Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut smart light strips to fit my space?
Most light strips have designated cutting points marked along their length, typically every few inches. However, cutting usually means you'll lose the remaining portion unless the kit includes connectors to reuse cut sections.
Do I need a separate hub or bridge?
This varies by product. Many budget-friendly strips connect directly to your Wi-Fi network through their companion app, while others may require a separate hub for full functionality or integration with broader smart home systems.
How bright are these strips compared to regular room lighting?
Smart light strips are primarily designed for accent and ambient lighting rather than primary room illumination. They typically provide enough light for mood lighting or backlighting but shouldn't be expected to replace overhead fixtures or table lamps.
What happens if my internet goes out?
Most smart strips retain their last settings and continue operating if Wi-Fi is unavailable, though you won't be able to make changes through the app. Some include physical controllers or remember manual button settings as backup control methods.
