These are a great deal. Very good quality. Dimming range was extensive. Max was quite bright. Adhesive is VERY strong. We put the lights up outside for Halloween. It adhered to brick and old limestone and old painted wood without any prep work, and the lights weren’t going anywhere! In fact, we are still brainstorming ideas for how to remove them. Unfortunately, it rained the next day and the lights stopped working. They didn’t make it to Halloween. But for most indoor uses, these lights would be perfect.

I connected this to a Sonoff switch, which if operated via my Alexa. Sonoff Wifi Switch Wireless Remote Control Electrical for Household Appliances, Compatible with Alexa DIY Your Home Via iPhone Android App (Sonoff Dlu) The light is very bright. I installed it in my kitchen as under counter light - it is very good. The Sonoff is a binary - it is either on or off, there are other switches available to give you brightness control - and you don't have to use any wifi connector! You can simply plug it in, and unplug when done. This is excellent under counter lighting, and I will also be using it to light some of the closets around the house, and some of my garage shelving. The white is much brighter than the white option on a color roll. The light as a sticky back to it which will stick to almost anything. Making installation a breeze. For the price, this is amazing, and so many options. Using an Arduino I am making one for the bathroom that will come on when it senses movement, then switch off after 10 minutes. The lights will go under the vanity, and will light the bathroom enough for a 3 AM visit, without leaving you blinded by the lights! You can cut the tape at any point. You can then use jumpers to place the next run around a corner or over a gap. With basic skills, you can extend those wires as long as you want them. You can also start another run with a 12v adaptor. Again, some basic electrical skills needed for that.

They are very bright, LEDs are close together and the adhesive stuck tightly.

I used this to augment lighting in a closet. I had installed one of those California Closet type systems, one sold by Lowes. Looks really nice, dark wood shelves and drawers, brushed metal rods, etc. But it was a little dark in some of the corners, you couldn't see what color and pattern some of the clothes were. Each clothing rod has a nice, wooden shelf above it. So I mounted these LED strips under each shelf, pointed right above each rod, for its entire length. Now the clothes are lit up perfectly. Makes a dramatic difference for closet usability. In one place, there was no shelf above the rod, so I stuck the strip directly to the metal rod itself, along the bottom, so as the hangers slide on the rod, they don't touch the strip. The LED's lights up the clothes below perfectly. So these lights can be mounted to something metal, without shorting them out. I mounted a new outlet to the closet wall, wired to the closet ceiling light. So the outlet is dead until you turn on the closet light switch. I plugged the LED strip power supply into this outlet, so the LED's turn on and off with the closet light switch. It takes a split second for the LED's to light, just how the electronics work, so there is a small delay between when ceiling light is on and LED's is on. The kit was easy enough to setup, although I have electronics and electrical experience. Some things to note: While you can cut the strips to length at set intervals that are marked right on the strips themselves (every third LED), you have to be careful to mount the strip in the same direction it was before you cut it. In other words, ABCDE<cut here>FGHIJK..., when you go to stick the strip that is represented by F-K, make sure the side that is F still points to the side on the other strip where E is (be careful not to flip it around so K and E join, otherwise it won't light, as polarity will be reversed. If you do this by mistake, the LED's will still work once you correct your mistake, jut don't leave them plugged in reversed for a long time, that might burn them out). Note these letters aren't on the strips themselves, just an illustration I made up to explain things. Each LED is mounted to the next on the strip in parallel (electronics term). What this means is, you can connect cut sections of strip in 'series', OR in 'parallel', and the LED's themselves will still be in parallel. In other words, my power supply was in center of closet, and I wanted LED strips to go left and right from there. So I just cut the power supply cord, and spliced in a pair of the red/back wire splice connectors to the power supply leads, so one connector went to the strips to the left, the other to strips to the right. So I wired those strips in 'parallel' to each other and all still worked. I then had to cut each strip, the one on left, and the one on right, and splice in a section of wire (using the same red/black wire splice kits also sold here on Amazon). So when I joined one strip for one closet rod to the next strip for the next rod, these strips were wired in 'series', but again, the LED's themselves are still in parallel, so still light up properly. I used plastic stick on wire conduits from Lowes to hide the wires which connect one strip to the next. This worked well, and gave a more professional finished look. The glue on these strips is very good. Sticks really well. However I made a mistake at one point, and had to remove and restick on strip, and it wasn't a problem at all. I was able to remove it, and remount it, and it still seems just as solidly stuck as the rest of them.Great stuff! The connectors themselves, that you use to join strips where you cut them, are a bit fiddly. Small, detail work, where if you don't get it just right it doesn't make a connection and the lights don't work. You also will want to make sure there is a good strain relief so the wires don't get accidentally pulled out. I used tie wraps to secure these wire connectors to the surface the strips were stuck to. In other places I used an insulated staple, the kind to secure wires in place. But these options may not be available depending on your application. Be sure to devise some means to secure the connectors at each splice, or the lights will be a constant maintenance issue each time something bumps the connector.

La bande LED est très simple à installer. Avec le gradateur d’intensité, c’est pratique. Quant à l’éclairage, bonne luminosité de même qu’une teinte similaire à la lumière du jour, tel que décrit. Installé sous une vanité de salle de bain.

Super, j'adore

Decided to use LED strips as lighting in my small livingroom and decided to try these LE LED Strip Lights, 16.4ft 12V Dimmable Strip Lights, 6000K Daylight White, 300 Units 2835SMD LED Tape Light for Home, Non Waterproof, Power Adapter Included found here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00MHLIFO8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This was a little of a test as I never really player around with LEDs very much, I bought 2 while they were on sale, both little boxes came in one amazon box without wrap or anything, both work fine all LED are good. I am thinking of getting a channel with diffusing cover to put along the ceiling and these strips inside them, it should work fine since they are so bright. I got this white only dimmable strip as it mainly to replace lamps since there is no native ceiling lights in this livingroom. For now I just stuck the LED strip right to the stucco ceiling and they are holding on just fine though I did add a piece of packing tape (wide scotch tape for packages) to hold the dimmer in place in the corner which takes weight off the sticky strip behind the led strip. For the sticky strip while it sticky enough if you are not careful when peeling back the back paper you can actually pull the sticky right off the strip, it was fairly easy to tap push it back in place. That's why I gave the adhesion 3 stars for this issue I had. That said if you stick it to a plain flat wall it should stick really well and you could most likely lose some paint when pulling them off. For my stucco ceiling however is was pretty good! I included a small video to show how bright these are, looking forward to next year when I repaint the whole apartment as I will more than likely add in some LED strips here in there as pure white lighting and RGB music reactive one's in some places. These btw should work well with led channels as they are so bright! Will update if I have issues but if these last say one or two years I will be very happy considering that these in the video is only one roll of 16.4 ft and cost under 20$ CAD. Channels like this should work fairly well: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B072MGVK9F/?coliid=I2PGLJA1HW4YMS&colid=1QRZZHRWEM46D&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it The power supply wire and more importantly the dimmer wire should be longer. For a nice set up you ideally want more reach for the dimmer so you can control better where the leds themselves start, would have been nicer if the led were only along the ceiling instead of coming down the corner like you see in the video but that not possible as is due the the dimmer wire being so short. btw there was no remote control with these ones.

These lights were exactly what I needed. They were quick to install, and I love that they use a dial instead of a tiny remote—those never seem to work right for me. The brightness is super easy to adjust and the daylight white color is perfect—not too yellow or too blue. I paired it with a wireless outlet remote so I can turn the lights on and off without reaching for the dial. It’s a great setup for my trailer bedroom, where the ceiling lights are too harsh at night. These create a much nicer vibe, and I actually enjoy hanging out in the room now.

I received the lights yesterday and had them installed in minutes. Very nice quality. I don't think I will need the included mechanical fasteners - the glue on the back works really well. Every LED lights up - no dead spots. If you want to, the cut lines are highly visible, so trimming off a bit presents no problem at all. The kit come complete with an AC power adapter, a good length of cord, an in-line off/on and dimmer switch in one, and the attached plug end attached onto the LED strip. If you wanted to, you could just by-pass the off/on/dimmer switch and just plug the LED strip straight into the power supply. The LED's would the light up to their max and stay on until you removed the power adapter from the wall. Or, if the outlet was switched, you could just turn off the power. The LED's measure at 5750K, and would require a Colour Compensating filter pack of 25 Magenta to negate the green present in the lights, but honestly, I can't detect the green. They look very "white" to my eye - and I have them in a white, tiled room. Overall, I am impressed with the quality of the product, and with the quality of the light emitted. I would purchase this product again without hesitation. And I intend to...!
