Review on Dreamcolor SPARKE Backlight Non Waterproof WS2812B by Katie Johnson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Faulty software or bad hardware. Slowly dying over time

The light is bright and beautiful and was easy to install with the sticky backing of the LED strips. It was ok while it lasted. Unfortunately this is very buggy. I've been using it for 7 months, now in the trash. The remote control has a programming function to save 6 custom color settings. The problem I had was that it stopped overriding settings. So in the end I was stuck with the presets I had. I moved to another room with a different wall color and none of the preset colors worked. Was very disappointed because I had to change it manually all the time. At first there were no problems, but then the device began to fail. After 2 months it didn't remember the last selected color and after switching it on it became blue by default. At first once a week, now every day. Not only that, but while it was on, it started randomly changing color to the cyclic RGB setting. Because of this, I left it off most of the time. Now at the moment I have to turn it off for 30 seconds for it to turn on. I've tried multiple USB ports, so this is definitely an LED strip. Now it's practically useless. It didn't even last a year.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • unreliable
