Review on Enhance Your Space with 100Ft Smart LED Strip Lights: Hedynshine's Ultra Long, Dimmable Color Changing Light Strips with 40Key Remote and Music Sync Feature! by Alfonso Alexander

Revainrating 4 out of 5

RGBWhat :-) Suitable for LED strips

For my purposes these bulbs (4x) are what I needed for the project. Using white LEDs, 4 of which are at full power, will bring my 20 foot x 15 inch living room to full working light status. By just using the white LEDs and turning them off a bit, it still lights up the entire room. If you're only using RGB, there's enough ambient light to avoid stumbling, not enough for reading. With selectable colors, it creates a beautiful ambient color and night light. The lights can be controlled with an IR remote which would be difficult to see all 4 lights at the same time but if possible all 4 will respond to the remote. with one of the remote controls. The light can be adjusted to white and a whole range of RGB colors (but not all possible) using the IR remote control. The remote can dim the light, white or RGB, sometimes stays white after plugged in. Sweet effects, fade, strobe flash, etc. can be easily started with the remote control. and speed for effects can then be adjusted using the brightness keys. All color effects, fading, strobe etc with the remote seem to be based on RGB e.g. B. white strobe is not strong white, it is a combination of RGB. The white flash can be triggered manually while playing music from the remote control. So for all functional practical operations of the remote control it is enough to operate a lightbulb when hovering over it and all headlights at once when the IR sensor at the lightbulb sees the remote control. In stabilized mode, when you unplug from the wall, the light returns to the original setting even if white light or effects are turned on. For my purposes, this is the best way to come back after a power outage or power interruption. Now we can "connect" it to a computer to be able to do "everything" it can. (Insert hair pulling icon) Bluetooth connection with light elements is NOT observed in my default BT settings, light connection cannot be diagnosed in Android Bluetooth settings. I don't see an option to connect without the software, the software says it connects with a password. With one or more lights connected via the BT software, you can combine them all into a zone or section, make sure they are all connected, then control the color and digitally sync the light to the music. Set it up for various effects, some of which aren't available via the remote control. IF there is a problem with the light not being connected, it's possible that it needs to be unplugged and then plugged back in in software, I think 1-2 times a day if there ever seems to be more over the connection that the BT problem separates. You can keep it connected and work continuously for days as long as your computing device and BT connection (e.g. distance) supported because you master it. {losing a star here, whose fault is BT, I don't take that into account} 2 ways to play music or sound for a flick, not available with the remote control (and there is no microphone in the remote control or device, software required for this) . With OWN software a music player, not a web game or TV or whatever, just a player in the software and only media available to the software, I'm guessing in this case via the Android media library. This is Bluetooth, there is a delay, the solution to the most annoying delay for me. I also play music from an Android device to speakers via bluetooth. audio delay too. The second method is to use microphone mode, speaking into the device's microphone and playing music from another source. It's fun for about 2 minutes, but the latency is terrible, I think about 1/2 second (not measurable), so I don't care about this mode. If you're having trouble with music mode, Oh You Will :-) There are 2 buttons in the software that you need to find before you give up. On the "Music" tab where the music player is located. There is an equalizer icon to the left of the controls, yes, it needs to be set correctly. At the top of the software, above the music player controls, is an OFF button. With these two buttons I can pause the music to cheer you up, you can't :-) There are other features I don't have to worry about, so I'm not the one analyzing them.
