4 out of 5 stars
These are my favorite strip lights!
I bought these even though they are pricey because they integrate with both Alexa and Smart Things. What I love about these lights are that the lights are very vibrant and you can make different sections of each light strip different colors. The only thing I do not like is the adhesive tape. It’s horrible. Within 24 hours they had fallen off despite following the instructions on how to properly prep and attach the lights. I luckily had double sided tape that I was able to use to reattach them. What I didn’t know when I bought them was that they came in two separate strips that you can attach together. I really like this as I put the lights on the back of my tv. Rounding corners with strip lighting can be difficult, so having them in two separate strips which worked well for my setup. I put one on top of the back of the tv and one at the bottom. I did have to buy an entension cord for another $5 with the proper pin connections, but the result was worth it. I own Phillips Hue light strips and a no name cheap brand. The LIFX are my favorite. The hue aren’t as bright and you can’t change the lights in different sections of the light strip. The cheap ones broke within a year. I plan on buying more.

    I have installed several LiFX products in my home, and am quite satisfied with both the quality and utility of all of them. I have the Life Gen 1 A19 bulbs (non-HomeKit compatible), the Gen 2 LiFX+ A19, the Mini's, and several LED strip kits. These, like all the LiFX products work with Alexa, but most people that I have spoken to (including the fine folks at Best Buy) are unaware that to get that to happen, you need to load the LiFX skill into your Alexa account. I have them controlled by Harmony Hub, Samsung SmartThings, Apple HomeKit (so I can use Siri), and Alexa... and of course the native Apple App.
    For those that are having difficulty with operation, be sure to update the firmware and make certain that you have a 2.4Ghz network available. I had issues initially with too many devices on my router. It turns out the having 58 wifi devices maxed out my older router (could only handle 48 devices), and I was having issues with things (including these) drop off the network. Since the upgrade, nothing has vanished from the network.

    With a very small amount of effort ( and a bit of assistance from a Skill), these might become your favorite lights. I have Philips Hue products as well as several generic "works with Alexa" WiFi enabled LED strip products. These are by far the brightest and most color-true strips (and lights) that I am aware of.

    The adhesive on ALL strips are terrible, and there are available here on Amazon clamps that hold it in place with a nylon clamp and a single screw. This definitely won't be a solution for the TV bias lights, and for that application I used the 3M adhesive tape also available here on Amazon. I know, everyone will say "for that price. they should stick" but sadly, none do. I had to use the 3M adhesive/ clamps on the Philips Hue ones as well.

    Amazinggggg. The paint mode, set to a slow move effect. Amazing. There is even in-between colors so you can blend it JUST right (no hard lines between colors).I cannot stress enough how much I underestimated these light strips. I am by all means going to buy another starter kit as well as a 4-pack.

    The ONLY crappy thing is, when in music mode, as part of a group, it only flashes one color. But its ok because it definitely throws more light than either of the bulbs do, which I'm also reviewing and briefly touch on below. I will add though, the brightness is with the strip laid out in the open. Not tucked into something as an accent light. But that's where those moving rainbows and painted colors are gonna pick up the slack and STILL hold their own next to the bulbs. Do not hesitate to grab these. Especially if on sale.

    I bought the a-19 and the mini as well. You can save some dough going with the mini. But... The a19 points straight out almost like a floodlights and has a brighter "spot" than the mini. But the mini shoots out more directions.

    I'm so glad I chose LIFX over Philips. These are all so amazing. I will update later as I haven't even installed the strips yet.

    I've been using LIFX bulbs for almost two years now. I have a LIFX, four of the LIFX+, two mini color, and two Z strips. None of these devices have had disconnect issues since they fixed the firmware problem earlier last year. Anyone having issues, please note the three statements below.

    1: All LIFX lights have problems on 5ghz wifi. This isn't just unique to the LIFX Z. Connect to a 2.4ghz network and you'll have no problems.

    2: Connect your LIFX Z strips to the controller BEFORE you plug it into the wall. This one seems obvious to me. Why would you assume it would work if you plugged the strip into the controller after the controller is powered up?

    3: LIFX long ago patched out the wifi disconnect issues in their system. If you're having connectivity problems then odds are VERY good that it's how your network is configured, NOT the bulbs. Either your access point is just to far away, or the AP is very old, or it's just a cheap AP. If you have cheap/ old wireless, it's time to replace it. Sorry. (Not sorry! Upgrade that 10 year old AP fool!)

    Bonus nit pick: One star reviewers who lambasted this product for "falling off" are either lazy or their homes are excessively dirty. Please read the instructions and use the included alcohol wipes to prep the install surface. Sheesh.

    Now then... I've got two of these strips (second gen) and i'm giving them five stars. They are fantastic. No disconnect issues and they respond quickly. I've tested integration on both Alexa and Google. While I've recently moved my whole home to Google, LIFX integration for Alexa is spectacular and my migration away from Alexa had nothing to do with LIFX.

    The color depth and brightness of LIFX products empirically blows everything by Hue out of the water.
    And these don't require a proprietary hub!!

    Do it!

    Las luces se ven muy bien , puedes escoger entre luz en tonos de blanco o de varios o un solo color.
    No le pongo las 5 estrellas por que el proceso de registro de las luces en la aplicacion al menos con telefonos android era tedioso y batalle mucho , ya una vez registrada la lifx z funcionaba bien quizas el 50% del tiempo y tenia que estar desconectando y volviendo a conectar la lifx z para que funcionara.. En fechas recientes la app se actualizo y mejoro mucho, ahora funciona bien quizas un 80% del tiempo. Supongo que el problema es exclusivo de este modelo por que tengo tambien un lifx mini y ese si funciona bien el 100% del tiempo.
