Questions & answers
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 colors (black and white).
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.
Does the Play gradient light tube do the same thing as the 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 colors 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 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.
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.
Can I use the Play gradient light tube with other gradient or White and color 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.
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 setups in the TV area, you can also use it to get a gradient of colorful light when you're not syncing your lights.
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.
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.
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.
What does "gradient" mean?
We use the word "gradient" to describe products that offer multiple colors of light at the same time, such as the Signe gradient floor and table lamps or the Play gradient lightstrip.
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.
Is it possible to combine the 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.
How do dynamic scenes work on gradient lights?
Dynamic scenes make your lights slowly cycle through that scene's colors. Gradient lights show several colors of the light scene and slowly cycle through them.
