Simple, super bright, highly recommended.

I wanted year-round coverage. I cleaned the vinyl curtain rods three times. (Rinse with water/clean with degreaser and rinse/wipe with ammonia based cleaner) No sign of adhesive failure after 2 weeks, it holds perfectly. You can definitely install them with one person, but having someone hold the wheel and one end of the tape will make the process easier. So many opportunities to use all year round. My neighbors spent more money renting jigs to put in and take out, they need nails and only have a few pattern options. It would be ideal if they had some sort of Wi-Fi hub as you only get Bluetooth and need to be about 30ft or closer to the external modules to control them. The remotes work well but like me it needed 100 feet so it took me 3 sets. The remote controls only control 1 at a time and do not offer multiple control of one. They work fine, but you must use all three. Can't recommend enough. All-season weather protection and a profile so low you can't see them until they're on. I had no issues with the app or the backlight. (After a firmware update, your timers will be erased, so if you're prompted to update, be prepared to reset all your settings.) (I think you should keep them under a canopy so they're not in direct sunlight. I don't know if they turn yellow (if directly exposed to the light, but almost everyone does. However, I think it's best to keep them under the edges, but centered under the cornice, for best performance.)

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
