    does this come with an AU plug?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 12:56

      Should do, I bought one locally and it came with AU, UK and EU plug adapters.

      • eckers19 on 13/10/2020 - 12:57

        ye but if I buy it from amazon uk or where this is from does it come with a uk plug or an au plug?

        • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 12:58

          It says international edition, so I'd say the SKU is the same given the AU one has a UK plug as well.

      • lukethefish on 13/10/2020 - 13:09

      I bought one from Officeworks to test one out just 3 weeks ago $128 :\ Had been looking for a while and found no deals.

  • eckers19 on 13/10/2020 - 12:58

    should I get the extension also?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:00

      Depends on how long you need. Comes with 2m, you can extend them up to 10m total. Depending on how much you need might be easier and ironically cheaper to buy a second one instead.

      • eckers19 on 13/10/2020 - 13:01

        can you connect two starter kits together to get 4m total?

        • lukethefish on 13/10/2020 - 13:10

          I am pretty sure you can extend that far but best check on the lifx website. If you can you will end up with a spare controller which is no big deal considering the price of 2 starter kits probably is cheaper than buying extensions.

        • sutherland978 on 13/10/2020 - 15:04
          +1

          I have done exactly this, I can confirm that it does work. Just joined 4m worth of strips together and it works fine. Although it took a couple of goes to set up as one section wouldn't light initially.

          I also used a 1m wire extension between the two 2m sections to bridge a gap where no light was required and it works off one control unit.

          • eckers19 on 13/10/2020 - 15:05

            @sutherland978: ok thanks also was thinking about would I be better off getting the beam as I want to have the lights in the middle of my wall and the strips don't look so good

    • Astronaut Joe on 13/10/2020 - 13:04

      Do you need more than 2m?

  • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:02
    +1

    @eckers19 Yeah, I just double checked mine and the light strips all have the pins on the end, so they're basically 1 male end one female end. So two starter kits would work for 4m.

  • lukethefish on 13/10/2020 - 13:10

    Great price paid around double for mine locally.

    the extension is less then $40 here

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:13

      And? It's $32.36 in this deal…. Or $59.86 for another starter kit which is equivalent to 2 extensions…..

      • eckers19 on 13/10/2020 - 13:14

        ye but easier to return to David Jones if you have a problem then to amazon

        • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:15

          I've had a problem with an LIFX bulb before, skip DJ's and Amazon and just contact them, in my case they just straight up shipped a replacement no questions asked, no return required, and it was 3 ish years old. :o

          • Spennyrich on 13/10/2020 - 13:40

            @[Deactivated]: some crap about not accepting returns at the moment, and to put on an email waiting list. one of my strips went faulty after a few months and now cant put in a warranty claim.

  • Queue2Queue on 13/10/2020 - 13:15

    Can this work like hue sync where it syncs colours according to the output on your monitor ?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:19

      I don't think this edition has that working 'out of the box'. But it's possible with some effort.

      eg:
      https://www.reddit.com/r/lifx/comments/dhu5vp/introducing_ma…

    • luizmarin on 13/10/2020 - 13:21

      it works with razer synapse, so you can control the lights to do that in the app (i think)

      • zorrt on 13/10/2020 - 15:47
        +1

        Maxlifx z works better, forgot what the issue with the razer software was, I think it can control the zones so stuck with single colour only.

  • eckers19 on 13/10/2020 - 13:19

    will this deal go quick?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:20

      I don't think anyone knows how much stock Amazon has reserved for this, it's set to last another 44 ish hours, but who knows.

  • Astronaut Joe on 13/10/2020 - 13:21

    It's a great price for a brand name everything-you-need strip, but I can't help thinking that the missus has just got used to voice control for the Hue lights, bringing this in would add a level of complexity (ie - another app, doesn't easily operate together) that doesn't have great WAF.

    I'm trying to thing of where I could put it that would work in a standalone manner, or faffing for ages in HA trying to get the two systems to work together.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:22

      I need to get HA working to integrate some old LIFX lights, but these are Alexa/Homekit/Google Assistant compatible out of the box so if using voice it doesn't really need another app once they're setup.

      I'm using Hue motion sensors to turn on my LIFX lights via Homekit and off via voice in Google Assistant :o

      • Astronaut Joe on 13/10/2020 - 13:24

        Or I can just buy now and think later…

    • BigLeviathan on 13/10/2020 - 16:36

      Behind the bed frame
      I also combined the light strip with hubitat (and smartthings motion sensor) to help brighten the room for number one urge at night :)

  • eckers19 on 13/10/2020 - 13:51

    should I get these or the beam for in a bedroom
    think the beam looks better

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:57

      I'm going to put mine in something like this:
      https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9a/f2/1d/9af21dde17912497d4ac…

      But can't find exactly what I want, have to keep looking.

      These are best not exposed directly, so either for below cabinet lighting, behind furniture or inside a profile with a diffuser. Otherwise they have normal bulbs. I haven't seen the beam one so don't really know how it looks in person.

  • congo on 13/10/2020 - 13:54

    Got one. Not sure why.
    So anything else needed to get this to work? Like a Hub or something?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 13:55

      LIFX connects each bulb/strip directly to wifi, no hub needed. So I guess a minimum of a phone to setup and a decent wifi access point if you end up with lots of them.

      • congo on 13/10/2020 - 14:24

        Sweet. Are these compatible with the Philips Hue?

        • zorrt on 13/10/2020 - 15:38

          Different system so no.

        • BigLeviathan on 13/10/2020 - 16:36

  • Runkett on 13/10/2020 - 14:53

    ordered 3 starters and and an extra 1m - not 100% where they are going but already have about 40 lifx lights, so these will find a spot too.

  • Turbonetics on 13/10/2020 - 15:34

    Anyone know how many LEDs per metre / how bright these are? Looking to compare this against the chinese ones.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 15:40
      +1

      They're 700 lm per m (1400 lm for the 2m kit). Looks like 48 white AND 48 RGB per M (96 total per M). It looks like @ about 3500k white the RGB ones are mostly off, it uses them to make the light cooler or warmer (or different colours) than that. Still bright AF.

      • Splurge on 13/10/2020 - 16:01

        If I wrapped a few metres of these around say a pendant light, do you think they're bright enough alone to light up a room?

        • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 16:24
          +1

          Depends on the size of the room, exposed they don't look 'ugly' but they're not pretty if you just wrap them around something as you can see the LEDs, at least when not at full brightness. They really should be in a LED profile or lighting a wall etc, which will lower their effectiveness a little.

          Most rooms in my place have 2 of the original 1000 lm bulbs in them, behind a diffuser which is still plenty bright for medium sized rooms, I usually run them a little dimmed. So probably 3m behind some sort of diffuser would still be more than enough. Might get away with 2. I think you'd need more if you were lighting a wall and using the reflected light to light the room, but I guess it depends on the mood you're going for.

    Fyi for anyone getting these, you can use maxlifx z to sync to screen colour. It works ok, not sure how it compares to hue though. Not entirely accurate, I'm using a 2m strip on the back of 34" monitor held down using 3m light clips.

    • bouncybear on 20/10/2020 - 01:06

      TBH what's in those videos for maxlifx don't really compare to what I get with philips hue play (so with philips' strip too, I assume). I mean the light power, color and time sync + philips work straigh out of the box.

  • boku on 13/10/2020 - 16:18

    Anyone know if there are voltage drop issues (i.e. uneven brightness) beyond 5m lengths?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2020 - 16:27

      https://support.lifx.com/hc/en-us/articles/200397854

      LIFX Z is expandable, and has a maximum output of 2800 lumens, with a maximum of 10 strip sections connected. Each strip section has a maximum output of 700 lumens.

      I'm not sure it will be uneven but looks like > 4m and the max total output is reached so will probably be turned down across the length. I think I'd probably cap it at 5m for practical reasons and just buy additional controllers for longer.

      • Splurge on 13/10/2020 - 17:05

    I put them on the ceiling of the living room but regret the choice because they’re not good for eyes when other lights are off and if I wanna remove them, they’re peeling off the paint. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 08/11/2020 - 11:32

      LED strips don't normally look good on eyes so you are better off hiding it so it can't be seen but only where its light is visible. Behind the couch, under the kitchen island bench, behind the bed head, behind the tv or the entertainment unit are few of the places where I use them and love it.
