How will you use the Festavia string lights? 👇and stay tuned for more Philips Hue videos!

These lights are awesome and not dim at all. Super vibrant colors. Another quality Phillips hue product.

I love my Phillips Hue light's for year's now

Why didn't Philips just buy out Twinkly ? My whole house is fitted out with Hue and I also have 3 sets of twinkly lights. I wont be swapping out my twinkly for these anytime soon.

Nice video Justin. I always love your reviews. Nice to see Phillips hue making Christmas tree lights. But I do prefer my twinkly lights better. How does the cost of hue compared to twinkly.

I can already tell I can’t afford it 🥹

That is cool. Lights have always been fun.

Where can I find the yellow happy face neon light?

You did not explain how if u had extra lights on top the gradient doesn’t work. I have them around my windows and for some reason it doesn’t let me use any of the gradients

@Justin can you help me or anyone is there a way I can use my sync box to work with my internal app on my tv.

150 bucks? F no.

I get so confused by just america talking in feet. You said 65 feet (20 metres), why would not not used the 8 metre Festavia string for a Christmas tree?. Especially, considering the huge cost difference between the 8 and 20 metre lengths.

Hey , but can they also sync with an Ambilight Philips TV without the HDMI thingy?

Love CNET ❤️

I have the Festavia lights and overall I am disappointed with them. The lighting effects are very limited and it is so odd that an indoor product is supplied with an outdoor 40W power supply. My hunch is that they were intended to be rated for outdoor use but for some reason Philips Hue changed their minds about that. Perhaps they failed the waterproof tests? I hope that the Festavia gets more effects soon with a software update but in the meantime Twinkly LEDs are far more capable and have very impressive animations, so I will be sticking with them for outdoor lighting.

6 minutes in: now this may sound a little extra. 🤪

Easy to set up & works with Google assistant

Dude, 100 lights per foot of tree, so no, you can't put them in a taller tree.

Gostei do abajur atrás do sofá!

It’s so expensive not worth it

Philips hue are great in general but these Festavia ,in all fairness don;t hold a candle against Twinkly line

It’s crazy to spend €200 euro on string lights. I refuse to do that.

It’s a pitty that when you showed all the Hue scenes and effects, the tree was mostly out of focus.

Overpriced junk, twinkly is better.

Seems like a failed attempt to counter twinkly

Thx. A big pass on these. Crazy expensive ($160 for 65 feet) and for folks who have a a bigger and/or taller tree than yours or who like lots of lights so ornaments can be seen it’s just as crazy & limited that you can’t link one or more together. For me, I could care less that you can sync them to music

No where near as good as Twinkly. Why have they even bothered lol

👎🏻, not fan of this and I own a bunch of light bulbs and strips from Phillips hue. Looks really dim and expensive for that small amount. I use Twinkly lights for my tree, expensive but well worth it.

Another product developed by hue for europe by europeans that live in comparatively tiny homes/apartments etc. Buyers in US include well-to-do single or childless families living in small apartments that have skinny 6ft trees which is to say a very limited market. They 100% need way more lights per string for wider and taller trees for US homes in suburbs of which there are many potential buyers. The high cost is a problem, but they are unique in how they function so I'll take it if only it would cover the trees most people get like normal lights. Also they sold out in two seconds like everything hue so it's moot point on whether you're going to buy them or not this year anyway. Next year I might buy them if they make a better version with more lights. Until they do I'll pass even though I have over 100 hue lights in my house and three bridges. Frustrating that hue is allergic to selling its expensive products to a large percentage of consumers in the US. Just a faster bridge, that isn't still underpowered as of a decade ago garbage, would be nice Trying to explain why hue is better to friends that buy cheap wifi bulbs is difficult when you show how many bridges you have to hardwire in all over your house.

Why review a product that isn't available yet?

Look in to wled wayyyyyy cheaper then this.

I'm glad I didn't buy these, they seem to be very dim.

Twinkly lights are so much better than these. You can literally throw them up any way and the app will map them for the correct animations regardless. These are a fail and too expensive.

They’re not very bright

Philips Hue - overpriced and lacking features Where do I sign up (that's sarcasm btw).

I have a 180 cm tree. If I buy the package with 250 leds, will it be okay?
