Review on 🌈 ALITOVE 16.4ft WS2812B Individually Addressable LED Strip Light 5050 RGB SMD 150 Pixels - Waterproof IP67 - 2-Pack by Jared Bradford

Ordered only 2 pieces in Alitovo. I was so excited to put together my circuit for these two, only to find that one of the strips only had about 20 working LEDs. I'm sending them back for a refund, but unfortunately I think that says a little bit about the quality. In addition, only defective lights with brackets and a socket were available. there were not even workers. You definitely feel ripped off. Maybe try another band from Alitove just to stay consistent with this little project. I'll update when I get a better one. (See pics. Same circuit, same knob settings, different strips are changed. I'm turning it on for the first time; there is no fault on my part. The voltage is at a good level of 4.99 and I have a 6, 3V 1000uF capacitor in parallel to avoid over voltage as well as delayed fuse.Definitely recommend a 5V 40A transformer to power them, especially if you have 2-3 with with the device turned on.) However, the ribbon works great so far. I buy a lot of non-targeted strips, but this was my first set of targeted strips. Was a little surprised to see no voltage drop over 5m of rope. The color balance is right. Not sure I can recommend it having received a defective item (50% chance depending on how it looks) but I was able to return it. I really wish I could just return it and have another one shipped to me rather than going through the whole return process but whatever.
