Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good LED strips - love the length

Remote Control for Bedroom Kitchen DIY Home Decoration (4 x 16.4ft) "Sold by NIGHTSPARKLE. The package includes a remote control, power supply in the form of a power adapter ( 12 V DC, 5 A), 4 coils of LED strips, IR controller, IR remote control (with 4 feet to connect 4 strips), connection material and a small brochure The backlight of the strip can be adjusted to a beautiful color palette. When choosing a color or pattern, the same color and pattern will run through all 4 lanes.These LEDs are NOT individually addressable.If you want features like light embossing,or want each LED to be a different color than its neighbors,you need to get one Check out another LED strip style (look for DREAMCOLOR or "Chasing LEDs" in the descriptions. ).The lights are NOT WEATHER or WATERPROOF. These lights are nd designed for indoor use, as the LED diodes are simply attached and are exposed to the environment without protection on the carrier tape. Behind the TV, under interior cabinets and crown molding and accent lights for the room, or under the bed would be a great place to place them. The adhesive on the strip seems "barely strong enough" to hold it in place. So if you are going to install it for a longer period of time I would suggest adding or replacing the adhesive that comes with the strips or using some sort of mounting hardware or dedicated LED strip mounting channels. If you want to reinforce the adhesive, 3M makes excellent tapes for this purpose. The tape itself is a flexible circuit board to which diodes and other surface mount components are attached. The LEDs are 50mm x 50mm and each LED holder contains individual red, green or blue diodes in one physical package. While this configuration produces excellent colors for the three primary colors, the combination of colors (like orange, yellow, or white) isn't as pure as one would expect, but is still quite good overall. The strips are cut about every 6.5 inches so you can trim the length of the strip to your desired length. Each section has 3 LED blocks, which equals 3 red, 3 green and 3 blue LEDs per strip. There are no additional "white" LEDs (cold or warm) on this band. If you decide to cut and splice, make sure you have 4-wire LED strip connectors. It is possible to purchase additional connection hardware to join the cut lengths together, but I would suggest leaving the overall length of a powered length the same as the factory supplied length unless you can use more +12v- Designing supplies As "standard output" a 12V 1.25A power supply should power 1 leg with 5m long LEDs. The remote control is infrared - you need to point the remote control at the IR LED coming out of the controller. If you do not have line of sight between the remote and the controller, you will not be able to control the lights. If you want one to be able to control with RF signals, look for a replacement controller that supports RF operation. This controller does NOT respond to MUSIC/SOUND. The power pack is sufficient to power the four supplied rolls of LED strips. Lighting with no visible problems. The power cord from the wall to the PSU is a little short (about 18 inches), and the length from the PSU to the plug was about 3 feet - as is typically expected for a 12V 5A PSU. It's 2 pins, which is typical of US electricity, and this version didn't have interchangeable power plugs in case you wanted to install it in the UK, France, etc. So these strips work as listed so there are no problems. . Just make sure they give you the quality of light you need and only use them in a moderately humid room.
