Mains Powered Set-Ups

Plan your LIFX outdoor setup with confidence. This tool shows how many lights you can run, how far you can run them, and which layouts stay within safe power and distance limits. All mains-powered LIFX Outdoor products require the 230W LIFX Outdoor Power Supply, and factors like cable length, wattage load, and accessory placement affect performance. Enter your details below for an instant, installation-ready recommendation.

To get the most out of your LIFX Outdoor system, make sure you have the essentials ready:

  1. Strong Wi-Fi coverage: Your lights should be installed within reach of your home’s Wi-Fi. You can test coverage using your phone; we recommend placing lights no more than 100 feet from your router for best performance.
  2. A 230W LIFX Outdoor Power Supply: Each Path Light or Spot Light uses 24W, meaning one power supply can support up to 8 lights. If your layout requires more lights, simply add another power supply.
