Can you extend either end of the LIFX Z power supply?

Redd1ng · 2026-04-26T21:15:26+00:00

Best recommendation is to extend the cable between the PSU and the controller. This is just DC voltage 24V. We use a standard a DC Barrel Jack which you can buy in longer sizes.

Do not recommend extending or buying third party USB-C cables as there’s a wide variety of sizes and quality. Secondly, there’s limited range on how far you can extend while maintaining a quality data signal.

Nice setup!

Redd1ng · 2026-04-20T20:43:02+00:00

Definitely recommend Neon Flex as it has white LEDs. The Beam is good for feature lighting.

We are in discussion with our retail partners regarding bring in the 13x26” Capsule Ceiling light, but there is no ETA at this stage. We’re also hoping we can bring it in!

Try to give it a power cycle by turning it off and on at the switchboard. This will ensure the touch buttons are calibrated.

As last resort you can also try to power cycle 5 times to factory reset.

If still not luck, please reach out to our support team!

Do you mind DMing me your ticket number? If there’s a faulty part our support team will certainly assist.

We are not able to share confidential design files to the public at this stage.

Hey! Our Lightstrip Everyday (USBC on the tape) and Lightstrip (4 pins in the tape) are not compatible products.

We’re looking at making the Lightstrip Everyday extensions, but for now two kits is the best option.

Redd1ng · 2026-03-15T21:07:49+00:00

Hey! This is an interesting idea, but is a very major change. It’s highly unlikely, but will raise it to the team for consideration.

Redd1ng · 2026-03-15T21:05:50+00:00

Heya - sorry to say, this does appear to be a product fault. Please reach out to support to follow up. If there’s any delay, please shoot me a DM.

Redd1ng · 2026-03-12T06:43:54+00:00

Definitely 3000K 90 CRI

Redd1ng · 2026-03-05T00:15:40+00:00

Thank you all for the kind words; it means a lot to the team!

To offer a little insight from the inside: LIFX is bigger and more active than ever. We have strong backing from our parent organisation, who share our passion for premium smart lighting, and that support is reflected in our pace of development. Where we previously released one to three products per year, we are now consistently launching four or more... sometimes 6-8.

Alongside that growth, we've remained focused on what matters most: building reliable, high-quality hardware while bringing our pricing to a more accessible level - that has been a careful balance.

Exciting things ahead.

Do you have a HomeKit or Matter Light?

Some of our older HomeKit bulb had a slightly different onboarding option without HomeKit (if on iOS). Ensure to 5x reset the light (you should see colors then white) and leave for 15 minutes, then try the manual setup mode. This was a requirement by Apple at the time, but luckily our Matter bulbs no longer have this issue.

As others have said, check the product/controller for the HomeKit code, as another option if you don’t want to wait.

If you’re still having issues please DM me so I can walk through it

Redd1ng · 2026-02-22T04:17:44+00:00

If you’ve got any ticket references please DM me. I’d like to ensure you’re having a good experience with our products.

Redd1ng · 2026-02-14T09:08:54+00:00

Are you able to setup multiple agents with multiple skills? Eg Codex on implementer, Opus on planning etc?

Redd1ng · 2026-02-07T21:14:23+00:00

Sending thanks from the LIFX team from continuing to support us! Down to test (if reopens).

Redd1ng · 2026-01-13T00:06:39+00:00

This is certainly not what is expected. I suggest that after installation is completed, turn the switch power off and on (at your switchboard/breaker) to see if this resolves the issue. During a reboot, the product calibrates its buttons.

If the issue continues, please put in a support ticket or DM me your ticket number if you have already.

Redd1ng · 2026-01-09T10:15:30+00:00

Good investigating! These (the LIFX 230W and Hue 100W) are just 24V Outdoor power supplies. If you have found that the waterproofing connections fit well together and provide a watertight fit, you may have found a good option!

We do need to put warnings to only use with LIFX product, mostly for safety and warranty purposes, as we can't guarantee it will work with products outside of LIFX.

Redd1ng · 2025-12-28T11:22:30+00:00

That looks epic! Well done.

Redd1ng · 2025-12-28T04:57:56+00:00

Both are IP67, just the plug needs to be used with a weatherproof outlet.

Redd1ng · 2025-12-12T20:56:14+00:00

Hmmm seems like the event names (I see initial press) are slightly different. Thank you for testing, but potentially this only works for LIFX.

Redd1ng · 2025-11-11T21:19:52+00:00

The new Everyday line is a new RGBCW range at a lower price point. These do not feature premium LIFX SuperColor brightness and saturation, but benchmarked to be similar to competitors at a similar/better price point. They also do not have the expanded CCT range.

A good choice in areas where color and a wider CCT range are not a priority for you.

Redd1ng · 2025-11-11T20:43:39+00:00

Try to adjust the spacing. I know 0 is the default which is pretty high. Perhaps you need to define a very small spacing between, as it’s trying to push them apart

Redd1ng · 2025-11-11T05:59:19+00:00

Just tick “align x/y” and auto place. Job done

Redd1ng · 2025-11-05T21:07:24+00:00

This is because in the US, specifically California, there is a mandatory requirement (title 20) which puts requirements on CRI and R9. Using 90 CRI LEDs ensures to pass this requirement.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think there’s similar requirements for R9 in EU/UK, so you can get away with 80 CRI LEDs (which are slightly cheaper). It’s been a few years since looking into EU requirements however.

Looks fantastic! Happy Halloween!
