Review on Dreamcolor SPARKE Backlight Non Waterproof WS2812B by Jasmine Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Makes my mancave great

Everything is checked mechanically. The remote control has good range and is advertised as the same as it works from almost any angle. The LED strip is quite unique and designed as shown in the picture. Very easy to bend around the corners. The LEDs themselves are decently bright and come in 16 different colors. Although white is not really white. Its color is light blue. My only star comes from the fact that the colors on the remote control don't match the actual color of the LED at all. About 3 out of 16 colors are pretty close, but the rest are. long gone. So my advice is don't go crazy and expect certain colors. Be glad you got 16 of these. Can't speak to durability or longevity of the adhesive. But there is a stick somewhere and let it somehow. Make sure you clean the surface and you're done. Edit 3 years later: The two strips I originally ordered still work. Remotes don't control different lanes, so you'll need to label them so you know which control corresponds to which lane. I have now moved 2 old moldings and reattached them to my new table which hold surprisingly well and then ordered another molding to make my floating shelf I built above my table. So now 3 separate remotes that stink but I really like these lights. The remotes work from any angle and the LEDs are very bright with lots of settings. The white is a bit unusable and the simple fact that they can be removed after 3 years and stuck back onto a new surface is amazing. USB powered means you can mount them anywhere with a lithium battery. I do custom woodworking and have some crazy ideas for backlit coffee tables etc. The price is totally justified.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Minor problems
