MY BEAUTY LIGHTWhite LED Strip Lights,16.4ft Dimmable LED Light Strip,12v Flexible LED Rope Lights Kits for Kitchen Cabinet Mirror Bedroom Party Decor

I was looking for a hidden lighting solution for my newly renovated pantry, and didn't want a battery-powered solution. Everything I'd researched indicated that at best the batteries would last 2-5 weeks, and I wasn't interested in yet another charging scenario. While my pantry doesn't have an internal electrical outlet, it is positioned next to the refrigerator, which obviously does, and separated by an internal, uninsulated 8" drywall. A small hole through the wall, and the purchase of an additional 10ft 12VDC extension cable (also via AMZN), and I was in business.The pantry is not particularly large - it's a step-in that is 2 doors wide, with 6 custom-made solid oak shelves that are adjustable in height. With 6 shelves that are 16.25" deep, you really want to have a lighting solution that shines into the shelves at all levels, so an LED strip light sounded like the best solution to me, which meant that I wanted a light that would be positioned at the door, facing backwards into the pantry. What initially attracted me to this one was (a) the length of the two strips (16.4 feet or 5 meters each), (b) the packaging that included the ability to cut and join the strips with supplied connectors, making it easy to put strips around 90 degree corners such as those found on the perimeter of a door frame (and shown in the picture), (c) the fact that the larger one comes with 2 strips, and the controller has an adapter to supply power to both strips - this was crucial because my installation required that the power control button be mounted about 4 feet above the floor, and rather than buy a 2nd power extension cable to run power to a connector on the floor (because the included cable wasn't long enough) I opted to cut a length from the 2nd strip and simply use that, and finally (d) the price - it's really hard to beat $22 for this setup.The light temperature of 6500k is perfect for the pantry - yeah, it can be dimmed, but I wasn't super interested in that. The amount of light shed is also just right - I opted for the "white" as opposed to "warm white" or "yellow" color.Installation of the strip is super simple - to get around the 90 degree corners, you're going to want to cut it, and then join it with the wired connectors (of which 2 are supplied). Since the strip comes with double-sided tape attached to it, you need to carefully peel off the double-sided tape from about 3mm at the end of the strip, insert it into the (opened) connector, underneath the two lip guides, and underneath the two contact points. It doesn't matter if you use black as positive and red as negative or vice-versa, all that is required is that it is an inline connection with no wire cross-over. Once the strip is snug under the connector contact points, you can close the connector clip. See one of the pictures for the connected strip. Since the cabling itself can't be seen unless you really stick your head into the pantry I did not opt to cut it to length and secure it carefully - I may do that in future, but since nobody can actually see it ...Do your measurement, cutting and joining *before* you attach the strips to their final location. The adhesive sticks firmly, and doesn't want to come off once you've secured it in place. Make sure you cut *only* at the indicated contact points (little copper connectors), and cut *exactly* where the scissor marks indicate. I would recommend installing the switch to its correct place before you connect and install the strips, because it may be your biggest limiting factor. At a minimum, mock it all out first.In summary, this is a super cheap, 12VDC powered LED light strip for those who *don't* want the hassle of a battery. The dimmable, 6000-6500K light strip that is perfect for making a neat and hidden lighting solution in many different scenarios, and was perfect for my requirements. The only thing that we don't yet know is longevity. Typically LEDs last for 10s of thousands of hours, and I have no reason to believe that this will not do the same. Five stars all around.

Very easy to set up, comes with adhesive already on the strips. All you do is pull and attach to your surface and it holds up very well. Light is extremely bright. Not disappointed. Very happy with the product.

I have purchased these lights previously. Easy installation, multi-brightness white lights ONLY. No 16 colors that do 6 things with a remote control. Easy to get them around corners under cabinets unlike the multi-color ones with all the gimmicks that are bigger, often in a tube, weigh more, and therefore fall down more often. It does what you need it to do and that's what I want !

We put these above our cabinets and it works great to give a nice glow. Not very bright but nice accent light.

The adhesive on the back of the light strip made it easy to install. And I LOVE that I was able to cut it to the exact length I need. The lights are dimmable, so I was able to adjust the brightness to get the look we wanted in that area of our house.

These are ridiculously cheap and work well. At these prices you can experiment with no risk. Give them a try.

Used in an outdoor shed/shop. Nice and bright.

Well, I have this same strip/brand that I purchased in late 2019, and they look marvelous under my kitchen cabinets---took all of 5 minutes to install.Fast forward to this most recent purchase 9 months later. I bought the double length this time around. Well, it comes in two diff strips........the adhesive strip is an absolute nightmare- I either got a defective box or the adhesive peel away strip is far far less quality than the older version of this exact item. I want to note that the lights themselves are spectacular even on this purchase, they look and function perfect! They brighten and dim and have no issues on the actual item. I would say though-if the adhesive strip changed in quality, go back to the old version. I have made every single bed, installed every single light fixture, change alternators and work on cars, etc etc. I know how to install and put things together.----It's the peel away paper that doesn't peel off. You fight it, it tears and I can't even get to the adhesive part of the strip through 80% of it. I fought it for a long time...... After 30 minutes of fighting this adhesive strip, I gave up, put them up and am not happy at all with how it looks. I hand made this soda fountain and had to get it bolted to the wall in time for my party this weekend. The strips had to go in so I can finish the rest of the room tomorrow. I will most certainly be removing these and just donating them because they are worthless at this point and make the hand made finished product look sloppy....The only thing in the room not making it to the weekend are these lights---hand made the cabinet in 3 hours but spent almost an hour just messing with these frustrating strip lights.......When I pull out duct tape, there is a big big problem, these got the tape treatment as the last resort...... Gotta get better adhesive strips-the paper tears all the way down, it took me 20 minutes to peel paper of 4 inches of one of these strips. I have 3m clips I had to go buy and used duct tape to make it presentable to the naked eye for this party. I have since taped the sagging parts, but it's a battle from the angles I have to work with etc. Not a fan of these any longer after this experience. Will be looking for an alternative next week.

These light are exactly what I was looking for in our recroom

The tape is easily cut into a number of pieces. I did also buy a feed kit to terminate the ends. Very bright, I have it dimmed to the lowest level about 10%. The tape is on a smartplug to turn it on and off on a schedule. I have also used the tape in table lamps, salt light, that did require additional 12v dc power supplies. The 16 feet went a long way.

Very easy to connect and fix up. However the dimmer does not work.
