Review on XT AUTO 8Pcs 12V Super Bright 30Cm 15 LED Flexible Waterproof LED Strip Light For Car Interior &Amp by Eduardo Murillo

12 volt junk: parts

If you need an LED strip with a soft glow, unreliable adhesive, and ultra-thin 26ga wire that sometimes falls out of solder joints, then look no further further! They are by no means "super bright". I tested each strip before installing it and found it pretty boring. I was a little disappointed but I'm willing to live with it. Then came the installation. I prepped my surfaces (raw aluminum and powder coated) with denatured alcohol and a microfiber cloth. The ambient temperature was 80°F. Then I gently pressed each strip into place. At the third track I noticed that the first track went up. They held up a little better on raw aluminum, but not much better. I tried salvaging them with 3M double sided tape - the 3M tape stayed strong on the surfaces, but the attractor lights were still peeling off the adhesive! Then wiring. Oh, that awful, peachy-thin stranded wire that requires tweezers and a steady hand to solder. Also, a few leads came loose from the solder joints on the strips when I ran the leads. I knew $9.xx is a pretty low price and sometimes you get lucky. I wasn't so lucky this time. I would stay away from these.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Don't really like it, all great
