Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lighting settings change unintentionally.

Bought two of these LED light kits to hang over our kitchen cabinets, center out. While the lighting effect is nice, one of the strings changes mood on its own. It will work for several hours, then let's see and it will either dim or not burn at all in one of the flash modes. I'm not sure what's causing this unless it's some sort of interference on the frequency the remote is operating on. One string of lights does this more than the other; but it's annoying. Even with two remote controls, they sometimes interfere with each other. They need to be designed with better frequency or digital isolation. UPDATE: The seller promptly shipped a new remote transmitter and receiver after a set completely failed. The new set worked so I've upped my rating from 3 stars to 4. However, the manufacturer/designer of the product needs to improve the RF isolation to allow two of these devices to be placed side by side and the remote controls to still work. them independent. Sometimes one remote can turn on or off its assigned line while the other doesn't, as it should. In other cases, this remote control turns on its assigned line and one other line. If one string is off and the other is on, it's very difficult to turn them both on or both off. Play around with it a bit; We turn them both on or both off. Also, another unknown HF in the house seems to be causing this or that string to turn on or off unexpectedly. For this reason I cannot give this product a full 5 stars. By the way, some may wonder why I didn't just buy one of the twice as long strings and I didn't have this problem. The reason for this is that the best outlet available was roughly in the middle of where the string of lights was needed. Installing a transformer at one end or the other would likely require an electrician to get out and hook up new power in the attic.
