Everything you need to know
The 5 m Solo is the middle length in Hue's current indoor colour range, sized for a longer single run: behind a bed, along a full kitchen bench or around the top of a room. It lights the whole strip in one colour at a time, from warm white through to full colour, and the base kit includes the controller and power supply so it runs on its own.
Product features
A single colour across the run
The Solo lights the whole strip in one colour at a time, from warm white through to full colour. It won't hold several colours at once along its length. If you want a gradient of colours in one run, the Hue OmniGlow does that instead.
Cut to size for a longer run
At 5 m this length reaches around a bedhead, along a full kitchen bench or around most of a room. It's cuttable at the marked points to shorten it to your space. It isn't extendable, so go to the 10 m Solo for more, or the 3 m if this is longer than you need.
Ready to run, indoors
The base kit includes the controller and the power supply it needs, so nothing else is required to get it going. It puts out 1,700 lumens at 4000K and is rated IP20 for dry indoor use. Control it over Bluetooth from the Hue app now, or add a Hue Bridge for Matter, automations and voice with Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa.
The Philips Hue system
Hue is a system, not just a smart bulb. Every Hue product, from bulbs and lamps to light strips and fixtures, joins the same Zigbee mesh and shows up in one app. A single bulb bought today slots straight into a whole-home setup later.
The lights
Bulbs, lamps, strips & fixtures
All speak Zigbee and mesh with each other, so every light you add extends the network's reach.
The hub
One Bridge runs the whole home
Runs up to 50 lights off your router, and connects Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings.
The control
App, voice & switches
One app for rooms, scenes and schedules, plus dimmers, buttons and sensors that work without a phone.
Getting started
1
Start with one light Start here
Add your first Hue light, open the Hue app, and control up to 10 lights in one room over Bluetooth. No hub required.
2
Add the Hue Bridge When you're ready
Run up to 50 lights, control them from anywhere, set schedules and automations, and connect your voice assistant.
Start small, scale up. Everything you buy today keeps working when you add the Bridge, and everything Hue has made since 2012 still joins the same system.
