FAQs

Can I control the PC Screen Mirror Lightstrip with a mobile app?

Can I connect it to any USB-C port?

What should I do if I have a double or triple monitor setup?
The lightstrip is 2.5m/8.2ft long, so use that as a reference when designing your setup. Larger, multiple monitor setups may require more than one lightstrip.

Can I cut the Lightstrip?
Yes, you can cut the Lightstrip to customize the fit for your monitor. Make sure to cut any excess length off the loose end of the Lightstrip, and NOT the end of the Lightstrip connected to the Controller. Carefully cut along any of the trim lines, making sure NOT to cut across the LED lights themselves Note: Once cut, the cut portion of the Lightstrip cannot be reconnected, so double-check your setup and desired length before making any cuts.

Can I screen mirror content from a streaming service like Netflix?
Some streaming services—like Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video—may have copyright protection restrictions in place that block any type of screen capture, recording, or mirroring on devices. In these select cases Screen Mirroring is not possible, but outside of these services, any other content that can be displayed on your screen can be mirrored onto your lights.
