Review on πŸŽ„ XUNATA 16.4ft LED Flexible Light Strip - Waterproof IP67, Green - DIY Christmas Home Kitchen Indoor Party Decoration by Chris Pettway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful bright lights and basically the only high density 5050/5054 out there.

I used these LED strips for a linear recessed lighting project (requiring 120 light/m2 for even lens spread) and they worked great. In fact, these are the only high-density SMD 5050 (/5054) lamps (120 lamps per meter) you can find on the market. I found 1 strip of them to be at least 3x brighter than the high density SMD 2835s. I bought the warm white version and they have a good color. not too warm and not too white (I think around 3000k if I had to guess). I used a 150w transformer to power the strips at both ends. 150 watts was probably overkill, but powering both ends certainly eliminated the loss of light at the end of the strip due to resistance (not a unique problem with these lamps). I have not found these lights to get too hot compared to others I have used. The glue on the strips isn't very good (which is common with most LED strips on the market) but I planned it and bought the right tape so it didn't really matter. If you are looking for high density 5050/5054 light bulbs, this is a great option!
