Myplus Smart Under Cabinet Lights 7cm
Score: 67/100Rankings
The Philips Hue Bluetooth Lightstrip Plus offers bright, colorful lighting with easy Bluetooth setup and Spotify music sync, making it a strong choice for single-room accent lighting. Its reliance on Bluetooth limits multi-room control and the IP20 rating prevents use in damp areas. Best for renters or beginners who want high brightness and smart features without an additional hub.
The MYPLUS Smart Under Cabinet Lights are Wi-Fi enabled RGB puck lights offering high CRI illumination and full dimming control via Alexa or Google Assistant. They lack detailed brightness specifications and additional smart features such as music sync or timers. Ideal for users seeking colorful, voice-controlled ambience in kitchens.

Professional editors highlight the Hue Lightstrip Plus as an entry-level smart lighting solution that excels in flexibility, brightness and color range. They commend its easy Bluetooth setup, consistent color output across extensions, and the added entertainment value of Spotify music sync, while noting that full smart-home integration and multi-room scenes require a Hue Bridge and that the lack of gradient lighting and indoor-only rating are limitations.
Everyday users love the bright, colorful light and the plug-and-play Bluetooth setup, especially for accent lighting behind TVs or under cabinets. Common praise centers on ease of installation, voice-assistant compatibility, and music sync. Recurring complaints focus on Bluetooth's single-room limit, the need for a separate bridge for advanced features, power-supply constraints for longer runs, and confusion between V3 and V4 versions.
