Compatibility
There are 7 versions of Philips Hue LightStrip, many with differing connectors. There are 3 revisions of Lightstrip Plus, there is Gradient Lightstrip, Solo Lightstrip and now both OmniGlow & Flux Strip Lights. Most versions have 2 different sized connectors, the Control Box socket and the LightStrip Extension connector, making 3 different cable combinations for each of the 7 versions. That’s 21 different cables, plus splitters.
As all these cables are made to order, please ensure this cable is compatible with your LightStrip and connects between your intended sockets/connectors.

Other Cables
This is a custom, made to order Control Box Extension Cable for Philips Hue OmniGlow Strip Light (produced from late 2025 and can display multiple colours at once). It will extend the distance from the Control Box to the LightStrip only.
There are multiple scenarios for which these can be used. For example, you may want to extend the distance from the plug to the first LightStrip, because it wouldn't originally reach.
This will not work in between any cut edges of LightStrip.
All of our Philips Hue OmniGlow Strip Light Cables, Leads and Extensions are made with the proper connectors for the Philips Hue OmniGlow Strip Light system.

Dimensions
< Choose the Length >
All of these cables are made to order, to the exact length you need. If the size you need is not in the options, just purchase a length that will accommodate the length you would like, then drop us a note with your exact specification. Length is from plug tip to socket tip, excluding any external pins.
Whilst other Philips LightStrips are controlled by power for each colour, OmniGlow Strip Lights are controlled by data. Data doesn't travel as far as power, so cable lengths for OmniGlow Strip Lights are much more limited. Cables should not be combined for this reason.
These cables will work fine for most setups, but for some longer length lightstrips there the may be difficulty. There isn't a 100% formula as to what will and won't work for each setup, this is one of the reasons you can return these free of charge if they don't work for your particular Setup.
Although the cable will plug into some connectors either way up, they will only work one way. If it doesn't work, turn it off at the wall and plug it in the other way up. It shouldn't damage the lightstrip if you plug it the wrong way up, as long as its not powered on for hours.
As Phillips didn't design these lightstrips with cables in mind, there is nothing for cables or lightstrips to clip and lock onto. LightStrips only don't come loose because they are stuck in place. In some situations you may need to secure the connections in place with insulation tape or heatshrink.

Fitting Instructions
Please turn off the lightstrip at the wall before plugging these cables in. This is because the Control Box calibrates to new cables and Extension LightStrips when powered on so it knows how far to spread the gradient.Although the cable will plug into some connectors either way up, they will only work one way. If it doesn't work, turn it off at the wall and plug it in the other way up. It shouldn't damage the lightstrip if you plug it the wrong way up, as long as its not powered on for hours.
