Review on 🌈 16.4ft 300LEDs HJHX WS2812B Individually Addressable LED Strip - SMD5050 RGB Magic Color Flexible Rope Lights with Pure Gold Wire (Non-Waterproof) by Jonathan Arroyo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I accidentally toasted my first strip, bought another one and it worked perfectly.

The first strip I ordered was fine until I found out that the label on the 5-24V LED controller meant I could run it in that range. I gave it about 12V from a LiPo battery and fried my strip. But I bought the second band and a 12V-24V to 5V DC buck converter with 15A max and the bar worked fine. I used this LED strip and LED controller for my Halloween project which was a replica of the Deadmau5 head (with many wired modifications of the original strip). I'm still planning on adding custom animation to my LED strip using the T-1000S LED controller, but just wanted to share that it was my fault when I roasted the first LED strip and my second strip worked perfectly . The LEDs are very bright and none of my pixels were dead on arrival. It should be noted that the spacing between each LED is not always ideal as multiple strips are joined together to form a full 5M strip.

Pros
  • How does it work? You need a 5V power supply and a pixel controller, Arduino or other control systems; 5V 18A 90W power adapter to power 300 16.4ft LEDs (not included). Please do not use voltage over 6V; Otherwise the entire strip will be destroyed. Also, each LED can be cut separately without damaging the rest of the strip.
Cons
  • Functionality
