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, Flux 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.
This mainly applies to cables plugged directly into the control box. It is not as much of a problem when you are using cables to connect different sections of light strips together.
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.
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
1. 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.2. Where appropriate for you, cut the lightstrip directly across the cut line.
3. Make sure the snap connector is on its back, with the curved side face down.
4. Open the small clip (with the small led symbol).
5. Push the upside-down lightstrip onto the connector, being careful to make sure the pins do not go under the contacts on the lightstrip. Most of the time, this will go on without issues. Occasionally, they may need reseating.
6. Close the clip with a firm snap.
Unlike 6-pin lightstrips, 4-pin lightstrips will only work in one direction. This can easily be identified by the larger black chip. The larger black chip sits towards the back end of the cut section. The start end of the lightstrip doesn't have this chip. You cannot connect 2 starts or 2 ends together.
Typically, when you're plugging the small connector (as a female connector, with the four male-to-male pins removed) into a control box, the chip on the lightstrip should be furthest away from the snap connector. When you're plugging the small connector (as a male connector) into the white cable attached to the start of the lightstrip, the chip should be closest to the snap connector.
7. Plug the other end of the cable into the Control Box. If you are using this in a male configuration, you can plug this into the connector on the white cable attached to the start of the LightStrip.Typically, when you're plugging the small connector (as a female connector, with the four male-to-male pins removed) into a control box, the chip on the lightstrip should be furthest away from the snap connector. When you're plugging the small connector (as a male connector) into the white cable attached to the start of the lightstrip, the chip should be closest to the snap connector.
8. When your setup is complete, plug the LightStrip back in. At this point, the Lightstrip will calibrate, and you should see the connected sections light up. If a section doesn't work, the snap-on connector may need reseating. Before doing that please power off at the wall. Once it's all done, sit back and bask in the light.
