$79.99 Save $40.00

I've been deep into Philips Hue smart lighting for a while now, and if you've ever used Hue Play Light Bars, you already know how much they change your space. They're fantastic for gaming, movie nights, and setting the right vibe. Right now, you can expand your setup for half the usual price, which makes this an easy buy if you already own a Hue Play base kit.

What makes this Woot deal so good? First, they sync with movies, music, and games to create an immersive lighting experience. I've got mine mounted behind my TV, and how they react to on-screen action makes everything feel more cinematic. If you game with Razer Chroma or Corsair iCUE, these light bars sync up perfectly, matching the colors and intensity of your screen.

They're also ridiculously versatile. You can mount them on the wall, attach them to your desk, or just lay them flat to create ambient lighting. I love using them for TV backlighting, but they work just as well for mood lighting in a gaming setup or home office. If you've got Alexa or Google Assistant, you can control them with your voice, and the Hue app lets you tweak everything from brightness to color effects.

Before you grab this deal, remember that this is just the extension — it doesn't include the power supply. If you're just starting, you'll need the Hue Play base kit first. But if you already have one, this is the perfect time to expand your setup for way less than usual.
