What owners say

Real homes. Real lights.

Every review comes from a verified LIFX owner. Photos and video are theirs, shot in their own spaces — no studio, no staging.

What makes LIFX String Lights different from regular string lights?

Each bulb contains three individually addressable color zones, giving 36 zones of control across a single string. This lets you blend multiple colors within a single bulb and create motion-like effects, rather than just switching the whole string one color at a time.

How long are they, and can I extend them?

Each string is 24 feet long with 12 uniquely addressable LED bulbs, and you can connect up to 3 kits together for a total length of 72 feet.

How bright are they, and what's the color range?

At full brightness the string outputs a total of 600 lumens. For whites, you get a range from a very warm 1,500 Kelvin up to a cool 9,000K, plus full LIFX SuperColor.

Do I need a hub or bridge to set them up?

No — there's no bridge or hub required, just a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection. Setup is done through the LIFX app (or directly via Apple Home/Google Home QR code pairing).

Are they weatherproof for permanent outdoor use?

Yes. Our outdoor string lights carry an IP66 outdoor rating, and we've built them with premium materials, heavy-duty cabling, outdoor-rated seals, and discreet anchor points for a seamless install — designed to endure the elements season after season.

What voice assistants and smart home platforms do they work with?

We natively support Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, and Home Assistant — so you can turn on the mood lighting for a BBQ or backyard party with a simple voice command or automation. Keep in mind our Themes and FX effects are only available through the LIFX app, since third-party platforms are limited to basic on/off, color, and brightness commands (Apple Shortcuts is an exception, letting you trigger specific themes remotely).
