The Philips Hue Light Strip Plus puts out 1600 lumens, which does a fine job of illuminating dark spaces, but it's not as bright as others in our guide. In the Hue app, you can set the lights to one of 16 million colors or opt for one of the many awesome preset light settings. The app is incredibly easy to navigate and use.

You can sync them with your home entertainment system, which is a cool feature, but the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box is required to make it work. The strip and plug are weather-resistant and so safe to set up outdoors, although this does mean that you’re unable to cut or extend the strip as you can with traditional LED strip lights.

The Wyze Light Strip doesn't have as many bells and whistles as other light strips in our guide, but, as we’ve come to expect from Wyze, it does have some cool features at a relatively low price point. The Cync LED Light Strip is an improvement over the previous version, which required a smart bridge for features like smart assistant integration or remote access away from home. The wall light connects over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It also responds well to voice control with Alexa and Google Assistant to adjust the colors, brightness levels, scene modes, and power. This strip light isn’t as customizable as some others. It doesn't offer any fun lighting effects or presets—you're limited to single colors only.The amount of light you’re getting from a bulb is measured in lumens—the more lumens, the more brightness.

For more neutral settings you can also precisely dial in the colour temperature of the white light to match it to the ambient lighting in the room.
