Review on 16.4ft WS2812B Individually Addressable LED Strip Light 5050 RGB SMD 300 Pixels Dream Color 🌈 Waterproof IP67 Black PCB 5V DC – Waterproof 16.4ft LED Strip with 300 LEDs on Black PCB by Charlie Powell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

With a little quality assurance at the factory, that would have been 5 stars.

I received (2) of these WS2812B LED strips and when I connected the first one to the power supply with the supplied 3 wire cable I shorted the strip out to that the cable was connected the other way around at the factory. The connection to the LED strip was correct, but the power/data switch had power on the white wire and ground on the red wire. This was the case with both packs, but I caught it before I blasted the second strip. CHECK THE WIRING TO THE LAMPS BEFORE SWITCHING ON. Don't just look at the colors of the wires. I returned them and CHINLY did a great job replacing them. I've since fixed the wiring issue and tested both strips with animation and both work fine. Now to install them on my daughter's bed!

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
