Review on ALITOVE Individually Addressable Flexible Waterproof by Richard Cheng

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product best in New Lighting

I made a suit out of this. They worked well and seem pretty solid. However, there are several nuances when working with them. 1. The weatherproof case is too smooth to be hot glued anywhere. The glue will just fall off as it cools.2. Keep in mind what is the maximum power each light source can use (60mA). This allows the entire strip of lights to draw up to 18A!3 with full bright white light. Don't expect to use the entire roll at once as the product image suggests. With a 5V power supply as specified, the resistance of the strip causes the voltage to drop towards the end and a color change as a result. Even with power from both ends, the same thing happens in the middle.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Reliability
