Review on πŸ”† Dimmable LED Under Cabinet Lighting Bar - 12 Inch WiFi Wireless Smartphone App Controlled Closet Light with Color Changing Panel Kit - Compatible with Android, iOS, and Alexa by Laura Lamb

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult to install, no way to disconnect, poor remote control, lighting ok

I needed to light the inside of a closet and wanted a color option so I tried this set. Quite a hassle to install, but it worked fine. I ended up using 4 of these bars. The little adhesive clips they give you for attaching cables to a surface don't stick very well. My pair fell off and I was careful not to touch them with anything else before applying. They include screws and clips, but I didn't want to drill dozens of holes in my closet. You connect the power, then connect the controller, then connect all the lights to the controller, using extension cords if necessary. I have 2 complaints about this product: 1. The controller (WIFI thingy) is ugly and difficult to hide. I managed to hide it behind something in the closet, but now using the remote control is very risky. In other words, the remote needs a clear shot of something ugly that most people want to hide. I admit under the counter might not be so bad as you can just lower the remote under the module and it will probably work. On the other hand I would never use or recommend this type of under cabinet lighting system as it is unnecessarily complicated and awkward to install for such a simple application. There is no way to split the signal. You need to install linearly. I would put in my last 2 rods but ended up having wires literally crossing the entire interior of the cabinet which would be an eyesore. I cut out some wooden slats to hide the headlights, but hiding so many wires is just impossible. This type of kit should include a simple splitter module that allows you to work in two different directions if needed. All in all it works well, but I find it too expensive.

Pros
  • Wall Lights
Cons
