🌈 LEDENET LED Light Strip RGB+W+WW 12V 120W Full Color Cold White Warm White CCT RGB LED Tape Ribbon Lamp Waterproof IP65 16.4ft(5m) Review

I bought these to replace cheaper RGB+CCT strips that were too weak. Using a light meter, I found they were at least twice as bright. White is also a much more complete spectrum.

On a 100+ foot installation, it was sad to find bad segments in the middle of several sections. Replacing them will take a lot of time and effort. We're learning to enjoy our quarks, but be sure to test all the colors before completing the installation.

Received our order quickly - have used them in the past with good results so I expected the same with these but unfortunately there is one bad segment (three LEDs form a segment in these strips ). Red and green work in this segment, blue doesn't. Watch the attached video clip to see the broken segment.

These LEDs are the perfect addition to the HUE Bridge with Zigbee Controller. Get the same variety of colors and brightness. The only limitation is to use ribbon connectors. Once you've sized them correctly, traditional flip-up strip connectors don't work without some "wiggle". This is because one of the diodes is too close to the cut.

Good brightness on W/WW diodes. RGB diodes are not as bright and have poor color rendering when trying to dim them to 1-5% brightness. The only real problem is that there is no cool white rendering. white/warm white only. This is said to be RGBCCT which is advertised to achieve the 6500k+ white color temperature range. For me it is not critical, but it must be taken into account.

I have these to enlarge the WiZ strips but they are much better than the included WiZ strips which I only use on one project and WiZ elsewhere use. In the picture, the vertical bar on the right and the loop below are Philips WiZ, and the rest are these. The colors definitely don't match, but I like them better than the original Philips ones. You can scale them down to look like WiZ or rotate them for a brighter look. They also came with well soldered cables (18 gauge if I remember correctly).
