PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION. There are 7 versions of Philips Hue LightStrip, many with differing connectors.

This is a custom, made to order Control Box Extension Cable for Philips Hue LightStrip OmniGlow (produced from late 2025 and can display multiple colours at once). It will extend the distance from the Control Box to the LightStrip only.

This cable will NOT connect to 1m Extension LightStrips as that connector is slightly different and incompatible. For a cable that plugs in-between the Control Box and a 1m Extension Lightstrip, you will need to search for 'Converter Hue OmniGlow'. For cables that go in-between Lightstrips, you will need to search for a 'Spacer Cable Hue OmniGlow'.

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 LightStrip Cables, Leads and Extensions are made with the proper connectors for the Philips Hue OmniGlow LightStrip system.

< Choose the Length >

These cables are custom-made to your exact length. If your preferred size isn't available, simply purchase a longer length and let us know your specifications.

Unlike other Philips LightStrips, which are controlled by power for each of the five LED colours, OmniGlow LightStrips are controlled by data. Since power is delivered by only one core resistance can impact performance. This explains the limited cable length compared to other LightStrips. Cables should not be combined because the maximum length available is the longest that will work without issues.

All the cables work but when they're too long for the setup they create too much resistance causing the LightStrip to randomly flash or blink. In a controlled environment the following combinations shown with a tick work well. Those with a cross will flicker.

		Flat Cable						Round Cable

There's no perfect formula for what will and won't work with each setup. This is why you can return these products for free if they don't suit your particular needs.

Fitting Instructions

Please switch off the lightstrip at the wall before plugging these cables in. The Control Box calibrates to new cables and Extension LightStrips when powered on, so it knows how far to spread the gradient.

They usually fit quite tightly. Push it in firmly with a slight wiggle and the pins should go all the way in. While the cable will plug into some connectors either way up, they only work one way. If it doesn't work turn it off at the wall and plug it in the other way. It shouldn't damage the LightStrip if you plug it the wrong way up as long as it's not powered on for hours.

Since Phillips didn't design these lightStrips with cables in mind, there's nothing to clip or lock onto. LightStrips only stay in place because they're stuck. In some situations you might need to secure the connections with insulation tape or heatshrink.

Philips Hue LightStrip Cables and Solutions

These are for use with Philips Hue LightStrip products only. Whilst our cables and adapters are being used by ourselves without any problems, you use them at your own risk. It is recommended that you connect no more than 10 meters of actual LightStrip to one Control Box. LightStrips and Control Box are not included.

Some images may not show you the exact cable you will receive, they are there as a helpful guide that shows you how and where it is meant to be used.

Everyone gets things wrong from time to time, so we do accept returns for those times, however, as most of our products are made to order, we kindly ask you to make sure the product you order is the one you need. If you’re not sure, please feel free to ask, I’m sure we can figure it out.
