“Wiz Wi-Fi LED Strip Starter Kit, 13 FT (2m+2m)” and other Wiz lighting products – Costco online – $30 – $29.99

Costco has several Wiz lighting products/switches on sale right now. The best deal looks like it may be for the strip.
Typically the strip sells for $50. I saw it for sale for $40 over the holidays. Now it is down to $30.
If someone on slickdeals has purchased this, I’d love to ask you a question. I’ve searched high and low for what exactly "2m + 2m" means in this listing, but the answer does not exist online. Is it TWO 2 meter starting packing, including 2 separate power supplies? Or is it one starter pack/power supply + 2 1m extensions? If the answer is the former, this is an even better deal, although I expect it’s the latter.
The cost of a 2m starter kit at other retailers is $40 and a 1m extension is $13. So the savings compared to other retailers is either 40+40-30=$50 (if kit is 2 full starter kits) or 40+13×2-30=$36 (if it is 1 starter kit + extensions.
WiZ is made by Philips, the same company that makes Hue (and Lumileds, one of the biggest LED manufacturers in the US). The brightness of these strips is equivalent to that of Philips Hue (1600 lumens/2 meters). WiZ only works via WiFi while Hue only works via a ZigBee hub. The software on WiZ is not as great as Hue, but it gets the job done. You will hear varied opinions on color quality. Some say it’s the exact same as Hue, some say it’s worse. But it is certainly better than the colors of the 10,000 random LED strip brands you’ll find on Amazon and the like.
