A: The light strip extender must be plugged in at the end of your current Hue lightstrip. If you look at it you will see a plug with pins at the end of the strip. The extension comes with no wall plug or anything to power it so it must be plugged into the end of an existing strip.
Q: Is there a maximum number of extension kits that you can add on?
A: The Hue website says up to 33 feet. I have one that is now 12 feet with no problems
Q: How is electric supplied to these strips
A: The extensions simply plug into the main lines which is powered at a wall socket.
A: Well first and most important is you need the strip driver which is only included with the with the version that starts at a price-point of $70 ish. This $24 item is only an extension for a light strip with the driver included. The $70 light strip that has the driver will work "generally any hub" but, will give you a limited number of options. The hubs are used to deploy and apply the full configuration options for the hue lights that are aired to it. So this extension item will NOT work by iteself because it lacks the LED driver for the strip lights (which retails for $60-$75 depending on the manufacturer, HUE, LIFX, Etc.) This will allow you to pair it with a supported hub, but without the mfr bridge the options are going to be basic. (roughly 10 base colors, a few brightness levels, but little else) The mfr device bridge is what houses all the "customization"and "advanced functions" With the mfr bridge that I have from Phillips Hue, it has a few thousand options for color choices, and brightness settings as well as syncing the light responses to audio sources, scheduled functions (like on at sunset off at sunrise based on your location) the bridge then queries the weather to retrieve the times for those events. It can also do things like change the light color based on the weather (green for rain, orange for thunder, blue for snow, purple for sleet, etc)
A: The base unit has to be plugged into the wall. You can turn it off either from the Hue app or via Alexa
Q: How long is this ? & what is needed to install them ?
A: The light strip is 3ft long but you need the original longer strip that's already connected to the hue system
A: You must first purchase a philips hue bridge. The lights communicate with the bridge so you need the bridge to control the lights through apps on your phone designed for use with philips hue. Furthermore, this item is a 1m extension for the philips hue lightstrip plus. Therefore, you must first purchase a lightstrip plus and only purchase this extension if you need to extend its length. It easily attaches to the extension.
A: The extensions don’t have a power source so they have to be connected to a strip. But you can link 2 exertions together as long as they’re connected to a light strip c
