- Philips Hue only allows for a single continuous light strip run. Litcessory products allow for several!
This cut-end to cut-end connector, specifically designed for the Philips Hue Lightstrip system, enables you to connect one cut light strip directly to another cut light strip. No more wasting costly light strip pieces!
This adapter is great for
Reusing the end of a cut light strip
MADE FOR INDOOR DRY LOCATIONS ONLY

Quick comment - these instructions are great - EXCEPT that you only need to trim about 1/4"-1/3" of the plastic casing on either side of the solder points. You do NOT need to trim the massive amount he demonstrates. If you look when he is actually attaching the connectors, you can see he has removed much less of the plastic casing than he demonstrates earlier in the video. I did this and ended up with the plastic casing perfectly flush against the connector.
This is 100% accurate. I trimmed the amount he did initially and it made making the connection much more loose and constantly had to manipulate the cut end to make the connection. If you trim a shorter cut of the plastic casing it fits much more snug and the solder points have less room to move once the connector is closed, making a more solid connection to the pins.
do u know if thats the same length for the gradient ambience strips? those ones just have gray lines to mark were to cut but there r no contact points so im stuck
Can you use this using hue light solo version without soldered connection to extension with soldered connection?
When i can buy the V4 Version from End-2-End Extension Adapter by Amazon Germany? I can buy the V3 Version only, but i have a V4 Version from Philipps Lightstripe.
This video was so helpful for my project. It worked like a charm! Thanks for posting this and for this wonderful accessories!
i cutted there, where the cut mark is not at the connectors, is it repairable? Cus why da FCK did they mark a cut there where u didnt cut it?
im at the same point with the gradient ambience strips since they have a defuser cover over the lines they put a gray line on the back to where u can cut and so i did and theres no contact points at those ends and from ive seen others do is soldering wires to those ends to reconnect them which is something i dont want to do but one guy used cat64 cabling to do this in another video
This was much more work than I thought
Good thing I looked up a '''how to'' video otherwise I would have messed up my lightstrip. It's more work to cut it than I thought 🤣
do you have videos for reconnecting the gradient ambience strips? i cut at the gray lines were philips says to cut but there r no contact points at those ends
I just cut a straight line on the stripes below the scissor logo am I screwed or what?
Hello! Did you cut in between the middle of the silver connections?
Litcessory Support I didn’t cut on the silver connections but on the scissor logo and lines
Unfortunately that piece of lightstrip is no longer usable.
WHY THE F*** DOES IT HAVE A LINE TO CUT IT IF IT JUST BREAKS IT???! I’m fuming right now 😤
b p it’s so you don’t screw up the actual light strip, without this type of video instruction it would be impossible for hue to instruct their customers on how to go about this, and they don’t want you to just cut a part of the actual light strip and screw the entire thing up
Hi Gonzo,
Thank you very much for this video. I am wondering if it is possible to get in contact with you for some help regarding the phillips hue v4 or if it is possible to make a video on "cut-end connector" for the v4 as I am struggling to figure it out when trying to incorporate it into my set up.
Thanks in advance and thanks again for the video.
Kind regards,
Sam
Hello Sam, no problem. We have reached out via Email.
This needs to be retitled how to join lights the most difficult way possible
Wait. How do you connect the extension to the cut ends of the Hue Lightstrip? You seemed to have skipped over that part so I can't figure out how each "clip" is connect to one another from what is shown in the video. Where do the pins (males end) of the extension go? Which side is male and which is female, etc.?
This video only shows how to connect the Cut-end to cut-end connector; this is to show how to connect two cut Phillips Hue Lightstrip Plus Lightstrip sections. This is completed from beginning to end in this video. This would mean that there really isn't a female or male end, though if you think of it like those terms, then each strip piece would be the male and the connector would be a female to female. Are you requesting a video that shows how to connect an extension cable to a snap connector?
YES
PLEASE
@@KDR195 I think you gone need a male to male connector and then do some soldering. Thats at least gone be the most cheep solutiong. Or it might be possible use 2 of these connetions and then put a male-male in between... tho these connectors might then cost as much as a 1m extention for hue. I dont know if i can link in the products to webpages for you here... but just search ebay for something like: "WHITE Pin Strip | for Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus | Male 6 Pin "
Here are 2 videos of how you can do it:
1: ruclips.net/video/jQEjFyyuVac/видео.html
2: ruclips.net/video/U-5Mpn9eTd0/видео.html
I think you gone need a male to male pin that is spesific to phillips hue to be sure that the pins are fitting to hue... so the safe buy is probaly the items you find when specificly searching for male male pins for hue ledstrips. Hope that helps.. i am just in proses of getting the right items to a livingroom project i am working on. So i have not done this my self yet.
@@niravapurv4578 and @Kelvin, all you need is the Cut-End to 6-Pin connector which can be found here: litcessory.com/product/cut-end-to-6-pin-extension/
Very good Video. Does the bridge Philips Hue work whit another ligth strip?
Hello
Currently our products are specifically designed to work with the Philips Lightstrip Plus V3 product line.
While we have had customers achieve success with Eve Lightstrips and other non-Hue products, they have not been designed or tested for other brands. If they are still a 6 pin connection, I'd say it's a good chance. However, we can't make any guarantees.
Please feel free to reach out with any further questions.
@@litcessorysupport3019 Thank u very much for ur support.
Hi bought the wee plastic snap connectors to connect cut Philips hue cut ends to each other the light comes on but the colours don’t work properly ? Do I need to buy the longer bendy connectors too for it to work properly ?
Hi Sharron, it looks like your snap connector is not secured properly. I would recommend wrapping electrical tape around the snap connector.
Hopefully this will be the perfect solution for my Gaming Desk setup, I'm currently using IKEA's Hallestad Countertop on top of 2 Alex Drawers from IKEA, I want to raise the counter top 4 - 5 inches using IKEA Capita Legs, after that I wanted to have part of my Phillips Hue Lightstrip which is placed at the back side of my desk connect to a Phillips Hue Extension light strip that will run underneath the countertop desk and just over the Alex Drawers (to give a cool, emanating glow for a futuristic look) and then of course I'll need to cut the 40-inch strip in half (or about half, depending on where the solder points end up) then use about 5 to 6.5 feet of Extension cord (thanks to Litcessory) to run under the desk and to the other side of the desk (opposite end) and have the last half of the Phillips Hue Extension cord light up that Alex Drawer. I will need these Cut-End Connectors as well in order to get it to connect to the Extension cord.
Sounds a bit complicated but it's not really that complicated. Wish meh luck! I hope it turns out the way I imagine it, if not I'll probably simply need more Extension length cables
This will be one for the books! @R/Battlestations.
Thanks for the shoutout! Please feel free to reach out to our tech support team with any questions and good luck on your project.

With the new version of the lightstrips do you cut where it says or elsewhere?
You would cut in the middle the the solder pad on V4. We won't have V4 to V3 Adapters and V4"Cut End" connector products for another couple of months so this may affect your project timelines.
Please feel free to reach out with any further questions and apologies for the inconvenience.
@@riosfel95 As long as you cut along the scissor lines on the V4 solder pads your lightstrip will work with our products. If you have any further questions feel free to shoot us an email.
@@riosfel95 Hello Felix, The problem you are describing was a design change by Philips on where to cut the strip and we are working on resolving any confusion. The video is for the older version V3 products. We don't have any V4 connectors available yet and will work on uploading a video once we have the product in. We will include instructions with the V4 products once they are available. Please visit our website for any further details as we will no longer be responding to this thread.
Do you have the new version yet? Not only do you cut ON the solder part, but it is also like micro solders, the solder points are much closer than the older version where they are space out from one another a good amount. @litcessorysupport3019
Is it on same way even for VOCOlinc strip?
Litcessory products are desiged specifically for Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus. Currently, Litcessory products have not been tested with other brands. However, our products are designed for 6-pin lightstrips that are 12mm in width.
Thank You! I can now complete the bottom of my kitchen cabinets
Can I use this to connect the hue to a 3rd party LED strip with the same 5 pin configuration?
Hi James. Our products are made specifically for the Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus 6-Pin version. Our products are not compatible with the older 5-pin version. Please feel free to email us directly at support@litcessory.com if you have any other questions!
How can I get 150 feet ?
do this with two 40 inch light strip extenders, there are connectors on the end of your hue light strip as well as about 10 inches in, so you could get it to exactly 150 if that’s what you’re shooting for
Great product. Horrible workmanship lol
Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Exactly! The way he cuts and rips is hard to bear! :D
