How to Install Philips Hue Light Strips Under Kitchen Cabinets - With Blanked Out Area

[@elainemunro4621]

Thanks so much! This is the same project for my kitchen and I am replacing strip lights made in China that started strobing after less than a year of use. Looks like Philips hue are made in Mexico, so encouraging.

[@RenovationBayBee]

Yes fine are still perfect 👌

[@martyngausden9994]

I ordered all the bits apart from the extension strip…! I even rang Phillips Hue Customer Services, albeit they were nice they didn’t have a clue what I was trying to do. All ordered via your link - Thanks for posting it was really helpful 👍🏼

[@RenovationBayBee]

That's great news, glad it was helpful for you 👍

[@maw1667]

Really helped as I didn’t know how smooth the light from the strip would look under the cupboards. 👍

[@RenovationBayBee]

Glad it helped 👍

[@deadmanwalking7953]

ah your voice is so relaxing lol

[@RenovationBayBee]

Thanks!

[@michaelmills2263]

I appreciate your tip about the shadow . If not pre warned I would of likely done the same thing Thanks so much, nice video

[@RenovationBayBee]

Thank you! Glad it's helped you

[@sheld3696]

To avoid the shadow do I need to put the strip near the wall?

[@alexmeyer4567]

you have to test and see @@sheld3696. From what I understand its generally best ot keep it as close to the front of your cabinet as it will allow to protect from light spilling onto the floor.

[@Acconda]

I was looking at installing these but dont want plugs installed. I do have power supply above the cupboard. was thinking if a LED driver 24v 30w would be possible and hardwire into it.

[@RenovationBayBee]

I wouldn't know at all! Sorry!

[@emilypoggio3757]

If you want to install them because you have an existing hue system, then innr make a hardwired driver led strip that is compatible with hue (I have a mix of hue and innr bulbs on my system).

[@markp4949]

Great video but I can’t find a description box or a link to find the blank sections for the lights.

[@RenovationBayBee]

Does this help? amzn.to/401r0mj

[@kenkenny4238]

so in order to join up the cut end, did you have to buy any extra connectors? Was everything you needed in the items you stated? cut end to cut end connectors?

[@RenovationBayBee]

@kenkenny4238 the hue strip will connect itself at the cut lines. Everything else on the blanker was included in what I've linked

[@kenkenny4238]

@RenovationBayBee hi. How do you get around the 90 degree turn on your corner cabinet?

[@kenkenny4238]

Thanks by the way. You have a very similar cabinet set up to me. It took out a lot of guessing

[@LilDeku_YT]

will it look nice on black kitcehn cabinets as my parents rebuild our house

[@RenovationBayBee]

@@LilDeku_YT you can pick whatever colour light you want with these!

[@Coco-xi9hq]

Awesome! Is it possible to buy a second power unit on its own? I'd like to cut a 3m strip in half and install it in two different locations. unable to find info on this thanks!

[@RenovationBayBee]

@@Coco-xi9hq I'm not sure about that, sorry!

[@ellisbarnes4761]

I have cut one strip and want to join it to a whole strip. I can push the cut strip onto one half of the clamp thing but how do I connect that to an uncut strip?

[@RenovationBayBee]

Do both ends have to be on a cut line to go into the clamp/connector? Sorry not sure if that's what your looking for

[@ellisbarnes4761]

Do they? Ie can you not use a new one and a cut one together? Also, can you cut for another room where I want it to end not on a cut line?

[@RenovationBayBee]

@ellisbarnes4761 I can't remember off the top of my head...do this help www.litcessory.com/pages/how-to-cut-and-extend-philips-hue-lightstrips-without-soldering

[@RenovationBayBee]

@@ellisbarnes4761 you must only cut on the cut lines

[@stardriver75]

Do you need the plug or can i install it and use it with the app close it and open it ? I want to use it for my stair railing

[@RenovationBayBee]

@stardriver75 think you have to use the hue bridge or Bluetooth version. Phillips hue website should give you more details and options

[@thaitee1]

How do you control the strip lighting on/off?

[@RenovationBayBee]

Ours is all automated on timings in the app, but you can use any of the philips hue switches, voice control and app

[@DiccoWatch]

Nice video, was going to get some tubing for them but they look great as they are. How did you do the corner section of the cupboards on the left?

[@RenovationBayBee]

@@DiccoWatch thanks! I just carried on running the lights around the edging, nothing blocking the way

[@DiccoWatch]

@ ah ok, so the bend doesn’t damage or break it then. Good to know 👍🏻 thanks

[@aaronmooney504]

did you have to buy the blanking cable seperately or is that included?

[@RenovationBayBee]

@@aaronmooney504 bought separately, links in the description box 👍

[@aaronmooney504]

@@RenovationBayBee sorry i should be more observant! thank you!

[@RenovationBayBee]

@@aaronmooney504 no worries! Thanks for watching

[@NotFound-en5vx]

That cooper splash is tile? Looks awesome

[@RenovationBayBee]

Thanks! It's Metallic scalloped tiles from Fired Earth in pink 💕 wanted something different!

[@Tiznado]

Hi Bee, is your hue app recognizing your bluetooth light strips? Its not recognizing mine. Can you make a video on what you did to set it up on the app please

[@RenovationBayBee]

Yes it was fine with ours but we've got the hue bridge, these lights aren't connected by Bluetooth on ours

[@AdamAdam-ef5ud]

Hi, where did you get the black 6pin extension cable from?

[@RenovationBayBee]

@Adam Adam hi, there is a link in the description box for everything we used 👍 thank you

[@shikari7]

Your links to the Bridge and Motion Sensor are the same FYI

[@RenovationBayBee]

Thank you for letting me know, much appreciated 👍

[@keyleewheelie]

Hi! the links seem to take me to amazon's home page :(

[@RenovationBayBee]

Thanks for letting me know! All updated now for you

[@drlessismore]

Great video. So you recommend placing them 1-2” back from the front?

[@RenovationBayBee]

I've got a little pelmet around, so yes a little way back to avoid the shadow

[@gregdavis8892]

Perfect. Lovely voice

[@RenovationBayBee]

@@gregdavis8892 thanks!

[@salomonbarrera460]

Where did you buy the blanking strip?!

[@RenovationBayBee]

All the links are in the description box 👍 thanks

[@markp4949]

Also can’t find it…is it possible to post a link. Thank you in advance. I think a lot of people are having this issue.

[@stehlik]

@@markp4949 Same issue, links in description are not working. Were you able to find it? How does one remove the bulky original one from the lightstrip?

[@eb1900]

unintentional asmr

[@livinginoklahomacityofficial]

Why does no one on the internet explain how tf to use the thing. I turned it on, it's white. I download the app, it gives me "demos", and asks me if I want to connect to some other devices. Then essentially says there are no other options. Do I need something else to operate this $90 strip? This might be the most poorly explained product I've ever purchased, with seemingly no clear information available on the entire internet (except for people on youtube talking to you like you're already aware of how to use it)

[@RenovationBayBee]

Have you seen seen my blog post? Bit more information regarding how you need to connect them blog.bay-bee.co.uk/how-to-install-philips-hue-light-strips-under-kitchen-cabinets/ - you do need a hue bridge with certain models of the lights to get them to connect - this video/post is just to show how to create that blanking gap for kitchen units

[@tnikpu9688]

Yes my friend you need a bridge device

You sound like Peppa Pig 😊
