LIFX frequently asked questions
What makes LIFX lights different from other LED brands?
LIFX lights don’t need a separate hub to work. Just connect them straight to your Wi-Fi and you’re good to go. That means fewer cables, less setup hassle, and more time actually enjoying the lighting. Plus, the colours? Sharp, rich, and incredibly vibrant—ideal for gaming setups or flight sim rigs. These indoor or outdoor string lights are unlike any LED string you've seen, making them the envy of your friends.
Do LIFX lights work with voice assistants?

Can I sync LIFX lights with my games or simulations?
