The 5-in-1 and 3 discrete per "color segment" strips can vary in power required. Others claim the maximum power drawn at full length is a measly 25W. The Lightstrip Plus has 54 LEDs per meter (18 CW + 18 RGB + 18 CW) Source: The power used per meter doesn't appear to be linear across the maximum 10m strip (1 controller + 8 x 1m extension strips). The brightness is a function of the power required per meter of strip. I found two - one that is dimmable (ARILUX AL-LC08) and one that isn't (ARILUX AL-LC06). If you're interested, they're available on Banggood for about $16 CAD. However, I've discovered that there is also a 5 channel dimmable wifi controller that might work with existing hue strips and more than likely, the strips you can buy off Alibaba. Anyway, most of these controllers are only 4 channel (RGBW). If you've already done this, please share!!Īlso, while I was searching for the compatible LED strip extension I found several ppl who decided to go another route an use a 3rd party controller (this is actually kind of nice because you can get them with wifi built-in and completely negate the need for a bridge).
Search for "5 in 1 led strip" and you'll have all kinds of options to choose from.
Philips hue party hue update#
I'll post another update when I'm done.įor anyone who doesn't want to wait, they can find it for themselves over at Alibaba. I'm going to order some 5-in-1 LED strip and will test it out for myself.
Philips hue party hue how to#
It turns out that sometime this year (2017) someone figured out how to combine all 5 colors into a single SMD LED chip! The whole reason I'm posting this now is because I finally found something today that I think might just work. So the first thing was to find a compatible extension strip that isn't $40 CAD per meter! I've been searching for about a week now and it's quite difficult to find something that will work. The controller is different than most because it supposed dual whites or 5 channels total vs the typical channel RGBW that was most commonly found in the past. There is 6 pins on the light strip: C B G R F VCC (Cool White, Blue, Green, Red, Warm White & +24Vcc) Someone has already gone through the hard work of figuring all of this out over at the smartthings forum: *Note that True White is also called Cool White or Pure White. (Red/Green/Blue + Warm White + True White*). Hue LightStrip Plus has 3 different types of discrete SMD LEDs. In my search I've found a few things others might find interesting.įor those of you who are new to this concept, there is a few things you should know
I've been looking for LED strips that are compatible with the Philips Hue LightStrip Plus.
