Learn how to install your LIFX SuperColor Beam 6 Piece Kit with step-by-step instructions, including mounting tips and common mistakes to avoid.

Quick Answer

Install your LIFX SuperColor Beam 6 Piece Kit by mounting the light bars with the included adhesive, connecting them via the LIFX app, and customizing zones for dynamic wall effects.

Why the Beam Kit Works for Wall Framing

The LIFX SuperColor Beam 6 Piece Kit is designed to frame or accent walls with flowing light. Each pack has 61 customizable zones, so you can create gradients or chase effects across the bars. The kit includes six light bars that connect physically and wirelessly, no hub required.

Because the bars are individual units, placement matters more than with a single strip. You need to plan the layout before sticking anything down to avoid gaps or misalignment.

Installation Steps

Plan Your Layout: Measure the wall or surface where you want the beams. Arrange the six bars on the floor to form your desired shape (e.g., a rectangle, zigzag, or line). Make sure the connectors align end-to-end. A dry run on the floor prevents misalignment once adhesive is applied.
Clean and Prepare the Surface: Wipe the mounting area with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol to remove dust and grease. Wait for the surface to dry completely before peeling the adhesive backing. Skipping this step can cause the adhesive to fail within days, especially on textured walls.
Mount the Beams: Peel the adhesive backing from each light bar and press firmly against the wall for 30 seconds. Start with the first bar, then attach the next bar using the included connectors. Ensure each connector clicks securely. Press the entire bar, not just the ends, to avoid air bubbles that weaken adhesion.
Power On and Connect: Plug the power adapter into the first beam. Open the LIFX app and follow the on-screen prompts to add the device. The app will search for the beam kit and connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Make sure your phone is on the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network during setup.
Configure Zones and Effects: In the LIFX app, select the beam kit and choose the number of zones you want to customize. Use the effects menu to set flowing colors, gradients, or static scenes. Save your settings as a scene for quick access. You can assign different colors to individual zones for a multi-color effect, but the app treats the whole kit as one device.
