About the Philips Hue Play Light Bar Double Pack (White)

This pack is the usual way to set up Hue Play on a desk: one bar on each side of the monitor, or both behind it, lighting the wall in any color or in white from 2000 K to 6500 K. Each bar gives 500 lumens at 4000 K, the pair draws 13.2 W, and the included power supply can feed a third bar later. Mounts are in the box to fix the bars to the back of a screen, or you can stand them upright or lay them flat.

The white housing suits white and light setups, where the black single bar would stand out. Like every Play bar, it needs a Philips Hue Bridge, and syncing the light with what is on screen needs a Hue sync box or the Sync TV app. It works with Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home through the Hue ecosystem.
