FAQs

We have a detailed install video on our YouTube. You can also find the video on our website here.

Yes, our 60ft starter kit does come with everything you need to get going and is plug and play. The only accessory that some people like to add on with their initial purchase is one of our DC extension cables depending on where the outlets are that they want to use, but those extension cables can be added at any time in the future if desired and are not needed to get started.

ColorBit products are available exclusively online. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee to remove the risk of trying them out!

Absolutely! Additional ColorBit strings can be added at any time. The number of LEDs setting needs to be updated in the controller settings screen and then you are good to go. We recommend using the extension kit which contains a power supply, 30' string of lights, and an inline power connector. The individual parts are also available in our store.

Our light strings come in black, but let us know if you would like to see other colors in the future!

Our LEDs have a general life expectancy of 50,000 hours.

Each individual bulb is composed of 3 LEDs, one for each color (red, green, blue). Lux value varies on the amount of each color emitted. Our internal measurements of each color, and for all colors (white) for a single led:

  • Red: ~700
  • Green: ~1300
  • Blue: ~1900
  • White: ~3000

The measurement was taken at 3cm from the diffuser with no angle and with default color corrections removed and brightness set to MAX.

One of our controllers can manage a continuous string of any length of lights. Power is required to be injected into the string every 60ft to maintain consistent colors.

Although we don't recommend cutting and splicing as it will void the warranty, it is possible with the design. The light string is directional (data flows in only one direction along the string) but the string design does allow for cutting and splicing between any bulb for insertion of spacing wires. Care must be taken to ensure that there isn't too much of a voltage drop due to additional wire lengths. We have some user reports of good results using dolphin crimp connectors.

Our return policy is here. We have a 30-day money-back guarantee for any material returned in like-new condition!

That is a terrific question and we are so glad you asked. We just so happen to have this cool comparison to show you!

Yes, the ColorBit App can control multiple controllers for multiple strings at the same time. Each controller must be started individually.

Simply update the ColorBit App on your smart device. Make sure the controller is power on. Go into the app and click on the controller, and navigate to Info via the menu on the side. When a firmware update is available, an icon will appear next to the firmware version. Click on the icon to initiate the update. It may take several minutes for the update to download and install. Once installed, you will be able to enjoy the new features.

When multiple Extension Kits are used, make sure the number of LEDs is set up correctly in the app. The number of LEDs in the settings is all that will turn on. For example, if you have it set to 100 LEDs, only the first 100 LED lights will work, no matter how many LED lights you have strung together.

Try closing the app and then opening the app. If that does not work, unplug all power supplies and wait 30 seconds before plugging back in.

Check your wifi connection. The Controller and your phone must be connected to the same home wifi network. Ensure that you have a strong home wifi signal at the location of the Controller and your phone when using the app. A good wifi signal from your home network is required to function properly.

Some personal devices will automatically switch back to the original home wifi network too fast before the screen shows up. In that case, you can log out of your home wifi on your phone or tablet you are using for setup, connect to ColorBit wifi, complete steps 4 and 5, and then log back into your home wifi on your phone or tablet.
