Review on 🌈 ALITOVE 3.2ft WS2812B RGB LED Strip Light: Programmable, Addressable, DC5V, Arduino & Raspberry Pi Compatible by Kathy Wilking

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well, good size and number of LEDs for side lighting tiles.

My first order for LEDs was from ALITOVE and so far I've been lucky with it. This is my selection of LED products. This strip works great. Perfect length for a small wall project. I will try to post pictures of the project over time. I bought the power supply from ALITOVE. From Lowes I bought two sizes of glass tile and an aluminum channel into which I inserted LEDs. The channel can slide over tiles or hold them. The idea is to use hot glue or silicone to glue the tiles onto a rigid strip to hang on the wall. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 to get the LEDs to create interesting patterns and movement. I found two tile sizes that I really like. The smaller size is approximately 1cm x 4cm and is a 2.5 x 2.5cm sheet of clear frosted cracked tiles. It takes two square feet to make 60 frosted/clear tiles. It takes a lot more for a full 60 cracked tiles, which are interesting when the LED is on, but break easily. When I find them, I use those lights one level down, and sometimes multiple at once. They are bright enough for my use even at 50 (out of 255). For a poorly lit room, values from 5 to 12 are very good.
