Review on πŸ’‘ Eve Light Strip - Apple HomeKit Smart Home LED Lights Strip, Full Color Spectrum & White, 1800 Lumens by Deborah Lewis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The extension has weak pins and poor packaging

It looks like most of the reviews are about light tape so I'll leave one for the extension. I bought some strips and more extensions for a renovation project that has been delayed due to the global pandemic. So I unpacked these things too late and missed the return deadline. Overall I like the product and would probably give it a 5 but was disappointed with how fragile the connector pins on the extension cord are and even worse how the packaging presses on them and bends them in the box. You can see in the photos of the extensions how to roll up the strip and press the connector pins in the middle against the rest of the strip. I opened up one of my extensions and found that one of the pins was completely bent to the side. I tried gently to push it into place and it just broke. Another extension had one of the pins slightly bent in the box, but I was able to salvage it. I also noticed that the connection between the extensions is very weak, I've connected 5 so far and need more (with other strips). - I know they have length restrictions.) A light push and the links fall out and the pins are so brittle that it takes surgical precision and steady hands to put them back on to keep the poor little pins from moving. A male adapter is better, not just 5 tiny pins running commands and ready to snap at the slightest touch.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
