16.4 Ft RGB Color Changing Kit with LED Flexible Strip, Controller + Remote and Power Supply, 2034rgb Kit Review

16.4 Ft RGB Color Changing Kit with LED Flexible Strip, Controller + Remote and Power Supply, 2034rgb Kit

These light strips are fantastic! The kit will come with everything needed to get up and running; the power supply, light strip, controller, and remote. The LED strip ribbon can be cut after every three LEDs, you'll just have to solder the four leads on (or purchase the $2.00 lead) in order to connect a power supply/controller to them again. The strip contains an adhesive backing for mounting to virtually any dry surface. On one end you have the plug wired in for you to connect to the controller, on the other side there is already four leads attached for you if you would like to purchase a driver to hard wire into the strip.
These little LEDs are very bright! I can't imagine what the super bright LEDs available would be like! The remote control includes 16 brightness levels, a strobe effect albeit very slow, and smooth transition from color to color, and fade transition from color to color, and a flash mode. There are 15 colors to choose from from the RGB spectrum. The remote is small and light weight (about the size of a credit card but about 1/4" thick) and runs off of a common CR2025 battery. The range of the remote is about 15-20 feet.
The only problem that arose while testing the kit is with the remote. The color spectrum on it isn't the same as what the LED strip projects. For instance, when you press the Green button the LEDs light up Blue or press the Blue button and the LEDs project Green. The Red spectrum controls the Blues, the Blue spectrum controls the Reds, but at least the Green spectrum still controls the Greens :)
Overall I'm very excited and pleased with these lights. I'm using the first kit for shadow lighting for under my bar I'm building. I intend on purchasing more kits for walkway lighting in our Home Theater and also for accent lighting in our kitchen, office, and bathrooms.

The product is really janky for the price. They say you get 20 lights, but what you really get is 5 bare assemblies with 4 small LED lights on PC Board with soldered ~3 inch wires that attach each together. You even have to attach the Levitron on/off switch yourself and wire it all to the power adapter that looks like a typical one that comes with PC accessories. But the worst was that it didn't work at all and when I called the company's support line, they brushed me off saying I had to deal with Amazon. They won't honor the 30 day return policy in the manual. Fortunately, Amazon made good on it all. I'm getting my money back. Thanks Amazon!

These sounded like they would be a great replacement for our fluorescent under counter lights of similar length but they really aren't; the light provided is not nearly as bright as the fluorescents and the LED light is somewhat blue rather than white.
Also, the LED's seem to be spaced too far apart, there are shadows within the illuminated area.

Waterproof RGB Color Changing LED Flexible Strip 150 SMD LED, 16.4 Ft, 12 Volt, 2038rgb Review

I wondered why this unit seemed to be so much cheaper than other, comperable units, and I found out why. the colors are kinda funky. I've seen good RGB strip lights before and these were way off. the greens are not very strong at all and the reds are more sort of orangish, so you never get really intense color from these. even the blues are sort of pale. I don't know how you can screw up LED colors, since they all seem to be pretty standard, but these managed to.

I was leery buying this strip and power adapter considering the low price and having no reviews. But, let me tell you, these things are fantastic! Easy to install and the adhesive back has worked great! We used them to light a large antique cabinet that I display glassware in. The bright white of the light really make it sparkle! We had enough left over to replace puck lights(bulbs were quite expensive)under kitchen cabinets and a china cabinet.

These LEDs are very bright. I purchased Cheaper priced LEDs with same specs from a different deller and they were very dim. LED Wholesalers has the brightest LEDs on the market and I trust buying their LEDs. They are so bright, you can even use them outside of a vehicle as underneath lighting...but you might want to double up if you want them as bright as neon. Inside of vehicle, you only need to run one strand.

I ordered this March 22 and received it March 24. Great service there! However, it was as dead as a doornail. I applied to Amazon to get it replaced and guess what - Amazon will only refund on outside vendors merchandise. So, I have to ship this within 24 hours to get my refund and wait another few days to get one that (might) work.

If/When I get one that works to power my LEDs, I'll edit the review and change my Rating.
Until then, I give it just one star - for the rapid shipment to me.
[Edit 03/31/2011]
I thought I had edited this a couple of days ago and came back and it's not here. HUMPH. I'll try again!
Received the second power supply and this one had 12V as strong as should be. VERY pleased with the quick shipping and now that I have a working power supply, I'm good to go!
Cons: Short 12V leads. TOO short. I made do, but it's a tad frustrating.
I don't know what country these are made in, but instead of the INDUSTRY STANDARD Black/White/Green on the 120V side,
the cable is made up of Tan/Blue/Yellow Wire? Who does that? Had to use a meter to verify the conductors.
Pros: SOLID construction on the main body of the device. Seems built like a tank!
Overall, after all is said and done, I'd buy again. If fact, I know I will. My next project is cabinet lighting.

The LED's look great, and are pretty easy to use. The adhesive they come with is not particularly strong - at least it didn't hold well to the metal I was affixing it to. Since the LEDs have nothing protecting them, they are vulnerable to wear and tear. I affixed these to my bike and had a few get ripped off after loading the bike on the car carrier.

LED Strip Light Connector 4 Conductor 12 mm Ribbon to Cable, 2094 Review

LED Strip Light Connector 4 Conductor 12 mm Ribbon to Cable, 2094
Average Reviews:

This item may be a good item for a 12mm led strip but the 16.4 Ft RGB Color Changing Kit with LED Flexible Strip, Controller + Remote and Power Supply, 2034rgb Kit is a 10mm strip. This cute little adapter shorted out my power supply. The company replaced it with no hassle at all, but the adapter is NOT suited for the above product. Additionally, I don't feel the it is secure enough to hold the connection, even if it was the right size.
I cut mine and used the wire bundle to complete the job, along with a soldering iron.
Again, fine product for a 12mm strip, but the 16.4 Ft RGB Color Changing Kit is a 10mm kit! This product did not work for me, although the company says that it does work (I have no reason to doubt them) but I bought 4 and could not get them to work and they damaged my power supply.

Get your solder gun ready! This is NOT plug-and-play, but if you have a little experience soldering, you'll have no problem turning this low-voltage LED ribbon into a custom lighting set up.
It's basically a linear, flexible circuit board with three LEDs every two inches. There's a well-marked place to cut the ribbon every two inches, with corresponding solder points etched into the clear insulation. Indicators also point to + and - soldering locations for easy connections.
I'm a photographer, and 2700k color temperature means a little "warmer" than tungsten (standard incandescent bulb). Daylight is between 6500k and 7200k, which appears much bluer or "cooler" indoors. If you want the finished project to look like warm incandescent light, get these lights. They do NOT look like LEDs. The only caveat is that they do not get warmer at low dimmer settings -- color temp is consistent throughout the output range, unlike standard lights.
They're extremely low-profile, and the 3M tape backing sticks readily to any surface. I put them under my book shelves and they are invisible. The indirect light is so pleasing, and any plug-and-play option with LEDs would have cost $70 per shelf. I have 35 shelves, so that was out of the question.
The entire project required four reels of these lights, two dimmers, and two transformers. Total cost was $300, plus my own labor. Total power for all of that is just eight amps, and the lights themselves are absolutely cool to the touch. The 12v operation means no risk of fire or serious electric shock.
I bought a couple of rolls of red/black 18 gauge hookup wire from Radio Shack; some small gauge solder; and a "helping hands" soldering iron stand. This has the alligator clips required to hold the ribbon and wire in place while you hold the solder and the iron. One drop of solder per spot, and you're all set. I hadn't soldered in decades, so I watched a YouTube video as a refresher. After a few connections, it was no sweat.
LED Wholesalers uses Amazon.com for fulfillment, so that means you'll get your stuff on time, and for those of us with Amazon Prime, delivery is "free."
Be sure to order the 12v power supply and stepless dimmer from these guys. They're great, too.
I took a leap of faith ordering these with almost no reviews, but trust me, these are great lights. Someone could make a business out of installing these for people!

Nice product. Not the most efficient leds out there, but great for the price and very versatile. No printed info so don't buy if you'll need instructions. The 5050 chips make this flexible strip more efficient than their others which use the 3528 chip. The warm white color is very pleasing to the eye.
I'm converting my house lighting circuit to 12 volts DC so these are just what I needed to brighten things up. I cut the first strip up for under cabinet and workbench lights and just ordered more to use for the attic and outdoor lighting. Now I can donate the compact fluorescents to my favorite non-profit, MOFGA!

5 Meter Reel Warm White 3100k Flexible LED Ribbon 300 Leds 16 Ft by LEDwholesalers, 2026ww-31k Review

I ordered this 5 Meter reel of 300 LEDs hoping that they would be bright enough to serve as under-cabinet lights to brighten my counter tops. Not only are they bright enough, they can be cut into sections as small as 2" (with 3 LEDs) and put just about anywhere. With simple soldering skills and some light gauge wire, it is possible to place these light strips into just about any configuration.
A single strip of these LEDs are bright enough to make the countertop bright, but my application has given me almost twice the LED ribbon that I need. I plan to double-up on the LEDs by running an additional strip behind the front strip giving me additional light. If this is too much, I can always dim down to an appropriate level.
Along with the LED reel, I also purchased PWM Dimming Controller For LED Lights or Ribbon, 12 Volt 8 Amp, 3301 and 30 Watt LED Power Suppply Driver Transformer 120 to 12 Volt DC Output, 3207. The dimmer works wonderfully and the power supply seems to have enough zip to keep things bright!
