Unboxing and Setting Up the Hue Play Light Bar

This is a bit of a nerdy one - but I'm unboxing the Hue Play Light Bar Base Unit and setting it up. Our whole house has Hue lights, so I've already got the base unit and software on my phone set up.
Once I've taken all the goodies out of the box I install the light and set it up for you. It's the first time I've recorded a vlog on my streaming setup, so it's a bit wonky - but you get the idea!
If you want a Hue Play Light Bar Base Unit you can get one here -
Black - amzn.to/2QlIaZg
White - amzn.to/2vyjndu
If you've got the Base Unit you can get the Extension Lights here -
Black - amzn.to/2w5WEWx
White - amzn.to/38Y59QG
If you need the 5m extension lead for the power cable it's here - amzn.to/2TWpnWD
If you've got any questions about my Hue setup, or how I integrate it with my stream, drop a comment.

You can use Lumia Stream on your computer to connect to a stream and have the lights do different things when viewers interact.

Hello! Loved the video, so I just bought the double kit for this light but I don't have the Bridge. Will it still work?

Can you connect the bridge no matter if you have the lights on other room? Or does it all have to be on the same room to work well?

Got this but I’m disappointed how the bridge is needed to control with my phone. I bought a strip of lights that’s an Amazon brand and I can easily control it via blue tooth. Philip is a big brand name and I don’t know how they didn’t have blue tooth on this.

You need the bridge. A lot of the Hue products have been re-released to work via Bluetooth (they have a Bluetooth symbol on the front), I'm not sure if these ones have been re-released.
