Review on Dreamcolor SPARKE Backlight Non Waterproof WS2812B by Heather Collier

Revainrating 4 out of 5

That's good, but not all colors match the colors on the remote control.

The colors on the remote don't all match the colors that appear when you click on it. For example, yellow on the remote turns the light into a light blue color. The orange color turns light into turquoise. I can't turn the light yellow or orange at all. And white isn't bright white at all, it's pale blue. The remote only seems to work via RF for 4-5 button presses (10ft away) until it stops working unless you move it closer to the USB socket (e.g. right next to it). The light is not as bright as some I've bought before. All of that needs to be said. They're fine and work for what I need them for, but I wouldn't buy them again if I need a different set. UPDATE 11-08-2017: Well, I originally gave this 3 stars, but due to the incredible customer service I received I'm going to upgrade this to 4 stars. I was contacted because my lights were the wrong color and they offered to send me a new set to see if all the colors in that set are correct. Got new headlights and tested them. However, they are exactly the same as the previous set. Some colors do not match the corresponding colors on the remote control. It is so easy. But many colors are good and these lights. The same colors that weren't displayed correctly in the original set are now displayed incorrectly. Basically, it's the leftmost colors on the remote control. Yellow on the remote control makes the light light blue; orange turns light into turquoise; I can't turn the light yellow or orange at all. But other than that the bulbs themselves are of good quality and have been on my 65 inch TV for a month now and they feel great. They seem to stick well to the back of the TV. I cleaned the back of the TV with glass cleaner prior to installation AND wore nitrile gloves during installation to prevent the tallow self-adhesive seals from failing.
