Nice and easy way to add some smart mood/accent lighting

Nice color scheme. Goes well with Alexa. The silicone (or whatever) covering the LEDs is sticky and will pick up dust and dirt. Adds atmosphere to any room, but it takes more than one to illuminate a large dark room. The power source indicates suitability for wet environments, although I haven't used mine outdoors.

Beware of buzzing

I've had them for about 11 months now and I've started to hear a buzzing from these light strips, mainly at the plug/adapter. It makes a high-pitched buzz and disrupts sleep when it's on. I've tried resetting Strips, switching outlets, and updating the app, but it's still there. It's a little disturbing that he's making such noises. Luckily customer service was helpful, but just try a different brand of strips.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Factor Set

Works great with Alexa (Zigbee) - but a fat mess

Good part - I was able to plug this straight into my Echo Show 10" which has Zigbee built in. Added as a light and then "other " and it found it and I can turn it on and off and adjust the brightness and the color so it's a good smear why I have no idea but others have noticed too, you have to spend a lot of time with it spend trying it off or dust will stick to it, not sure if this was done on purpose or if the rubber silicone coating just dissolves in the lube.

  • Best
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Great product to connect to your home automation system

These smart LED strips from Sylvania are quality LEDs. I installed them in my basement, hidden behind a ceiling molding so they don't irritate the eyes, and the way they are hidden doesn't affect the brightness at all. I can make any color I fancy. Clever skills have bribed me as I have been trying to automate my home for a number of years. I was able to link them to both Alexa and Google Assistant, as well as SmartThings, the hub I use to manage my home automation. I would recommend this…

Nice bar for lights and ceiling fans

The light bar is 100% waterproof, as is the controller. The colors are not bad, there are some issues with green, there is some yellow, red is more purple. The response is quick and works well with smart stuff. The main reason I gave it 3 stars is because I opened the box and the whole strip was slimy with grease. I tried cleaning it up and it got a lot better, but it's still there. I soaked it in Spray 9 and rubbed the entire strip twice, then filled the sink and left it there for 30 minutes…

  • Plus only
Cons

Great lights! for LED strips

excellent lighting. I have been very happy with every Osram/Sylvania Lightify product I have purchased and this flexible street light is just as good. Works great, combines easily with SmartThings and has a good color palette. The only complaint I had, and it's a small one, is that they were supposed to be 'new', but the box was open and the mounting clips/screws were missing. I don't really care as I wasn't going to use them anyway, but it annoys me that my 'new' product was opened…

Pros
  • practical article
Cons
  • so far so good

Greasy mush with short cord

The light is covered in a very greasy and oily layer on both sides, which means it's impossible to use double-sided mounting tape, even if you clean it thoroughly. Mounting brackets are soft and squishy and nearly impossible to install. I ended up tying the lanterns to the railing. The wall plate is quite large too: it blocks both GFCI ports, and if you have a door on top of the outlet, 50x50, it will fit - I ended up having to shave some space off the door to make it fit. From the adapter to…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Fine

Exactly what it is supposed to do

I was looking for several LED lights to use in different parts of the house. I already have several SYLVANIA General Lighting 75584 Sylvania Smart+ ZigBee lights, I was satisfied with the quality and price and decided to try these LED strips. I was very happy with the brightness, colors and ease of use and installation. Compared to buying your own controller and separate lights, this was much easier: just plug it in and connect it to a ZigBee hub. Other things to note are as follows: 1. They…
