Review on Dreamcolor SPARKE Backlight Non Waterproof WS2812B by Tony Pearson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Had a poor RF unit but customer service was good

The light bar was easy to install on my 65 inch Sony TV. The backlight and mode work as soon as I plug it in. Pros: - Lights up! - Fits well - Good color. Cons: - RF remote does not work. So my guess is that it's flaky at best and dead at worst. Lights/colors are not as bright and vivid as certain colors are sometimes hard to see. . You can't change the colors, mode or anything else without the remote control, so be careful. EDIT: The seller contacted me immediately about the faulty RF remote and gave me some troubleshooting tips that I tried. When that didn't work they immediately sent me another device which they hope will not have this problem. I have to say that the second block worked well. The RF remote works after I put the battery in and seems to work after a few days so fingers crossed. My Sony Smart TV is having some strange power issues when I try to keep the light bar on and try to turn it off with the TV. Apparently it doesn't work with this TV so I just turn it off. It's a minor annoyance I can live with and can't blame the light bar. I still think some colors aren't as bright as they could be and I may not have been able to clean the TV and put the strip on. right but the strip keeps falling off so I just use tape and it's ok. :-/ So I am returning one star for the well working RF remote and adding another star for the good customer service.

Pros
