Lovely strip, big flaw

The Hue Flux looks lovely, a definite step up from the previous iterations. More LEDs and gradients by default. I’d love to see a bit more fine-grained control in the app though. The available patterns (sparkle, opal) seem very limited and the segments are not per-LED but per-section. I have one BIG gripe about this strip. It’s clearly a common use case for it to be on a ceiling. But the power cable that it ships with is about 1m long, so unless we lived in a Hobbit house, or the mains sockets were on the ceiling too, that’s not any use. The previous strips shipped with a 3m cable which worked perfectly so this is a regression- but hey Phillips get to charge you an extra £12.99 for an extender. Too bad you have to sit in the dark for another 3 days waiting for it to ship 😡
