Review on πŸ’‘ 5050RGB LED Ribbon Light - 5 Meters Remote Control, 12W Power Supply, 60 LEDs, Color Changing with Control Panel - SMD 5050 by Felicja Zajc ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Its impossible to use it, dont waste your money.

The remote control is powered by a CR1220 battery, notwithstanding the case's recommendation that a CR2025 battery be used instead. At first, the remote didn't function; perhaps the battery was dead. Instead of dealing with it, I just used CR2032 batteries (it differs from CR2025 only in thickness). Two days into a week of use, the power source died and produced zero output. Two 220V lines went dead on the tracks (photo attached). It's odd that it happened just when the fade mode was activated, and not when I tested the tape with all lines at full brightness. As a whole, I opted to bring along a different power supply that will be more stable, and I plan to put this one to better use on a less "gluttonous" task. Cost me $850. Even though I knew it wouldn't be much of an LED strip, I bought it nevertheless to play around with.

Pros
  • A brilliantly colored LED strip.
Cons
  • It is not obvious from the product pictures that the LEDs are not tricolor but rather three parallel lines of the same hue (red, green, blue alternate).
