Litcessory 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector for Philips Hue/Solo Lightstrip (4 Pack, White - Micro 6-PIN V4 / Solo Lightstrip)

I needed a way to attach my Philips Hue Lightstrip v4 to the back of an IKEA pegboard. I had to cut the strips and then connect them using these clips and everything worked perfectly.

If you are looking to install Philips Hue strip lighting, and have anywhere that you want a break in the light to extend to another location, there is nothing else that is as highly recommended as these adapters from Litcessory. I purchased them based purely on those reviews (and largely due to there being no "official" and few other unofficial options for an extension cable that was not just another light strip). There is no doubt that these work, and they are almost as simple as advertised, so if this is a project you have planned look nowhere else.I purchased these and the 10ft extension cable to allow me to run a Philip Hue Light Strip Plus underneath the longest stretch of cabinets in our kitchen. The issue that I ran into was the open section where the range sat above the cooktop. Running lights under there would have looked strange since they would have been exposed on the sides of the cabinets, and ruined the clean look I was going for. Philips Hue does not make a lightless extension, so I had to find something that would allow me to run cable inside the cabinets, over the range, and down to the next section. I found these, and they really do work.The important thing to do when installing these is to watch the videos and read the supplied instructions carefully to make sure you cut the light strips in the right way. That was a bit more fiddly than I would have though, but ultimately not that hard if you were even considering installing the under cabinet lights yourself to begin with. Be extra careful with the male-to-female adapters since they are very fiddly to put back in if you accidentally remove them. If you are careful, they are almost literally plug-and-play.Now that I've had them up a few days I've had no issues with connection or synchronization between the split strips. Everything looks as it should, and moreso maintained the clean look I wanted under the cabinets. Take your time, read the instructions, and these will give you the freedom to design the lighting you want.

We are so happy to have found these !The Philips Hue light strips are expensive and when you cut in in half, you want to use the other half. These connectors worked exactly as promised.We read the instructions and watched the videos on these before purchasing and again before installing.I was scared we would screw this up and have $60 of worthless lightstrip, but if you have basic homeowner fix-it skills, this should not be a problem at all.The tools needed: razor blade, needle nose pliers, and cutting board (so we did not mark up our counters).We used a razor blade knife instead of scissors to cut away the plastic casing and also to cut along the solder points (we did not have good scissors to use). That is a critical piece of information - that you cut where the Litcessory instructions tell you to cut and NOT where Philips asks you to cut. This way you can use both ends for connection.After cutting the light strip we used the razor blade knife to lightly lift up the metal contact points in the open Litcessory connector, slid in the light strip underneath the contact points until it stopped sliding, then closed the connector over the light strip. It did not close all the way and that is when we used our needle nose pliers to press down with more force to lock it into place. The connector has a plastic locking mechanism on the side of it.It was very helpful, that the connector can be converted to male or female connector very easily.Overall - would definitely purchase these again. What a huge, huge help it was to have these available to solve a problem that Philips should have given us a solution for !Thank you Litcessory !

“Litcessory” connectors and products are false advertising.. They are NOT compatible with Philips Hue light strips. They are way too narrow, the pins don’t match nor do the holes. Do not buy. Returning. The double sided tape is also basically worthless. Scotch tape would hold about as well.

These worked as intended. However, save yourself some frustration and clean off the terminals on the LED tape with a knife or file. There was some silicone that remained that covered one or two of the terminals and after scratching it off it worked. Out of 4 terminations only one gave me any real trouble and it was mainly because it had a sharp bend next to the termination. I tried to re-terminate, but one of the connector pins broke off. I just soldered the connection pins and it worked fine.

Litcessory only has instructions/tutorials for the V3, but nothing for the V4. With the V3 you have to remove part of the plastic and use a special tool to bend the metal pins on the connector before inserting it. If you try to do this on the V4 connector, the connection will be loose and may not work. I unfortunately wasted a 2' section of a hue strip because of this. Turns out with the V4 the process is very simple, all you do is cut the strip on the cut line. Do not remove any of the plastic. The cut strip inserts snugly into the connector and holds well once closed.I would give this product 5 stars if there were instructions and I hadn't wasted a portion of the hue strip trying to figure it out. The process is so much simpler with the V4, Litcessory why don't you have any instructions for the V4??
