Today Sonoff released a cheaper version of their L1 LED light strip: the L1 Lite. They say it is mainly to meet the wishes of their customers to come with a more affordable LED light strip.
Differences between the L1 and the L1 Lite
There are some important differences between de L1 and the L1 Lite which are summarized in below table:
L1 | L1 Lite | |
---|---|---|
Waterproof LED light strip | yes | no |
Default included length LED light strip | 2 or 5 meters | 5 meters |
Can be extended | yes, up to 10 meters total | not recommended |
The L1 Lite lacks the waterproof coating on the LED light strip itself. Also it doesn’t support the amplifier to extend the LED light strip. Just extending it without power injection could lead to unexpected colors / brightness at a part of the LED light strips. We are sure some people with the right technical knowledge will be easely able to extend the LED light strip of the L1 Lite. ? Sonoff themselves recommend you to use the grouping feature of the eWeLink to let more L1 Lite’s together works as 1 devices in the app.
Both devices are now listed at out Device lists:
