Surprisingly good price

I've been using the LED strip for about a week and so far so good. Considering the brightness, the variety of settings, and the quality of the packaging (among other things) I really feel like you get your money's worth. A few notes: 1.) I have a textured wall, so I used a slightly damp sponge with warm water and some soap to keep the wall as clean as possible. Then I patted dry with a paper towel. I wasn't sure if the adhesive on the back of the strip would be strong enough, but so far I haven't had any problems. I also used glue clips and screws for security. 2.) The app is fine. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I prefer the remote control. The ability to sync music on your phone to the light bar sounds cool, but I found it a bit useless. 3.) While the light strip works well, I found it fragile. Handle it gently from the moment you take it out of the box. It's not a heavy-duty lightstrip and it shouldn't be too hard to accidentally damage it. Overall, I'm satisfied and excited to see how long this series will last. I read some reviews about them not being durable so we'll see. Also, I'm concerned about the possibility of the adhesive damaging the wall if I had to remove the light strip for any reason. This option is definitely worth considering before buying. UPDATE: I've had the LED strip for 5.5 months now and use it daily. I'm still very happy with it and the glue continues to work well. However, I did notice tonight that a few lights were misbehaving. This is the first time I've had any problems. For some colors the problem disappears. Considering how cheap these bulbs are, I'm surprised the problem didn't appear sooner, so I still think their value is high. I'm a little disappointed, but that's ok. I plan to leave him alone for now. I could replace the strip with a new one, but I've heard horror stories about the damage they can do to walls when removed.
