Review on Olafus 16.4ft Dimmable White LED Strip Lights: Perfect for Bedroom Mirror, Kitchen Wardrobe & More - 300 LEDs, 6000k Cool White Daylight Brightness! by Marcus Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Connection points too far apart

I bought this diagonal lighting lamp kit for a new 75 inch TV. In the product description (photo #1) the splice points are indicated every 5 cm or 2 inches. They can only be spliced in these places (photo #2). What I discovered after I started cutting my strips was that the splice points on the set I received actually alternated repeatedly between 7.75" and 11.5". I bought 90* corner connectors (photo #3) to get nice crisp angles and they worked pretty well Note: if you use these connectors you need to respect polarity when connecting. On a test run with tape I found that the Light strips need to be placed fairly close to the edge of the TV. Bottom line, the light set I received does not match the product description. In addition, a replacement set was made in the same wide interval. I am returning the 2nd set. I contacted Revain: a customer service representative offering to buy from another seller. They are sold by Olafus and shipped via Revain. And the Olafus set is the only brand I could find with a black background stripe. So I'm downgrading this purchase to 2 stars because I didn't receive the product I ordered once, but twice. The lights are of good brightness and if you don't plan on making connections then that might be fine. But they don't work for my application.

Pros
  • DURABLE AND LONG LASTING: Flexible LED strips are made of durable components, ideal for illuminating kitchen cabinets, vanity tops, TV lighting, hallway, living room, stairs, bar, display case, bookshelf, display case, pantry, workbench, the beer sign and pretty much everywhere.
Cons
  • I won't say anything
