FAQs
Can I use these connectors for angled connections?
No, these connectors are specifically designed for straight-line connections only. They cannot be used to create corners or angled joins between strip lights.

These connectors are compatible with Philips Hue Flux and Philips Hue Flux ultra-bright strip lights.
How many strip lights can I connect with one connector?

You can cut your Hue Flux strip light at the marked intervals, which are every 16.7cm.
Do I need a Hue Bridge to use these connectors?

You can cut the strip at any 16.7cm interval and use connectors. However, each cut is permanent for that segment of the strip.
Troubleshooting
Connected strip light does not turn on
Check that the strip light is properly seated within the connector and that the copper contacts are aligned and making good contact. Ensure the power supply is connected and functional.
Light is dim or flickering after connection
Verify that the connector is fully closed and that both pieces of strip light are securely inserted. Damaged strip segments or a faulty connector can cause performance issues.
Connector does not close properly
Ensure no excess plastic or debris is obstructing the connector. The strip should be inserted straight and fully to allow the connector to snap shut.
