Review on Alarmpore (TM) 16.4FT Double Row 5050 RGBWW LED Strip Rope: 5M Flexible Tape Light for Home Decoration, Holiday & Wedding Lighting by Kyle Hong

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent brightness for cabinet lighting

Bought 3 sets of RGBWW 16.4 coils. It was enough to make 4 cabinets in a row under the cabinet and above the cabinet, 65", 65", 60" and 92". Light quality and color temperature are perfectly matched to traditional fluorescent lamps. Often the LED is too weak (strips) or too bright (light). I glued the strips on the cabinet end to end, under and above the cabinets, leaving 1 inch for the wire bends. You can't tell it's an LED strip unless you see and touch it. I connected the strips at the bottom and top using a 150w 12v low profile power supply and a wireless Mi Lights LED controller and remote control, with the strips connected in parallel per cabinet from the controller. but the labeling is unnecessarily wrong and adds to diagnostic time when soldering your own wiring. The peel and stick is terrible and refuses to support sticking with the extra inner 3M double-sided tape. It's almost non-stick. When connecting my own wires, the pads had to be grounded randomly. In most cases the solder adhered well, in other cases the solder did not stay on the pad at all. A positive note: the strips are elastic. Hit one on the ground, roll it up, and stomp on it. The 92-inch strip has been folded and folded multiple times in several places. I thought the filament was broken and I was furious, but after careful straightening and bending all the LEDs worked fine. I would buy them again for my next renovation.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
