Daybetter Led Strip Lights
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I installed these lights in my daughters room a few days ago. For the price I paid for them they are fine. My daughter likes them alot. I only bought these lights after watching many review videos on You Tube about LED strip lights, the technology, the variations in quality, the pros and cons, and installation. I chose this specific light set because it is a single 50' strip. Other brands, and even other models by this same brand require attaching multiple strips to make 50 feet. I did not want to deal with additional connections or the visual clutter of multiple cords associated with multiple strips. The installation was fairly easy. I found it helpful to cut off the peeled backing paper every two to three feet. If I let it go longer than that long it added weight pulling on the installed part of the strip and it also got tangled with the remaining portion of the light strip. The adhesion seems very strong. A couple of times I had to peel it back a bit to straighten it out, and the tape actually pulled some paint off the wall. That being said, I followed the installation instructions and wiped the wall down with a mild cleaner prior to installing. Any amount of dust on the wall would weaken the adhesion of the tape. Being a less expensive brand, the lights are spaced two inches apart and some of the colors (purple and orange particularly) are weak. The brightness of the lights is fine for my daughters room because she wants dimmer ambient color light. They are capable of getting much brighter than she needs. From the reviews I watched, the number of lights, quality of the color and brightness is much better on the much more expensive brands. The only complaint that I have is that the remote control that came with these lights is very flimsy. I have used other gadgets with LEd lights that had a similar if not the exact same remote, and those remotes did not last long. The upside of this is that there is a phone App that will control these lights if the remote fails. My daughter has not installed the App because she is not interested in the added features so I cannot speak to the quality of the App. We will see how these lights perform over time, and I will update this review if necessary."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I purchased the 100 foot kit. It was enough to run throughout my niece\'s playhouse. I cleaned off the painted wood with a terry cloth and rubbing alcohol. I was impressed with how sticky the 3M stuck onto the surface. I hope it stays on for a few years. I am more than satisfied with my purchase.\n\nREAD ONLY IF YOU PLAN ON CUTTING THE LED STRIPS TO MAKE CUSTOM PATTERNS:\n\nAside from this, I also bought some "T" connectors that didn\'t work. Make sure to look at the items you buy. RGB (Red/Green/Blue) is how the wires align on the kit. Those "T" connectors I bought were off, meaning they were not in the RGB sequence. They were RBG (Red/Blue/Green). I tried rewiring them with the wire I purchased by flipping the blue and green. That did not work. It could\'ve been my fault or faulty hardware. On another note, make sure to buy a hook/pick from Amazon or a hardware store. You can lift the small pins from the connectors so you can slip the strip in very easily and then push the pins down to secure them, along with the plastic tab (sorry I don\'t have pics).\nI plan on applying silicone to any exposed connectors, since the kit says it is water proof. On top of that I also used heat shrink tubing to make custom connections.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My teenage son was able to put these lights up on his own. The adhesive strip seems pretty strong. I don't know how long the adhesive will last. But for day 1, it feels pretty strong. The colors a great. Doesn't do pink very well. My son is really excited about this."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My son has been asking for these room lights for over an year and I finally got them they we're easy to put up the only problem we had was one corner but we got pass that lights are good and bright and you also control the brightness the settings are cool\nwe give it 5 stars."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ' I love it'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My step daughter loves this product.

However you only get one outlet connection so the two strands HAVE to be used together. That was a disappointment as I had planned to split them into separate rooms. Everything else was great. They stick great on my painted ceilings and don't fall down. I've had a string in my bedroom that's on 24/7. Even with 4 cats trying to attack them they have stayed well attached. The remote control only worked 1 time though. Easily controlled with the smart phone app so immaterial."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The LED light strip was so very easy to install, especially because I have small crown molding going around the entire room. I was able to place the strip on top of the molding making it virtually invisible during the day and when I have the bedroom light turned on. It lights the room up perfectly! The adhesive is very strong. One suggestion make sure the surface is free of dirt, dust or oil to ensure maximized adhesion. Also there’s two ways to control the light strip, a small remote that is included with the light strip and an app. I had no problem uploading the app, linking it with the lights and using the app. It’s pretty cool to be able to play music and the lights respond to the music. My room is such a vibe now! Truly these lights are DOPE!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My son worried me to death about getting these lights. Cheap and Simple to install. No problems - we use the remote and Bluetooth app to control the color and brightness. You will notice it’s dimmer on the side furthest away from power but it’s not that noticeable. If you don’t get power to the LED lights. The white connection plug needs to be reversed. Then the remote will cut the LEDS on. I’m surprised at how bright they glow ⭐️'}]
