The only good adjustable white/warm light strip I could find

I spent a lot of time searching Amazon to find a strip that didn't just have warm and cool white LEDs , but that he was also able to adjust the color temperature and adjust the brightness. Some had both types of LEDs but just a simple switch to switch to different LEDs at full brightness. Others were dimmable but with only one type of LED. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by this set. Provides a significant amount of light with a very small controller. The only complaint about the controls is that they have very few steps. I'm glad the steps are there, but wish they were a little more customizable. As shown in the picture I installed it in a mirror using this silicone diffuser: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product /B07YY6XNKW/ The mirror itself is quite large so it has its own mounts on the back . There was still room on the back for installing the controller and connector, leaving only the round power connector sticking out. I'll probably get a wire trace or something to hide the wire. The only downside here is that the wire is quite stiff so I couldn't bend it like a traditional ribbon cable. As you can see in the picture I only twist it at an angle because it's as tight as I could twist it. The plug at the end is also a little big. The strip itself already has 4 pin points (-CW/-WW/+12v/+12v), so I wish they would just use the more common, flatter 4-pin connector used on RGB strips, or some other solution with a lower profile. I suppose I could just cut off the connector and add my own wires, but then I'd have to modify the controller as well. I was lucky that I had enough space to hide the existing plug. In terms of reliability, so far so good. I will update this review later if something goes wrong. I think I also wish the manufacturer would just sell the controller and remote separately so I can add them to other white LED strips for less than other kits I see (about the same price as this full kit).

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Everything is fine
