Revainrating 5 out of 5

A major improvement to my PC's gaming setup!

My best friend and I recently built what we call the "Command Center" which serves as his daily "battle station" as well as my "battle station" when I visit his house for a few days depend. This particular command center is made up of two L-shaped tables, and while it looks amazing, it lacks something; Lighting! The command center in this review refers to the PC gaming room for those who don't know. I bought two of these kits; one for his desk (which he repaid me for) and one for my desk to keep the entire command center lit. After installing it and using it for almost a week and a half, I'm ready to review it. First of all I would like to point out that they are NOT able to display colors like white, orange, yellow, purple, pink, teal, cyan etc. You can use red, green, blue, red/green, blue/green, and blue/red, as well as several different modes combining and randomizing them. This is because they use 3528 LEDs, which means the strip is made up of individual LEDs that only display one color at a time. If you want a full rainbow of color options, you'll want a model that uses 5050 LEDs, with each individual LED displaying red, green, and blue in one LED to give those other colors. big! The colors displayed are very bright, and when the lighting in the room is dim or turned off completely, they glow a little at maximum brightness. There are also different modes to choose from that add patterns to the lighting if you don't want to use a static custom color/color combination. The brightness is also fully customizable, as is the speed of the modes. Installation is pretty easy to be honest. The hardest part was lying on the floor under the table and straining my neck looking at the underside as I attached it with the included 3M tape. As for the glue, as long as it lasts, no areas will come loose and start falling off. It would be as simple as buying a roll of 3M or Scotch tape to fix if dropped. The remote also works as intended and I have no problem getting an IR beacon to register keystrokes. on the remote and there are no dead buttons. In general, my friend and I are very happy with these LED strips! If you are looking for leds for desk, desk, ceiling border etc. then I think this is definitely the right choice! Remember I noticed the difference between the 3528 and 5050 LED models.
