Vent. When I moved three years ago I had a terrible time getting my bulbs set up. It took all day. Somehow it eventually worked on one and it’s been fine (but I never reinstalled all the lights —it was just too draining, especially considering I don’t know if I could ever make it happen again). Well, now my one bulb that worked is MIA. I did the update. I shouldn’t have. Now my light is just on all day and night and doesn’t even show up in the app. Ugh.

Have a total of 75 Lifx bulbs, today several are unresponsive to cloud connection. Have tried disconnecting from cloud to reestablish connection (no luck). Can control with Lifx app, but even from Lifx app device is coming and going offline. Have 5 green balls on the wifi strength. I am using a Eero 6 pro mesh network. Was not having any issues prior to today. Any advice?

Putchased the 16ft outdoor neon flex units. Like the other strips, they have a connector on the end that looks like it is for an extension. Now I am looking for 16ft extensions. Where can I buy them?

I have 8 A19 bulbs and 1 Lifx Z Strip light. They have recently had a lot of disconnection issues and only work in the Lifx app. I've deleted and removed them all from the cloud and set them up again but still same issue. I used to be able to say "Ok Google active the living room lights" now it says "those lights are not set up". I've relinked my Lifx with Google Home. Still many issues. These bulbs are about 4 years old.

Am I out of luck to get them to work correctly again? Do the newest lights not have any issues?

I can't find it via the google so figured maybe someone here knows. I have a need for about 30ft of LED light strip but do NOT like that the connector between each extension is where an LED bulb should be, leading to visible gaps in the light at each joint. My thought is to use 3 120" kits and only have 2 spots with this gap, rather than a 120" and 6x40" extensions. I know its not as cost effective and I will have 2 extra controllers (spares yay?) but i can't seem to find if 120" can be used as an extension, or if for some reason the microcontroller won't like it. In short, can any LIFX strip function as an extension, or must i get the 40" extension kit? Follow-up: LIFX please sell extensions that are longer than 40" lol.

I know there are so many threads out there on this same topic, but if anyone can help that would be amazing.

I am looking at replacing my bricked Lifx Tile PSU with a custom one. I understand that I would need a 24v 1.25a power supply and a also a 3.3v square wave generator. I'm no stranger to electronics or soldering.

There are no hard feelings for lifx here, they diligently offered me a replacement product at or around the same value as the tiles OR my money back and I could keep the lifx tiles. Pretty sweet deal, they were awesome with my RMA. So now I am getting back to seeing what I can do with these as I loved the product until the PSU cooked itself.

The power supply is simple enough, I was looking at getting something like this (I'm based in aus) https://www.jaycar.com.au/24v-dc-1-25a-power-supply-7dc-plugs/

I'm a little bit perplexed by the square wave generator mentioned here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lifx/comments/oepf9e/trying_to_build_a_custom_power_supply_for_tile/

What is the correct frequency & duty cycle that should be used for this to work? Or does it simply not matter and so long as the tile receives a 3.3v square wave signal it will all be hunky dory?

If someone has a spare/working tile adapter they'd no longer need and are able to send (Even from overseas) I'd happy pay $40AUD + Postage to save myself the hassle.

I have a bulb that was working fine, but I switched internet providers, and now I'm struggling to connect the bulb again. The lifx app can't detect any devices so I can't connect, and I have the same issue if I just try the qr code. I've tried moving the bulb closer to the router, and I've tried reseting the bulb, nothings working. Any tips?

We're just starting rolling out firmware update 4.10 to all Matter-compatible lights. This roll out is going to happen gradually over the next couple weeks to allow us to gather any initial feedback, so you may not see the update immediately in the app.

4.10 Release Notes

• Improvements to connection stability
• Improved the color mixing for LIFX Permanent Outdoor for long installations
• Fixed an issue with LIFX Path zone control
• Improved the reliability of Light & Toggle restore features
• Improved the visual consistency of Flame effect across a number of products
• Settings for the Sunrise, Sunset and Clouds effects are more usable
• Sunrise, Sunset and Clouds effects available on Candle and Tube lights
• General bug fixes across a number of firmware effects

I thought only one of my ceiling light (out of 3) made a ringing noise on high power and certain color. However, ALL 3 of them make a ringing sound. I just realized that since I always have slight music in my office and the heater fan always on in my bedroom. It’s actually driving me crazy now since I able to detect the noise.

Is this fixable by a firmware in the future or I have to return all of them?

Litreally for $20 each which is 50% discount precisely

Couldn't ask for more better

I bought these for a 70 inch tv but I need more. Does anyone know if there are just extensions that I can buy that are 1400lm? I only found 700lm extensions.

I have been running 12 LIFX bulbs and 4 strips for what seems like forever. I had my first failure yesterday for what has probably been 2-3yrs. So I jumped on Amazon, and was shocked to see hardly any products.
This then led me to start researching and I found out LIFX had been bought out :(
It looks like they aren't doing anything in the UK any more.
So it looks like either Wizz, Govee or Hue, Even the Hue selection is limited in B22
Sad day as I really liked my LIFX setup

Off to see if there are any innovators in the UK Market before I bite the bullet and by Hue

In the market to upgrade my current downlights and curious if I should just pull the trigger on 10+ smart downlights or wait if there it is a newer model coming soon. I saw there was a post about people demoing the canless versions. canless is not critical for me as the cans already exist but if they release a matter support product maybe I should wait? Or if they update the current ones to support matter I just buy them now on Black Friday prices.

The new eq FX's would initially stop working when the screen went off. Then there was an update that fixed this issue, now the issue is back. Could you please fix this again.

I posted earlier this year asking about a proper Christmas theme for the string lights and it looks like all we have is Christmas which is only red and green. The colors are random and don't even alternate. I keep getting combinations like GGGGGRGGRRR.... And the "Festive" theme looks like more like a duck pastel Easter theme. I just want the traditional red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple (repeat) or to be able to choose a different color for every light :/

My Lifx devices are available in the Alexa app via the Lifx skill, obviously, but the app has invited me to set up my Matter-enabled Tube's separately. I'm curious to know what the advantages, if any, of doing so would be.

Are the Tubes using Matter to communicate with the Alexa App now (via the LIFX skill?)

Is there a way to share matter lifx devices with other matter apps using the lifx app? If not can you please bake that in your next update.

Can I add a matter lifx product to the lifx app without using the matter QR code i.e. using the old onboarding method and then use the lifx app to share it with other matter apps?

The lifx integration with smartthings is via cloud, can it be updated so that at least for matter devices it allows local control rather than requiring the user to re add that product to smartthings using matter.

When should we expect matter update for beam and strips?

Finally on something that doesn't Matter...why cant I see the clouds and sunset FX in my app? I don't have the ceiling light but I do have the candle and your site says it is a firmware FX for the candle too...so why is it not showing in my app?

Switches haven't gotten a firmware update in a while. Stuck on 3.90 with broken HomeKit support (yes, I'm aware of support provided beta firmware that fixes it). When are we getting Matter firmware for the switches?

This hasn't been updated since June:

Ever since the last iOS update, the LIFX widget requires me to unlock my phone to work. I’ve tried all the usual stuff with no luck. I hope this is a bug that will be fixed and not a new feature.

Anyone have any luck finding an extension cord for beam segments? I’m planning on mounting two at a time as bookshelf lights, but I’d like to have maybe a 2 foot extension cord to go between shelves. I can resort to cracking them open and soldering them, but I’d rather not.

I have 5 75W bulbs, all over the house, 3 of them are within 6 feet of each other. One of them is 50/50 on whether or not it’s receiving a WiFi signal…

I’ve tried resetting it, I’ve taken it out and reset it in the fixture, the 50% time that it works it has 4/5 on the WiFi signal…

Just want to make sure I’m not missing something before deciding this is a bad bulb…

Cheers

This seems like a bug. I have a group of four Tubes. If I use the Zones features, it will paint one bulb according to the zones I specify. The other three bulbs just turn the solid color that I select (in other words, all zones.)

Good morning all,

I just got my collection of outdoor spots and so far so good.

However, I cannot figure out how to set the spots to only 1 zone, rather than 3 when running in FX, specifically random.

The spots have brilliant colour when manually set, but when the FX starts, the 3 zones kick in and the colours start looking washed out.

If I can't, please make this a feature in the settings so we can individually set lights to single or triple zone. In some areas the triple zone is awesome, just others I want the choice.

Thanks!

One of my led strip looses the wifi and when I turn them on, they start to flash red green blue and after that 10 secs stay in white mode. They also disappeared from the app and I have to add them manually.... Every time. Did anyone experience the same ?

A few years ago I came across a comment that referenced "elder millennials".

I felt SEEN.

As I get older I understand technology less and less, so I apologize for this.

What's the best way to get colorful, immersive TV backlighting that matches the screen?

TL/DR; what's the proper course of action if a bulb works properly from the Apple Home app but not from the LIFX app?

I have a downlight that has been working well for several weeks, but today my contractor came in to replace a (different) light fixture on the same circuit, and he ended up accidentally resetting the downlight. I pulled out the QR code and added it back to Home and LIFX, but in the LIFX app it keeps "going dark" or completely disappearing.

I just moved into an apartment that has sixty-year-old kitchen cabinets, with no lights underneath them. There are three shadowy segments, and each of them is considerably less than 80". Using Strips is therefore expensive and wasteful.

A puck or some sort of other light that could be mounted under a cabinet (adhesively or with screws) would be an amazing addition to the LIFX portfolio. I realize that you can't get something out in time to help me with these cabinets, but I'll be renovating the kitchen in the future... just sayin'. :-)
