    I'm having an issue with my lightstrip - was working perfectly last night (and for the last year) but this morning it will not light up.
    When I plug it out and back it - the leds all flash (about 3 seconds after plugging in) -> so assuming that the individual LEDs are ok and that the power is ok. I then removed it from my setup in the hue app and searched for new lights and it found the lightstrip -> so am assuming that its able to communicate. 
    Stumped as to why it will not light up though. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

    Sorry i might not be much help but My issue last year was my lightstripe would not power up at all after using it for a year or just under. I spoke to someone at philips and the i told them that nothing was coming on...They replaced the plug part and no issues since....Perhaps best to get onto them via online support and trouble shoot with them.

    Get onto Phillips and they should replace it for you?!

    Thanks guys, yeah, I filled out the online support form with Philips earlier today. Waiting for a reply

    Is there an Irish or free phone number for their support desk?

    To follow up;

    No answer back from Philips. But - I plugged it out and back in again this morning and it's working normally again. Go figure

    I suppose I might have a loose connection or something
