I never leave reviews but due to the confusion and multiple choices in LED strip lighting I felt the need. I was extremely skeptical about purchasing this product and had all but convinced myself that I needed to go with the more expensive Flexfire LED product. One of my big concerns was installing something electrical into my home that did not have a UL listing, as a contractor I know better because if anything ever happened because of this product and insurance companies where to be involved things could get dicey. This product is UL listed, stamped on the LED strips and a tag on the feeds. This product was extremely easy to install, I chose to solder connections which have a slight learning curve but I could fabricate on the counter tops and then install. When soldering sections together I used 18 gauge stranded wire and tinned the leads (touch wire with solder) and I just lightly touched the small round + or - circle with a drop of solder on iron until solder left small dot on circle. Take the tinned 18 gauge wire and rest on top of small dot of solder on + or - circle and then just touch soldering iron to the top of wire for a second and wire will firmly solder and make a solid connection. One big key is to also wipe down the area with denatured alcohol, lacquer thinner, to ensure proper adhesion. One reason I almost didn't buy the product was because there where many reviews saying there was adhesive problems, adhesive backing so far has been absolutely perfect, no releasing, no sagging. This product has been in for over two weeks and my gal and I couldn't be happier, it is set on a dimmer and can be as bright or as dim as we wish. I usually shy away from less expensive products because I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for

I bought these to update the old fluorescent fixtures in my camper. These look great, the color temperature is a ringer for cool white fluoro, and they are even brighter than I'd guessed - about 100 of these LEDs will outshine a 15W fluoro tube for only 8W of power. I found they are also easy to solder directly with a low-wattage iron, removing the need for clip connectors that are a bit bulky. The adhesive backing is impressive as well, so much so that I thought it was a little difficult to handle, if a bit gets accidentally stuck, it's hard to get unstuck. Just go slow and don't peel off a lot of the backing all at once. Now that I've seen them in action I'm imagining a lot of other ways to apply strip lights, and I'd definitely buy more of these particular lights.

The 4000K, 3258 LED strip lights work as advertised. They are packaged well to prevent damage during shipment, unrolled cleanly and I've noticed only the slightest hint of delay when switching them on - but much less than some other LED fixtures I have. These will work perfectly for accent or added ambient lighting, recessed ceilings etc. Keep in mind that each 1 ft of the strip is only 164 lumens so this is good for under kitchen cabinets but not over unless you just want to add some ambient light to the room. This was not our goal. We wanted to brighten our dimly lit kitchen to the point of needing sunglasses. While the 600 LED/meter is the brighter option it is no match for the 12", 900 lumen LED bars we currently have above the cabinets (my failure in research) so we will be re-purposing the strip lighting to something else because they are too good to return. I hooked them up under my daughter's loft bed briefly and they lit her little reading area beautifully. All in all, I purchased a 12V DC power supply, inline rocker switch and an extension cable to keep the switch accessible since the connection from the strip to the power supply cord is less than a foot. Pros: Very easy setup once you understand how to power them and what kind of switch you can use Bright and very low profile UL listed 4000K is a very comfortable cool white - not surgery suite white Cons: Tends to twist as it comes off the reel and I was concerned about potentially damaging the strip - but they seem to be okay. Would recommend for task lighting, recessed areas, small spaces, and for adding ambient lighting where needed.

I bought these for a 3D printer enclosure to make it easier to see what I was doing when doing detail work (like calibration), and since it was going in my office and I’m fairly cognizant of light, good color reproduction was important. These fit the bill reasonably well. The temperature is a touch warm, they work on a dimmer (though they do buzz when the voltage is between ~40–80%), and the color reproduction is reasonable enough that it isn’t bothersome, though I’m skeptical of the “90+ CRI” claim. The LED density is fairly high, and they put out a considerable amount of light without getting hot. The adhesive is working well for me. I have three strips directly mounted to bare plywood with thin wire joining each strip and the adhesive has kept them in place without any issues for over a month now. One thing I don’t love is the solder on the pads at the cut lines. It has a tendency to make the cutters slip to one side or another, resulting in one side that has a rather small pad for solder. If you’re not planning on cutting and rejoining them it’s a non-issue, of course.

I got these lights with the hope that I would be happy with them. I am. Previous rolls I had purchased weren't bad, but not as bright, and had a cooler tint that made things look... not as nice. I got these to upgrade the lighting in my RV. Seeing that all the light fixtures in the RV are 12v, these work without needing any power adapters. I retrofitted the fluorescent fixtures to work with these lights. 1 strip = 1 fluorescent tube. The result is a slightly brighter light with a more aesthetically pleasing light quality. These are neither cool white nor warm white, but sit right in a nice spot that is neither too blue nor too yellow. A very nice neutral color. In the first picture, the left fixture is retrofitted with these LED's while the right fixture is original fluorescent. The second picture shows the inside of the LED retrofit. I used the original reflector - just adhering them directly to the reflector. The third is the original fixture for comparison. I did not use clips. Rather, I soldered the wiring directly to the strips. It's pretty easy if you're handy with a soldering iron.

I used these lights to rebuild some old ballasted fluorescent 8ft enclosures in my garage. I reused the old frames as well and just stuck the strips to those for easy mounting on the ceiling. I cannot review the quality of the connectors because I promptly cut those off at the female end and stripped the wires back for soldering on longer jumper wires to complete the circuit. I cut the strips at about the 8ft mark to make two rails of lights each 8ft long on each enclosure (2 enclosures, each with about 16ft of lights in them doubled up into two strips). My soldering seems to be adequate enough to work without issues, and the strips were quite easy to solder jumpers to in order to connect the cut strips. Now, if you're going to connect these up like I've done, I'd suggest a PWM power supply (I used a 125W model with two 12v power rails). The connectors that come attached to the strips are just OK, but nothing to write home about. Instead I just stripped the wires and ran everything into the power supply - works great! Nice and bright!

Previously purchased the strip, good color(in the middle) but ran out and needed to order another strip. After reordering the strip came significantly more yellow. It is not 4000K. Now it needs to be replaced. Terrible quality control. Would not recommend!
