LIFX Everyday Starter Kit

Light up your space with the LIFX Everyday Starter Kit, which pairs a 20ft flexible lightstrip with 24 individually controllable zones (extendable to 40ft or cut to fit) with an 800-lumen, 90+ CRI smart bulb that delivers billions of colors for every moment from wind-down to focus to play. Line cabinets, frame desks, or add ambience anywhere, and control it all with the included LIFX Controller, the app, or your voice. Matter-supported and Wi-Fi direct, it works with Apple, Google, Alexa, and SmartThings with no hub required, so you can screw in the bulb, connect, and go. Up to 25,000 hours of lifespan and energy efficient to boot.

Please note: The LIFX Everyday lightstrip is not compatible with the LIFX SuperColor Lightstrip.

Why you'll love it

Everything you need to know

  • Light science for focus, energy, and rest. Tune your circadian rhythm with the right wavelength at the right time of day, from clear focus in the morning to deep rest at night. No pills, just light.
  • No hub, no fuss. Connect every light in the bundle to the free LIFX app over your home Wi-Fi. Setup is quick, with no extra gear and no complicated pairing.
  • Vivid color and tunable whites, everywhere. Rich, precise color and warm 2700K to crisp 6500K whites, tuned for ambience rather than the arcade. Cut the 20 ft tape to length or extend it up to 40 ft, and add multi-zone effects that chase, flow, and morph across the strip.
  • Built on Matter, works with your ecosystem. Matter compatibility connects your bulbs and tape to Alexa, Apple, Google, Samsung, and beyond, so your lights join your ecosystem, not the other way around.
  • Control at the touch of a button, designed in Australia. Included Smart Action Buttons control lights, scenes, and other Matter devices with no phone required, or use the app or your voice. All of it is engineered by LIFX in Australia, with high-end looks at an everyday smart bulb price.

No Wi-Fi? No worries. The LIFX Everyday Lightstrip includes a built-in controller for instant, intuitive control—turn the lightstrip on or off, cycle through preset lighting effects, adjust brightness, or press and hold to gently fade the room into a warm sunset glow, all without opening an app.

When you want to go further, connect the Everyday Lightstrip for smart control. Use the LIFX Controller’s programmable buttons or sync via Matter to control your LIFX lights and other compatible smart devices through Apple, Google, Alexa, or SmartThings—creating a fully personalised lighting experience with just a tap.

Create Scenes that are uniquely yours. Save your favorite lighting combinations with the perfect mix of color, brightness, and effects, then bring them back anytime with a single tap.

Scenes can be scheduled to match your routine or added to the LIFX Widget for quick access from your phone or smartwatch. Whether it’s a calm morning glow or a burst of party color, your perfect lighting is always within reach.

Discover Themes, beautifully curated lighting moods crafted by LIFX designers to transform your space with a tap. Choose from hand-picked looks like Golden Hour, Movie Night, or Holiday Glow to instantly match the moment, from calm evenings to celebrations or game-day energy.

Every Theme can include subtle animation, bringing movement, warmth, and atmosphere that feels alive. Each is designed for effortless ambiance and personality that suits any occasion.

From gentle Sunrises and drifting Clouds to playful Christmas, Halloween, or Meteor effects, your space becomes a canvas for creativity and mood. Explore immersive, animated lighting that moves, shifts, and responds—more than illumination, it’s art in motion.

Some effects are available only on select LIFX products with advanced zoning and FX support, so the more capable your light, the deeper the magic. With LIFX, your lighting isn’t just functional—it’s expressive, alive, and uniquely yours.

Let your lights run the show with simple, intelligent routines — on at sunset, off at bedtime, or tuned to match your day. Explore app Presets like Circadian Rhythm for natural light that follows your body clock, or Evening Relaxation to unwind in soft, soothing tones. Lighting that feels effortless — and perfectly in sync with you.

Everyday Lightstrip Setup

05 steps

Everything you need to install and style your Everyday Lightstrip is included in the box — no hub required.

In the box:

  • 1 x Everyday Lightstrip (240")
  • 1 x Wi-Fi Controller
  • 1 x Plug in Power Supply
  • 1 x User Manual with Matter QR Code

You’ll Need:

  • A smartphone (iOS 18.0+ or Android 8.1+)
  • The LIFX app (download from App Store or Google Play
  • A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network (Most smart devices require 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, that’s usually fine.)
  • Your Wi-Fi password

Important Notes:

  • Keep your phone near the light during setup.
  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled.
  • Ensure your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want the light to use.

Installation

  1. Plan your full run before fixing anything. Lay the strip out to check the fit, and decide which end the controller sits at — make sure a power outlet is within reach of the cord from that end.
  2. If you need to cut the strip to length, do this before mounting. Cut only at the scissors marks printed on the strip.
  3. If you need to bend the strip, avoid 90° or sharper corners along the lit sections. If a sharp corner is unavoidable, bend at a cut point instead.
  4. Clean the surface, ensuring it's free from dust and dirt. Allow it to dry before proceeding.
  5. Peel the backing off the strip and carefully place it into position. Press firmly between the LEDs along the full length, applying pressure for at least 30 seconds. Smooth along the strip to ensure it's fully adhered. The end of the tape also has a connector with adhesive — peel and stick this down too.
  6. Connect the strip to the controller, then plug into a standard indoor outlet.

Tips

  • Apply once to your final position — the adhesive will not hold reliably if removed and reapplied.
  • This product is for indoor use only — not suitable for dust or moisture.
  • If you connect an additional strip after the controller is already powered on, press all buttons on the controller simultaneously and hold for about 4 seconds. A light will run the full length as it detects and counts all connected pieces.
  • To factory reset, press and hold all buttons on the controller for approximately 10 seconds.
  • Do not use near ovens, radiators, heaters, or other excessively hot environments.
  • Clean only with a soft dry cloth while unpowered. Do not use cleaning agents.

Select your device below to get step-by-step setup instructions tailored to your phone. We recommend using the Matter QR code method for the quickest and most reliable connection — you'll find the QR code in your product manual, or printed on the back of your device.
