Lowest brightness of all Hue lights - Bend great!

I have over 300 Hue lights, and these are the worst/lowest brightness. I purchased 3 of these, to use in my pantries. I've used all of the other Hue light strips, and these are the least bright ones available. They do not get very bright at all, even on cool bright setting at 100% brightness setting. I missed the return window so I'll just have to replace them with some other lights. These would be great in a dark room at night only. Gave 2 stars because they do bend/flex incredibly well, way better than other strips, and they bend similarly to the Neon Outdoor lights. Only recommend for a very dim/dark need. Nice build quality/bendability.
It's a fun shapable light strip

It's not as bright as other bigger light strips that makes sense. But its a nice ambiance light that I use to sync with my PC. It's a cheaper smaller version of other light strips and it does the job for what it is.
Beautiful but low brightness

I bought this to replace my regular strip light. Unfortunately, the difference in brightness is significant, unlike my older Hue strip light, this one is not bright enough to illuminate even a small room.
