Good and cheap solution

Installed last night. Nice packaging. There is an app on the App Store (iPhone, also for Google but haven't tried it yet) that can be used to adjust brightness and colors instead of using the wired remote. If you add the Alexa skill, you can control it all with your voice too, which makes sense since I don't want to get off the couch. But honestly, for the price, you can't beat it. You choose a color and all the lights change to the same color. It's a cheap device, don't ask if it has some better lighting features, like different colors in different segments, people. Don't be like that. It can also pulse to music but haven't used it because I'm not a teenager. It's a cheap device now, so who knows if it will last a year or so. It does the job. If you pay that small amount you should be fine as long as it doesn't take forever folks. a day has passed, but I am more than satisfied with the price. There were just a few minor issues; - If you remove the paper protecting the adhesive backing, you may not get any adhesive at all. It's easy to accidentally tear off the adhesive, and if so, you can use clips or tape to fix it. - Doesn't shine very bright but I only use it at 20% power so don't worry - It's a long strip of 4 elbows so you can't cut or extend the strip so check the size of your TV. It can draw USB power from your TV, but if I change the lighting settings multiple times, my Panasonic Plasma gets frustrated and says the device is drawing too much power and is disabling that port. The solution is to simply use the included power outlet. That probably depends on the TV model. Instead, I use Alexa to turn it on and off.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Long delivery time
