Unboxing and Preparing Your Lightstrip
Begin by unboxing your Philips Hue Gradient Lightstrip and confirming all components are present. The package typically includes the lightstrip, power adapter, and mounting accessories. Make sure your power outlet is accessible and suitable for the adapter.
Installing the Lightstrip
