Flexible Corner Connector

No, Litcessory products do not affect the brightness of the lights. As long as your total lightstrip run length (lightstrip length plus any Litcessory product length) stays within 10 meters/33 feet, your lights will be just as bright!

Litcessory products are desiged specifically for Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus. Currently, Litcessory products have not been tested with other brands. However, , our products are designed for 6-pin lightstrips that are 12mm in width.

We recommend keeping your total lightstrip run under 10 meters/33 feet. This includes the total length of your lightstrips and any Litcessory products and ethernet cables.Some customers have reported success going over this limit, however we have not tested this.

This happens most often when a 6-pin connector or lightstrip is plugged in upside down, causing something called reverse polarity. To fix this, simply flip over the connector or lightstrip and plug it in the other way..

No, Litcessory extension cables do not have any LED lights.

If your lights are not the right colors after connecting a cut-end connector, this means that the cut-end connector is not making a solid connection with the solder points on the lightstrips. Try the following:

• 1. Unplug the power source
• 2. Ensure the backside of the solder points (the side opposite of the LED lights) are making contact with the cut-end connector’s metal prongs, and that the cut-end of the lightstrip is fully inserted.
• 3. Close the lid of the cut-end connector and clamp down with a pair of pliers. Use plenty of pressure. You should hear a slight “snap”.
• 4. To ensure your cut-end connector stays tight, you can wrap the cut-end connector tightly with electrical tape.

If you are still having issues after trying the above steps, please contact our awesome support team. We are always happy to help!

To extend the distance between the controller and the lightstrip, you will first need to connect one of our Controller to 6-Pin Adapters . Then you can plug in an extension cable.

The Philips Hue Plus has two controller versions: a detachable version and a hardwired version. Please see the image below to identify which controller version you have.

All of our direct-to-controller adapters come with two adapters; one for your controller and the other for your original lightstrip. To connect to the original starter lightstrip, just use the second direct-to-controller adapter.

No, you cannot insert a 6-pin connector into the cut-end connector. If you need to connect a lightstrip with a 6-pin to Cut-End Connector, you will need to use one of our 6-pin to cut-end products: a 6-Pin to Cut-End Extension Connector, a 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector,  or a 6-Pin to Cut-End(Solder On). This will allow you to convert the cut end of the lightstrip into a 6-pin connector.

• 2. Plug the Extension Cable into the 6-pin side of the Cut-End to 6-pin cable.
• 3. Connect a second Cut-End to 6-Pin cable to the other cut lightstrip
• 4. The Extension Cable now has two 6-pin connectors to plug into between the two cut lightstrips. All Litcessory products with male pin headers are removable, so you can make them male or female as needed for your project.
