By Ethan Halfhide · Updated
The Philips Hue Flux strip light 10ft costs $79.99 on the Philips Hue US store as of October 2026, and a 16ft version is listed at $109.99. It is an indoor strip meant to wash walls and furniture with soft, indirect light: Philips Hue suggests placing it behind TV cabinets, around bed corners and along bookcases. Chromasync precision color blending produces a consistent gradient of colors, and dedicated white and warm LEDs handle white light. The 10ft strip measures 118-1/8 inches, is rated at 1,200 lumens at 6500K with a CRI of 80, draws 12 W with 0.5 W standby, and has a 25,000 hour nominal lifetime. It can be cut to size, extended and reused, with connectors and extension pieces sold separately. It is rated IP20 for indoor use and operates from -20 to 40°C. It talks Bluetooth and Zigbee and works without Wi-Fi. Philips Hue says Bluetooth Hue lights can be controlled without a Bridge for small setups of up to 10 lights, while a Hue Bridge adds full control, advanced automations and home-wide connectivity. Hue lists Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, Matter, Samsung SmartThings, Sonos, IFTTT and Klikaanklikuit as compatible systems. Philips Hue gives a two-year warranty and a defined support period of at least 60 months from purchase from an authorized reseller.
