Review on ALITOVE WS2815 LED Strip Light 12V WS2813 WS2812B Individually Addressable RGB LED Pixel Strip 16.4Ft 300 LEDs Programmable Digital LED Light Non-Waterproof White PCB For Decor Lighting Project by Ricky Pee

It's pretty tough to find a WS2812 LED strip (and compatible flavors) that accepts 12v, so it's a good thing that this one hits the mark where it matters. I needed 12v to run relatively long strips (10m at 30 LEDs/m), and I'm happy to say that to my eye, I cannot see any decrease in brightness or color accuracy at that length. This is compared to 5v strips of the same density, where they seem to be unable to reach 5m before suffering from voltage drop side effects.A few things to note:* As a reminder, there is no adhesive. The strip is 10mm wide though, and there are plenty of appropriately sized mounting tape products out there that should work* As some other reviewers have mentioned, the LEDs can heat up. This shouldn't be a problem as long as they are not bunched up together (although keep in mind that I'm using the lower density variant at 30 LEDs/m)* It will accept 3.3v for the signal input. I'm controlling my strip with a Raspberry Pi, and it appears to work with no issues. Just make sure to create a common ground to avoid flickering* There is fairly significant passive power consumption. 13.3m of these LEDs (or about 400 LEDs total) will consume about 8 to 10 watts even while "off". To avoid this problem, I've used a relay to control power input* A random few LEDs can blink momentarily when you initially feed the strip power. This will likely be unimportant to most, but I thought I'd bring it up for those that plan on using a relay to constantly turn it on and off* Quality control appears to be good. I've ordered 3 of these strips and have had experienced no defects so far (no dead LEDs, no misaligned components, the strip is completely straight and aligned through multiple segments, etc)I've been using these strips for accent lighting for about a month now, and so far have not run into any burn out issues. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with these strips. They can be fairly costly, but they get the job done. Props!
