LIFX LZHC3M1USUC07 Z Wi-Fi Lighstrip Experience Kit 9.8′ Multicolor

MEET YOUR NEW LIFX Z
LIFX is color changing, Wi-Fi lighting that you control with your smartphone or tablet.
With the LIFX app you can switch your lights on and off, dim, adjust brightness and color, set different scenes and set wake up and sleep timers. You can control individual lights, rooms, or the entire house.
Even if you don’t have your smartphone with you, LIFX still functions like a normal light by switching on and off with a regular light switch.

ALL YOU NEED TO BEGIN IS…

• A device running iOS 10.0+ or Android 4.1+
• A Wi-Fi Internet connection. Wi-Fi access point must be 802.11b, g or n compliant with WPA2 security and a DHCP-configured connection available for every connected LIFX® light.
• The LIFX app from your app store or at go.lifx.co

Simply complete the installation and setup steps on the next pages then follow the app prompts to enjoy your new lights!

USING EXTENSION CABLES WITH STRIPS

Including extension cables between strips, max total length is 10m / 33’ with a max 30W. Always connect strip pieces with extension cables with the curved surface oriented upwards to avoid damaging the pins.
Be careful when connecting the LIFX Z pins into the extension. They can be fractionally different in alignment and forcing the pins in incorrectly will cause damage.

FAQS

Connectivity, setup and troubleshooting

What type of WiFi do I need ?
Like many devices, LIFX lights connect to the 2.4Ghz band of Wi-Fi not 5Ghz. If you have more than one available network on your router this could mean you are connected to 5Ghz and need to try your other network. All Wi-Fi routers have a 2.4 GHz band so if you only have one network you will be on the right one to get started.

How do I reset a light to factory settings ?
Turn the light off and on at the switch 5 times, about one switch a second (not too fast). The lights will cycle through four colors or whites and stop on white when the reset has been successful. This is how you would remove a light from a network to then add it to a new one.

I’ve set up a new network / changed my password, how do I re-connect my lights ?
If you’ve changed your Wi-Fi password or set up a new router with a new password, you will need to reset your lights and connect them through the app as you did the first time you connected them. This is so you can assign the new, correct password for the security of each device.

How do I connect other devices and services like Voice control or IFTTT ?
This can vary depending on the service you’d like to use. You can find out about major partner products LIFX work well with at LIFX.com. For advice on connecting services you can find instructions for these at go.LIFX.com
