Learn how to assemble and use the Perifo Straight Ceiling Base Kit with one compact gradient light tube, including mounting, connecting, and smart control tips.
Quick answer
To use the Perifo Straight Ceiling Base Kit with one light tube compact, mount the rail securely, connect the PSU and light tube with the provided connectors, then pair it with the Philips Hue app for control.
Why choose a single compact light tube?
The Perifo Straight Ceiling Base Kit with one compact gradient light tube is ideal for narrow spaces, corridors, or accent lighting where a full-length track would be overkill. The compact tube provides focused illumination while the 59.1-inch rail gives you flexibility in placement.
Because the kit includes a PSU that sits at the end of one rail, you don't need to hide a separate power supply. This makes installation cleaner and more straightforward compared to kits with multiple pendants.
What's in the box and what you need
The kit includes one compact gradient light tube, a 59.1-inch rail, a PSU, and connectors to create a straight line. You'll need a standard screwdriver, a drill (if mounting to concrete), and a Philips Hue Bridge (sold separately) for full smart control.
Note: The kit does not include a Hue Bridge. If you don't have one, you can still use the light with the Hue Bluetooth app, but you'll miss out on automations and away-from-home control.
Step-by-step setup
- Plan the placement and turn off power: Decide where the rail will go, ensuring it's parallel to the ceiling and at least 6 inches from walls. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker to avoid electrical hazards. Double-check that the power is off before handling any wiring.
- Mount the rail to the ceiling: Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the 59.1-inch rail. If mounting to drywall, use anchors. Ensure the rail is level and firmly attached. A level rail prevents the light tube from looking crooked and ensures even light distribution.
- Attach the PSU and light tube: Connect the PSU to the end of the rail, then slide the compact gradient light tube into the rail's connector. Make sure it clicks into place securely. Listen for a click to confirm the tube is locked in; a loose connection can cause flickering.
- Connect to power and turn on: Plug the PSU into a power outlet (or wire it to a junction box if required by local codes). Turn the power back on and test the light. If the light doesn't turn on, check the PSU connection and ensure the tube is fully seated.
- Pair with the Philips Hue app: Open the Hue app, add the new light, and assign it to a room. You can then adjust brightness, color, and create scenes. For automations and remote control, make sure your Hue Bridge is connected and the light is linked to it.
