The Philips Hue Lightstrips can always be shortened by cutting along the marked cutting lines. These lines mark the end of one circuit and the beginning of another, which ensures that the light strip continues to function. However, there is no specific information on whether the "Lightstrip Solo" can be shortened specifically. It is advisable to follow the general instructions for Philips Hue Lightstrips and only cut at the marked points.
The Lightstrip Solo (Multicolour, 500 cm, Indoor) operates on an input voltage of 220V-240V. Power consumption is approximately 20 W in operation and 0.5 W on standby. The power cable is approximately 1.5 metres long.
No, no connectors or corner pieces are supplied.
Hue does not have any connectors on sale for this Lightstrip.
However, various connectors from other suppliers are available on the Internet. Just google it...
The lightstrip is bendable and can be curved smoothly around corners, but for a clean 90° angle bend, it is recommended to use a corner connector rather than bending the strip directly. Bending directly is possible but should only be done on designated cut lines to avoid damage. Using an L-shaped corner connector provides a better finish and prevents damage when making right-angle turns.
To synchronise the LEDs with an LG TV, you can use the Philips Hue Sync TV application on LG TVs from 2024 or later with webOS24 or higher. However, if your TV model is not compatible with this application, you can still synchronise the LEDs by purchasing the Hue Sync Box, which synchronises the lights with the TV content via HDMI.
Yes, the Philips Hue Lightstrips can be connected to other Philips Hue products such as switches and motion detectors. These products are part of the Philips Hue smart home system, which enables comprehensive control and integration. You can control the Lightstrips via the Hue app or with voice assistants such as Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri.
The product "Lightstrip Solo (RGBW, 300 cm, Indoor)" is not a starter set, but a single LED light strip. It is part of the Philips Hue smart home system and can be combined with other Philips Hue products to utilise the full functionality. A Philips Hue Bridge is required to have full control over the light strip.
You can control up to 50 lights and 12 accessories with one Philips Hue Bridge. If you have more than 50 lights or 12 accessories in the system, it makes sense to install a second bridge to ensure optimum performance and control.
The Philips Hue "Lightstrip Solo (RGBW, 300 cm, Indoor)" works as follows:
- Control via app: You can change the colour, brightness and intensity of the light using the Philips Hue app. This app offers over 60 presets and allows you to customise the lighting to suit your needs.
- Voice control: The lightstrip is compatible with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Assistant, allowing you to control the light using voice commands.
- Accessories: Although the lightstrip doesn't come with a remote control, you can use easy-to-install accessories, such as a dimmer or motion sensor, to adjust the lights without using the app or voice.
- Installation: Installation is quick and easy. The light strip is self-adhesive and can be stuck to any surface. Just plug it in and use it.
In short, you don't need a special remote to control the lightstrip, because you can do it via the app or voice commands.
Yes, you can control the Philips Hue Solo Lightstrip and define colours without additional accessories, but with some restrictions.
- You can control the Lightstrip with Bluetooth, which allows you to change the colour, brightness and intensity directly via the Philips Hue app without the need for a Hue Bridge.
- You can also control the Lightstrip with smart home assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit.
However, for full functionality, including automations and remote control, a Hue Bridge is required, which must be purchased separately.
