You’re crazy if you buy Philips Hue’s $90 LED lightstrip over this $26 model

The Philips Hue LightStrip Plus is awesome, but it’s very pricey with its $90 retail price. Even now while it’s on sale, it’s still $72 and that’s a tall order for a single strip of LED lights. If you want the same exact functionality in an LED light strip that’s just as long, definitely check out the iLintek Color Changing LED Strip Lighting Kit. It’s more than 6.5 feet long and supports 16 million colors just like the Philips Hue version, and you can also control it with an app or with Alexa. At just $26 instead of $72-$90, you really can’t go wrong.
