GIDERWEL RGBW LED Strip Light,16.4ft SMD5050 Flexible RGB Cold White LED Strips 300LEDs,Dimmable Mixed Color Changing LED Tape Light Ambiance Lighting for Party Home Kitchen,Only 5m Strips

Pros-***Full roll is used, i've seen some give us a strip with only a little bit of it rolled onto the roll so i like that they use the minimal material of rolls or maximum or LEDs.***Bright for sure, i suppose all LED strips are, but i'm just saying this one isn't one of those fluke ones that isn't that bright.***Includes a little bit of extra wiring for DIY-ing if you're into that.Cons-***5 pin connector means i couldn't the controller i have for another strip and needed to order another.***No magnets in strip, i think these should be a necessity because then it can be mounted in some places much easier and less messy.***As for the listing on amazon, i was a little agitated it wasn't super clearly stated that this did not come with a controller, nor did they state what app they referenced when saying "corresponding app" so i had to dig in the Q&A section of the listing.I'd suggest more openly listing names of apps that can be used if there is a specific one or multiple depending on controller used, and also stating there is not controller included openly, because unless i completely overlooked it, it was agitating to dig for that information. I'm not sure if this would be possible either, but having converters to 4-pin connectors for other controller would be neat, even if some functionality is lost, because so far most of my other LED strips have been 4 pin. Making this addressable would also be nice as it's a functionality i heavily seek in LED strips.If you don't mind buying a controller seperately and dealing with that, nor do you need addressable lights, this is for you. They are bright as normal LED's should be and get their job done.

The lights look amazing and plug into my computers motherboard directly so I can sync them with the LEDs on the board. I was able to cut the strand to the length I wanted with no issues. The adhesive could be stronger, even after cleaning the surfaces in my computer tower the strand peeled off over time. It does expand a bit after you start using it so I’d recommended leaving it on for a while before sticking it into place to get the right fit. Overall pretty satisfied and the price is awesome.

Where to start with these. I ordered two rolls, and I have had a mixed experience with both rolls.Roll 1 was easy to use, but was not as bright as expected. The adhesive also wouldn't stick to the bookshelf I put it on, but I also made the bookshelf myself. So, that is understandable.The second roll on the other hand, more than half of it has some terrible solder work on the connection points along the strip. Other thing to note is that the adhesion in this roll wasn't great either. I placed it underneath some cabinets for additional kitchen lighting.

Nice quality RGBW strip however I purchased this because I didn't want to purchase an additional Wi-fi controller just to have a longer run of LED strips. This product was literally in FAQ section of this product:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QBKRCW1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Yet the color is slightly off especially anything involving the Blue diode. When I set it to any thing around pink/magenta I can see one of the diodes staying completely Red.Adhesive is a joke. Yeah, you can use the fasteners provided to put it on the wall/ceiling or wherever you're using it but once the adhesive wears off (which took less than a day) you'll have drooping strands that are only hanging on by the fasteners.I decided to risk my security deposit and just hot glue the damn thing all the way across pictured here.It's good enough but only barely.

I paired this LED strip with the GIDERWEL Zigbee controller to create a faux Hue strip and it worked seamlessly. I am very pleased with the light output and colors. They are responsive and all the colors (except white) match the Phillips Hue brand bulbs in my room. You would need to get the strip with both the warm and cool white in order to replicate the same whites. I will likely do that in the future but for now, I can live with the slight difference regarding the white color. I mainly got it for the colors and in that regard, it matches up great and is plenty bright for my room even during the day when there is a bunch of light coming in. I will be buying more for other projects around the house.
