DAYBETTER Led Strip Lights 32.8ft Kit with Remote and Power Supply Color Changing

The Day Better kit worked for me though I will add a few tips I learned that helpEd me that may help future buyers .1) if you don’t need IP65 waterproof where you are installing them, consider Getting regular strips... the Silicon has tended to make my very simple indoor van installation quite a royal pain with the available connectors out there.. I used the waterproof not because it was outdoors but it was running near roof cavity’s that do potentially sweat In outdoor temp changes etc or fingers grab looking for things and dust accumulation Etc to cause problems which the silicone protects against but in my case if I had it to do over I would try the the sturdiest non waterproof set available as the connector kits out there are much more plug and play and unless you’re installing a lot of these and don’t mind buying large kits of spare parts to have around for troubleshooting options and creative installs it gets expensive trying to make a basic install work and get good connections with these waterproof strips if you are turning corners or needing wire runs to different sections of light strip.2) if you estimate you need the 16ft kits get the 32 ft at least... trust me in experienced in electrical and finicky installs and some of the connections go smooth and work like candy but suddenly when you start cutting and recurring strips because your piercing style connectors are junk , you need more strip to go through until you get experienced.3) if you want bright light go with the more lights per inch strips.. I wanted to save overall amp draw and only needed mood/ambience so I got the less lights per inch.. but it has dimmer settings... so unless you know you only want mood brightness get the denser lit strip and turn it up and down you will have more bright light capabilities.3) take care to cut the ends perfect. The ends being even make all the difference inside the connections4) if using the strip to 4 wire harness piercing style connectors, use an electrical tester at each leg/each side of every connection you make. Leave the strip end coming from the controller connection on and connect to the strip then test the lead end side of the connectors to make sure you have voltage. Then connect section of wire and test the wire end before connecting to another section of light strip test the far side of the connector where the next strip is going.. with the lights on then you will often get a connection just by touching the strip end to the connector.5 ) on connectors. You will go through so many connectors getting good fits on the piercing variety for waterproof strips get plenty.Tips others have posted about , helps to use a spare connector to pierce your wires and sometimes your strip first so you don’t damage or wear out a connector that you intend to be permanently in the circuit...I even cut a little bit of light strip with wire on it to use as the tester and pre piercing connector when connecting a set of wires to a strip end.Pulling on the wire a bit helps to make a good connection at times. Be very meticulous cutting the ends of the connectors.Finally for strip to strip or strip to wire connectors consider getting the kind made to slip under the prongs that’s are more designed for the non waterproof kind but some say waterproof because they will house the raised curve of the silicone when closed but the connection method is the same as non waterproof strips and is non piercing.. you simply have to work the end where you’ve cut the strip like you’re peeling the adhesive but instead you gently get the silicone to lift off the backing tape that is the circuit and expose the contacts and slip that under the connector tongs and let the silicone come back down and close the connector.. possibly wire solder the other end if you want a strip to wire connection... although for a novice soldering it wouldn’t be easy..Basically don’t get waterproof ones unless you have a lot of extra strip to work with and ruin or unless you really need the waterproof kind...Maybe consider inventing a better strip to wire connector for these waterproof strips because they are all junk!Hope this helps.

Felicidades es justo lo que anuncio.

Awesome item. Awesome seller. Lights up brighter than expected. Just Don't pull out the white strip wire from the white little box. It's a pain to get it clipped back on without bending the little metal pieces inside the white box. Overall I will definitely recommend this to all. It's waterproof so spills shouldn't effect it. The strip has a nice thick clear protective guard. Definitely worth it.

Bought these in July 2022. Two 38 foot light strips, control module and remote. Mounted outdoors under porch roof. Not in the rain or snow, they just need to survive PA temperatures. The red and green LED's are fine. The problem I'm having is with the the blue LED's. One 38 foot strip has 11 sections of 3 blue LED's failing (not all in a row but sections of 3 in various places) and the other 38 foot strip has 10 sections of blue LED's failing in the same manner. Also the small white control module will sometimes turn on by itself and stay on until power is removed (remote won't do anything in this situation). Gotta say, they were pretty cool when they were working right. I'm bummedMfg has contacted me and offered refund or replacement. If they're going to stand behind their product and try to make things right, then I will give the seller 5 stars. I hope these new ones will survive the winter.
