box, reacts to the content on your screen. The Play gradient light tune comes in two sizes (compact and large) and two colours (black and white).
What does "gradient" mean?
We use the word "gradient" to describe products that offer multiple colours of light at the same time, such as the Signe gradient floor and table lamps or the Hue Play gradient lightstrip.
Does the Play gradient light tube do the same thing as the Hue Play gradient lightstrip?
Both products are part of the Play family, which are lights designed to be used with surround lighting. They also offer a gradient of light, meaning they can shine multiple colours of light at the same time. However, the Play gradient lightstrip attaches behind the TV, while the Play gradient light tube mounts above or sits below it.
Can I change the direction of the power cable on the Play gradient light tube?
Yes. Follow the instructions that came with your light tube to change the direction of its power cable.
