Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite is available at Mascom International for KSh 6,500, brand new and sealed, with Full HD 1080p streaming, a quad-core 1.7GHz processor, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and the Alexa Voice Remote Lite. The Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite plugs straight into any TV with an HDMI port and runs Amazon's Fire OS, giving you a home screen of streaming apps on a set that never had one. It supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG for richer contrast on compatible screens. Pick one up at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for households across Kenya that own a working older TV and see no reason to replace it, the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite brings Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Showmax to that screen. Students sharing hostels near Kenyatta University and JKUAT, young families in rented flats and guesthouse owners furnishing rooms all use it the same way. The problem is a TV stuck on free-to-air channels. The fix is a stick that pulls content from your home Wi-Fi, whether that runs on Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba or Airtel 5G home internet, with our staff helping set up the apps.
Plenty of Nairobi electronics shops hand over the box and leave setup to you; Mascom International sells the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite with a 12-month warranty and walks you through account setup at the counter. One honest note: the Alexa Voice Remote Lite has no TV power or volume buttons, so you keep your TV's own remote for those. Customers across Nairobi tell us the stick replaced a decoder package they rarely watched.

Common Questions About the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite
How much is the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite in Kenya?
The Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite costs KSh 6,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price covers the stick, the Alexa Voice Remote Lite, the USB cable and power adapter, an HDMI extender and two AAA batteries, plus a 12-month warranty. You pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya. For context, the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD sells here for KSh 6,200 and the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for KSh 6,700, so all three sit within KSh 500 of each other.
Does the Alexa Voice Remote Lite control TV volume and power?
No, the Alexa Voice Remote Lite that ships with the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite has no TV power or volume buttons. You use it to move through menus, play and pause shows, and speak voice searches through Alexa. To switch the TV on or turn the sound up, you still reach for the TV's own remote. If juggling two remotes bothers you, the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD at KSh 6,200 comes with the standard Alexa Voice Remote, which adds those buttons.
Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite, HD, 4K or 4K Max: which should you buy at Mascom International?
For a Full HD TV, the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD at KSh 6,200 is better value than the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite at KSh 6,500, because its remote adds TV power and volume buttons and its Bluetooth is newer. Choose the Lite if the HD is sold out or you prefer a simpler remote. On a 4K TV, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K at KSh 6,700 adds Dolby Vision, Wi-Fi 6 and 2GB of RAM. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max at KSh 8,500 suits heavy app users.
Can the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite turn an old non-smart TV into a smart TV?
Yes, the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite turns any older TV with an HDMI port into a smart TV with streaming apps and voice search. Plug the stick into the HDMI port, connect the power adapter to a wall socket, and switch the TV input to that HDMI channel. The HDMI extender in the box helps when the port sits close to a wall or another cable. Old tube TVs lack HDMI entirely, so check the back of your TV before ordering.
Which Kenyan home internet services work with the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite?
The Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite works with any home Wi-Fi, including Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba and Airtel 5G home internet. An entry-level fibre package handles Full HD streaming on one screen. The stick connects on dual-band Wi-Fi 5, so joining the 5GHz band near the router gives a steadier picture. A phone hotspot also works, but it burns through data bundles fast, so a fixed home line is the practical choice for nightly viewing.
Can I watch Netflix, Showmax and YouTube on the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite in Kenya?
Yes, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Showmax are the apps most of our customers use on the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite. Which apps appear in the Amazon Appstore depends on the region of the Amazon account you sign in with, so Mascom International staff help you set up the account and apps at the counter. Each paid service needs its own subscription; Showmax, for example, accepts M-Pesa. YouTube plays free with adverts, so the stick is useful from day one.
Does the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite support HDR and Dolby Atmos?
The Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG, but it does not support Dolby Atmos. HDR, short for high dynamic range, shows brighter highlights and deeper shadows when both the TV and the show carry it. HLG is the HDR format some broadcasters use for live events. For sound, the stick passes Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus through HDMI to your TV or soundbar. If you own an Atmos soundbar, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K passes Atmos through.
Who should buy the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite if you have a Full HD or HD-ready TV, home Wi-Fi, and no objection to keeping the TV remote for power and volume. Skip it if you own a 4K TV; the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K at KSh 6,700 makes full use of that screen. Also skip it if you want one remote for everything, since the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD covers that for KSh 300 less. Households that install many apps fit the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max better.
Technical Specifications
Video and Audio Output
- Full HD 1080p streaming resolution — sharp, detailed pictures on the HD-ready and Full HD TVs found in many sitting rooms.
- HDR10 and HDR10+ support — brighter highlights and deeper shadows on TVs and programmes that carry these HDR formats.
- HLG support — displays the hybrid log-gamma HDR format that some broadcasters use for live sport and events.

Processor and Graphics
- Quad-core 1.7GHz processor — four processing cores share the work of menus, apps and video playback on Fire OS.
- IMG GE8300 graphics processor — draws the home screen, app rows and menus so scrolling stays responsive day to day.
- H.265 video decoding — this efficient compression format keeps picture quality high while using less internet data per hour.
- H.264 video decoding — the most widely used video format, covering older streaming content and many video files.
- VP9 video decoding — the format YouTube relies on, so YouTube videos play back cleanly in Full HD.
Streaming Apps and Platform
- Fire OS operating system — Amazon's TV software groups your apps, recently watched shows and suggestions on one home screen.
- Amazon Appstore access — download Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Showmax and other apps, subject to your account region.
- Region-dependent app catalogue — Mascom International staff set up your account with you so the apps you want appear.
- No monthly fee for the stick — after purchase you pay only for the streaming subscriptions you choose to keep.
- Software updates over Wi-Fi — the stick downloads Fire OS updates itself, adding fixes without a trip back to the shop.
Alexa Voice Remote Lite
- Alexa voice search — hold the microphone button and say a show or actor name instead of typing letter by letter.
- No TV power or volume buttons — keep your TV's original remote for switching on and adjusting the sound.
- Playback buttons — play, pause, rewind and fast-forward keys handle everyday viewing without opening extra menus.
- Voice control for supported devices — check the weather, dim compatible lights or view supported live camera feeds by voice.
- Two AAA batteries included in the box — replacements are cheap and easy to find at supermarkets across Kenya.
Connectivity and Setup
- Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) — connects on the 2.4GHz or the faster 5GHz band of your home router.
- Bluetooth 5.0 — pairs wireless headphones for late-night viewing without waking others in the house.
- HDMI output — plugs directly into any TV with an HDMI port, including older non-smart sets in bedrooms and offices.
- Micro-USB power port — used for power only, so the stick runs from the included adapter at the wall socket.
- Guided on-screen setup — choose a language, join Wi-Fi and sign in to an Amazon account in a few short steps.
Size, Power and Inclusions
- Measures 85.86 x 29.98 x 12.57 mm — small enough to tuck out of sight behind a wall-mounted TV.
- Weighs 30 grams — light enough to hang from the TV's HDMI port without putting strain on the connector.
- HDMI extender included — gives the stick room when the HDMI port is crowded by other cables or a wall bracket.
- USB cable and power adapter included — plug into a wall socket for a stable supply rather than the TV's USB port.
- Quick Start Guide included — walks first-time users through connecting, powering up and pairing the remote.
