Works as advertised

I received these just a few days ago for my new home office I am building. They work as advertised. While the installation process was a little confusing, the included instructions and QR code to ensure I installed the correct app and set up the Revain Echo/Alexa wasn't a very difficult process. The backlight has an adjustable brightness, but when it's fully on it shines quite brightly. It lacks some of the features of the pricier (IE 2x or x3 so expensive) options, but for the money and length you get, it is Great value for money with the included Wi-Fi box for smart home connectivity. The only downside I think right now is that the supplied adhesive doesn't always bond well to all surfaces and can pose a problem. This attaches easily with some clear tape or the included staples and screws if you're using it as a more permanent solution. It also includes additional small cables for connecting into separate sections (although with no functionality unless additional power supplies/Wi-Fi are purchased) or simply to extend the distance with some spacing. All in all a good product for the price. The review will be updated if long-term reliability or functionality suffers. Pros: Bright lighting Easy to install Great value for money Low cost Additional hardware/cables included Works as advertised Cons: Included adhesive is insufficient for some applications

Pros
  • Fog-proof: Cannot be placed in an environment with water droplets for a long time, and remember that the controller and power adapter should not be immersed in water. 16 million different colors. The flexible RGB LED strip can be cut into every 3 LEDs. Come and find some DIY fun!
