ALITOVE 16.4ft 5050 SMD Red LED Flexible Strip Ribbon Light 5M 300 LEDs Waterproof IP65 DC 12V for Home Garden Commercial Area Lighting

Ive been buying these for a few years for various uses. These ones are way dimmer than they used to be. Continued cheapification of popular products on Amazon.

Super bright lights.

Re-write of review....like others I have had the same problem with leds detaching, they work well but was hoping I had the answer for the adhesive issue, guess not. :( I will gorilla glue it back on tomorrow. Shipped quick and everything came together. Probably didnt need to order the extra add-ons that were suggested (did not use) but did use about six feet of the plain wire suggested for the short run to the power source. Adhesion seems to be mentioned quite a bit in other comments. I used a alcohol pad but you could use alcohol and a clean rag to clean the surface your adhering to....I had to pull off about 3 feet to fix a gap I left under a little section and it pulled off way to easy but I re-attached and it is holding up fine. It was the perfect size for a golf cart roof with about 18 leftover.....cut it and added my plain wire to power/switch and it works great. Very bright!!!

No dimmer, no adhesive.

These lights deliver. They actually have what appears to be genuine 3M tape . They stay in place and they are bright.

I received this LED light strip on June 6, installed under my kitchen cabinets June 10, today is June 20 and the LEDs are burnt out in 3 places! Also extremely hot to touch. My other LED light strips (different brand) are warm but not hot. I guess you get what you pay for! I do not recommend this product.

I have bought and installed more than my fair share of LED strips. In boats, RVs, trucks, ATVs, houses, you name it. From multiple different suppliers including eBay, direct sellers, etc. I’m impressed with the quality of these out of the package. Thick, sturdy, good wiring, color is consistent and bright as you’d expect for 5050s. The 3m tape backing always seems to be the weak link with a good install. It just doesn’t last. We’ll see how these do. I’ll buy again though - much better than waiting a month to get a package from overseas.

Well, Im bummed. I read some of the reviews about these lights and noticed the listing said that, due to complaints, they have upgraded the adhesive to 3M VHB Foam Back Tape instead of the red stuff you see in the images. Well, I ordered three of these for a project to light the interiors of some garage cabinets, got everything installed and working, and the next day opened up the cabinets to find them falling off everywhere. I keep a roll of super-sticky double-sided tape that I used to strategically place better adhesive on top of the products adhesive and now they are holding up. Lights work great otherwise. Just disappointed about the adhesive.

Everything about these LED lights is good EXCEPT YOU CANNOT CUT AND JOIN STRIPS WITH PRE-FABBED CONNECTORS. I tried several different makes of connectors, none worked. You can cut and solder the strips together and they will work but that is tedious and time consuming. I have done several projects with LED lights and connectors, these are the only ones I have had to solder.

This product seems much better in quality and brightness than others that I bought. I cost a little more, but youll be better off. My last strip failed after just one year because water mist corroded the circuit board very easily.
