Philips Hue Large
Score: 82/100
Lian Li Strimer Wireless 315mm
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Philips Hue Large Smart Light Tube delivers up to 1,800 lumens and full 16 M-color sync for 60"+ TVs, but it needs extra Hue hardware and offers only IP20 protection. Best for Hue ecosystem owners seeking high-brightness ambient lighting for large screens.
The Lian Li Strimer Wireless 24-Pin cable with controller provides wireless ARGB lighting and 132 LEDs for a striking visual effect. Its short length and relatively wide profile limit applicability in larger or compact cases. Ideal for showcase builds that value a clean, USB-free setup.

Professional reviewers commend the Hue Play Gradient Light Tube Large for its seamless integration with the Hue ecosystem, impressive color range, and ability to transform a standard TV setup into an immersive visual experience. The sleek design and voice-assistant compatibility are highlighted as strong points, while the requirement for additional Hue hardware and the modest energy-class rating are noted as drawbacks.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the product's ability to create a captivating, dynamic lighting environment that syncs with media, noting its stylish appearance and ease of use. The most common criticism centers on the extra cost of required accessories (Bridge and Sync Box) and the fact that the LEDs cannot be replaced individually.
“exactly what it is supposed to, a great compliment to the broader Hue Play ecosystem and arguably the best money spent on gadgets”
Editors describe the Strimer Wireless as a "revolutionary" upgrade that streamlines installation with its 2.4 GHz wireless control and eliminates extra power cables, while its abundant ARGB lighting adds a striking visual impact.
