LIFX Lightstrip Color Zones, Wi-Fi Smart LED Light Strip, Full Color with Polychrome Technology™, No Bridge Required, Works with Alexa, Hey Google, HomeKit and Siri, 80" Kit

UPDATE:Last week (10/30/2022) there was a firmware update for the LIFX Lightstrip. I am happy to say that after installing this update, and several days of use, the lightstrip is working flawlessly. It is remaining fully connected at all times. It is responsive not just in the app, but also through HomeKit and Alexa. As this is working superbly, I have changed my rating from 2 stars to 5.I recently got this light strip to use as bias lighting in my home office. Set up was easy, and they connected well with both HomeKit and Alexa. After a couple of days, they stopped staying connected to my wifi. They are in the same room as the router. In order to use the lights, I need to reset them to reconnect them every single time I want to turn them on or off. I was very disappointed considering the price point and the quality of the strip itself. The lights are bright, and the colors are vibrant. Since I have this installed already, I may get a smart plug just to turn it on and off since the plug is in an odd place. Overall, mostly disappointed with what could be a great device.

Update 11/7/22An update to my original review taking off a star for poor connectivity. A recent firmware update released for my strips 2.9 (for older chipsets)/3.9 with patch notes specifically reporting improved connectivity seem to be working. Where it normal for the lights to drop the connection daily and require a reset, they have not disconnected once since the update. Be warned though, a small percentage of people reported the update bricking their lights. However, I have updated 4 so far with no issues.Like others have stated, the lights are very bright and gorgeous.... when they work. The strips suffer from an unusual amount of disconnections which can be resolved by unplugging them and plugging them back in. But quite annoying for something this price when I never suffered this with cheaper brands.

I absolutely love these LED lights and highly recommend this brand in particular. There are so many cool things you can do with them on the app on your phone. Well worth the money and I’ve had mine for years and they are still going strong. I just keep adding strip after strip to them. I have mine going all the way around the top of my room.

When I went to add device on the LIFX app, it took me more than a week to get the app to work and connect it. I had given up on it and thought 'let's give it one more try' today and it actually connected this time. Originally it would just load for 20-30 minutes and then say could not connect. Or it would say switch the light switch on and off 5 times when my product only has a plug. Now I am finally able to use the app and see colors other than yellow light. It really is beautiful, but I was hoping there would be more options for scenes. Now that it finally works, it is a good little mood setter. Now I need to buy a galaxy projector for the ceiling. I wish there was a customer support number. This would make a good nightlight for kids.

Like many people I read all the reviews and watched plenty videos on the LIFX strips and they seemed like a pretty good smart lighting solution to go with my HomeKit home, I was fascinated by the color zones and the ability to animate them so I chose this strip over the eve strip.. a terrible mistake. First off it was an absolute pain to connect it to the home app and the LIFX app and I had to unplug and re start it several times before that even happened and I was finally able to get it to work.... but only for a few minutes. Then it “went dark” as the LIFX app likes to call it again, so I went about re starting it and unplugging it again and again and finally got it to work fairly seamlessly for about an hour and then I went to bed, when I woke up the lights would not respond to anything and no matter how many times I tried to re start it and turn it on and off I could not get them to turn back on, I have spent about a day and a half trying to get these lights to work and I have to say for spending over $200 on this kit and the extensions I am thoroughly disappointed. This has been by far the worst purchase I have ever made and I can’t believe this company sells such a spotty product!

Been using Lifx for a long long time. They keep getting better as the years go on. They have better colors more vibrant and more options than Hue (my mom has all hue). The newer strips have super smooth gradients and all link together well. Flic company makes internet connected switches that link to an inexpensive hub you can use to control hue and lifx and they work great with this ecosystem. Recommend.

I am so shocked. I've known about LIFX but I had no idea their lights are on a completely different level than other smart lights. I first got a bulb from them and was shocked at how vibrant the colors are. I've had Phillips hue lightbulbs for years, and these completely blow those out of the water. Not even to mention that they don't need a hub they just connect to Wi-Fi. I've never had any connection issues with any of these products and this light strip is no exception. The color reproduction is wild and the app is really well designed. It comes with a bunch of built-in scenes that are actually really pretty and not just techy. They have different themes like artist series, football teams, and sunsets. if you were looking for any smart lights, I would definitely suggest looking at LIFX.
