Questions & Answers

What voltage does the power brick have? Is it dual voltage (110v + 220v) or does it only have ?

According to my power brick, it reads The voltage is 220 voltage

Is this controller compatible with a splitter in order to allow the lighting of two strips at the same time?

It is true that if the total LED power is over 20 watts, it may be better to use a 5 channel LED amplifier and a 24v power supply of appropriate size. A power management feature on Philips's control detects when the draw of the power supply will exceed its capacity and recalculates The output dimmers are sized so that the amount of brightness in the app or at the bridge is within the power supply's capability.

What is the best place to install it on the back of an ultra thin TV (LG What will it be like when it gets ?

It's an LED light strip, so it's not hot. In fact, you can touch it with your hand easily.

What is the compatibility of this light strip with Razer? It mentions a bridge in its razer app. ?

This does indeed happen. If your Hue Bridge is paired with Razer Synapse, you can select any Hue light using that bridge to work with the system. In addition to syncing with videogames, with the hue lights you've selected you'll get all the same features as with your razer peripherals. If you want to sync externally, such as videogames, just make sure you get the Razer app associated with it. If you want to sync with Overwatch, for example, you need to download and install an add-on that enables it via Razer. In fact, it works rather well and is quite cool.

If you intend to extend this light strip, check the compatibility beforehand

3/5

This is not what I expected to happen. As promised, I ordered this light strip as a Bluetooth-controlled device. It works as advertised, but I am not able to extend it because of incompatibilities. Despite my best efforts, as I have shown in my photos, the 40" strip does not match up with the 20". What I ordered from Amazon and the extension from Home Depot are both original kits. Did I get an old model? Philips appears to be the manufacturer of both products but there is no 3M tape on the back of the amazon product. Make sure you order carefully. My new year's resolution will be written up as a follow-up. A new version of the update is available Based on some research, it appears that I'm likely to have been provided with a version 3 product from Amazon, while I found that Home Depot offers the version 4 extension, and Philips does not have an adapter available. This is why I cannot use the product as intended. The light strip itself is flawless, however I cannot use it as the designer.

You should be warned if you have Hue light strips

3/5

The updated version of the light strips moves the connectors a little closer together for some reason, which is problematic enough to require a return. Since no previous light strip extenders can connect to this new light strip, this new light strip cannot be extended. The Philips hue strip was too short, so I bought some extenders to make it look perfect. Since I had only one extender left, I bought another her base and the old extender will be used. The 2020 version of the light strip is slightly different from the previous ones, so they are incompatible with the older ones. There is no mention of this anywhere. It would have been easy to just buy the older base from somewhere else if this had been clearly stated.

Be sure that the versions you are using are compatible! The extension light strips I was looking for were not available on Amazon, even though I ordered several bases for different parts of my home

3/5

Walmart only had 5 in stock and I couldn't get any further than that These are completely different versions and have completely different connectors! After searching extensively online on forums, I only found out there were different versions and it was not, in my opinion, evident at the time I purchased it. The light strips I have for my three bases do not work with any extension light strips, and I cannot connect my five extension light strips to any light strips at my bases.

A trip back in time

3/5

One would think that it would be possible to connect the two strips without cutting, but the thing is, you can't. The directions are terrible, with no written words, just sketches, and there is no website with a video showing how to do it. The additional strip will not light up no matter what I do, so I have to return this part. Anyway, I tried to put two pieces together, I think I did it right, but the additional one won't light up.

Having the product not work with certain versions of the base kit

3/5

Wow, Phillips should specifically state it EXTREMELY OBVIOUSLY when you are buying the product. Despite their claims, they do not state that if you already have light strips, these new ones will not likely work. There is no consistency in the sizes of the plugs at all, and the only way to determine that is by ordering, opening and connecting *They should (and, frankly, could) make even a minor effort to notify consumers, yet they fail to do so. If you don't pay attention to the plug type, you'll either have to return the base or have to purchase a second one.

This light strip is not compatible with the main hue

3/5

You will not be able to extend the Light strip with the pins on this extension, as others have mentioned. Pins from this do not fit into the female end of the main Light Strip, since they are shorter and spaced closer together. connector that comes with it is of no help either since the holes are different in spacing but the overall diameter remains the same. We find it frustrating that Hue strips differ in their comparable capabilities. I must now figure out where the correct set is.

It is just disgusting to see Philips make There's a brand new light strip from Philips that is completely incompatible with traditional light strips

3/5

Is it called the same thing in both places? Yes, the Philips Hue Light Strip Plus is still in place. I urge you to read every word of this. On the boxes of the different types of strips, do they have identical pictures of the connectors? You should definitely check it out on your own. There must be a connector between these two types for them to collaborate? My own was incompatible with the other. PACKAGING OF PRODUCTS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF WHO? There is just no way to explain this!.

It is easy to conclude that RGB strips are the best on the market

5/5

Since the Light Strip Plus can basically be located anywhere in our house, my wife and I have Philips Hue lights throughout. The Light Strip Plus is probably one of our favorites because it can be placed nearly anywhere in our house. The brightness of the Hue lights is more than adequate, and the app is flawless in our opinion. I love that this app really allows you to do whatever you want. It is very easy to use, and it is quite reliable - never had an error. Taking home to a new level is a great way to enhance your lifestyle! I absolutely recommend!.
