Learn how to extend your LIFX Outdoor SuperColor String Lights up to 72 feet with the 24ft extension kit. No hub required.
Quick answer
Yes, you can extend LIFX Outdoor SuperColor String Lights up to 72 feet using the 24ft Extension Only set. The extension connects directly to an existing starter kit without any hub or bridge.
Compatibility and limitations
The 24ft extension is designed exclusively for LIFX Outdoor String Light starter sets. It cannot be used standalone or with other brands. Each bulb maintains three color zones, so your extended setup still supports rolling rainbows, sunset fades, and icy white flows.
One limitation: the extension does not include its own power supply or controller. You must already own a starter kit to power and control the additional length. Also, the total run cannot exceed 72 feet, so plan your layout accordingly.
Setup considerations
The extension uses the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection as the starter set. No hub or bridge is needed. You can schedule lights, build routines, or run presets through the LIFX app. For best performance, ensure your Wi-Fi signal reaches the full length of the string.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use the extension without a starter kit?
- No. The 24ft Extension Only requires an existing LIFX Outdoor String Light starter set. It does not include a power supply or controller. Always start with a starter kit before buying extensions.
- How many extensions can I add?
- You can add up to two 24ft extensions to a single starter kit, for a maximum total length of 72 feet. Adding more may cause power or signal issues. Plan your layout to stay within the 72 ft limit.
- Does the extension support the same lighting effects?
- Yes. Each bulb in the extension maintains three color zones, so you get the same rolling rainbows, sunset fades, and icy white flows as the starter set.
- Do I need a hub or bridge?
- No. LIFX string lights connect directly to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. No hub, bridge, or extra hardware is required. Setup is straightforward if your Wi-Fi reaches the installation area.
- How do I set up the extension?
- Connect the extension's connector to the end of your starter set. The lights should power on automatically. Then, use the LIFX app to group the bulbs and set schedules or routines. Grouping all bulbs in the app helps manage them as one unit.
