Review on Alarmpore (TM) 16.4FT Double Row 5050 RGBWW LED Strip Rope: 5M Flexible Tape Light for Home Decoration, Holiday & Wedding Lighting by Eric Smithlin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Stable, well made, but not for ceilings or other areas where adhesion is important.

This band is not as bright as I expected. But it's well built and has good connectors at each end. Unfortunately, the "3M" tape is really the "M" brand, not 3M, and has virtually no adhesion. Which is a problem considering the attachment to the ceiling. This isn't my first rodeo. We pre-cleaned the surface with alcohol and let it dry to make sure the stickiness is good. But the tape is just awful. We'll probably have to pull the strips back and replace the tape with 3M VHB or something similar. Which is very impractical.
