I bought two sets of these to line the edges in two rooms of my house. Connecting to them via Hue was super straightforward and they work great. However, the actual LED strips started failing in sections within a couple of weeks. Almost LED strips are put together in sections of 3 LEDs, and as you can see by the picture, random patches of sections have completely failed; most have no working green channel any more; some have no green OR blue. This leads to a cheap, patchy effect that puts my teeth on edge. On the plus side, the strips use standard 4-pin connectors, so I could potentially replace them. The downside, however, is that I've got to actually buy 4 more (higher-quality) 10m LED strips, uncover all the profiles I've installed, unstick 40m of lights, and replace them all. So, my advice is: buy these if you want a small, low-profile Zigbee connector, but don't hold out any hope for the LED strips. They're borderline worthless.

Lighting coverage worked well across a larger space, giving a consistent glow that suited evenings best. Setup took a bit of patience, especially when linking everything correctly, though it settled once configured. Colour changes responded well through voice control, which made adjustments feel convenient rather than fiddly. Brightness levels handled most situations without issue, though the lack of a true white tone felt noticeable at times. Connection stayed stable after initial setup, with no random dropouts so far. It added a good level of ambience, even if the setup stage required more attention than expected.

Lighting around the room feels far more flexible, especially when adjusting colours depending on mood or time of day. Control through the app works well once everything is set up, though getting started took longer than expected due to the extra requirement involved. Voice commands respond accurately, which makes daily use feel convenient. The length covers a large area, which helps when running it along walls or behind furniture for a softer effect. Brightness levels are easy to tweak, though the lack of a proper white tone stands out during regular use. Connection has been stable after setup, with no random dropouts. A solid option once configured, though the initial process could be smoother.

Only had installed for 2 weeks and LED is beginning to fail in sections.
