Source: web.archive.org (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by macrumors.com. The archived LIFX US "Z LED Strip - Product Specifications" page (manufacturer) states the core electricals verbatim: colour temperature "2500K to 9000K", "17 Watts per 2 meters", "700 lumens per strip up to a maximum of 2800 lumens per power supply", Wi-Fi "802.11b,g,n" (no hub), and AC 100-240V mains input. The MacRumors review (dated Nov 16, 2018) confirms this exact model — "the LIFX Z, a $90 light strip", "6.6 feet" / "1400 lumens per two meters", "8 zones per strip, for a total of 16 zones", "connect directly to WiFi and thus don't require a bridge", and an in-app "Music Visualizer option that listens to ambient sound" — and gives the price "$89.99". Model identity and the RGB+W (dedicated white) basis for the rgbwic classification were cross-checked against the Amazon "LIFX Z LED Strip Starter Kit" listing (17 watts, Wi-Fi, "8 individually Addressable Color/white zones", "warm to cool whites") and Home Depot's "Multi-Color RGB+W" naming for the LIFX Z family.
