> 3 dayFor waterproofing, this strip has a dome of clear plastic covering its length. That dome makes the strip too thick in its profile to accept the splicing connectors included with it, which are made for a flatter strip. Otherwise, its probably a fine product. Also, it does not include any indication of how much wattage is necessary to power the entire strip, nor any wattage per unit of length. The only clue they give is a recommendation to purchase a 24W power adapter.

Greater than one weekSo the lights are really nice, but the adhesive failed. Placed on the inside roof of my van, clean painted surface. Next morning the lights were all hanging

> 3 dayThese lights are very easy to install (if you buy the adapter) and they are much brighter than I expected them to be. They arrived three days after I placed the order.

> 3 dayI bought this to light the inside of my 17 foot diameter tent. I wasnt sure if it would be bright enough based on just the description alone. I bought one strip and figured Id get another one later, if needed. As it turned out, the second one wasnt necessary. One strip is plenty bright. I didnt need to use the adhesive backed tape, as the tent had some small strings running the circumference inside. I simply looped the light strip around these and it stayed perfectly. I am running it off of an RV/Marine deep cycle battery. So I ran a line from the battery into the tent and hooked it up to a switch. Then I ran a line from the switch to the lights and now I have real indoor lighting inside my tent. No flashlights or lanterns required. These worked out very well. I would buy again if I ever need more.

> 3 dayWhat happens when you cross low-cost/quality manufacturing with electricity? A fire risk. Enter this water-resistant LED light strip. After un-boxing I plugged it into an old 12V router power supply I had sitting around. Oddly, only about half the strip lit up before fading out. I put a couple pics up to show everyone what I mean. Curious as to how much was lit vs un-lit, I unrolled it and went out to find a tape measure. Because my garage currently looks like it could be on the next episode of hoarders, it took me about five minutes to find. This number is important, because when I came back inside I smelt the unmistakable smell of melting plastic. I quickly measured the lit portion at about 8 ft(out of 16) and went to unplug. Thats when I found out where that smell was coming from, the supplied 12v female plug was almost too hot to touch! I assume the +/- leads were somehow in contact with one another inside. This would lead to a drop in voltage and explain why there wasnt enough power for the entire strip of LEDs. So, I quickly snipped that off an soldered on another one I had sitting around and voila, the entire light strip now worked and I was no longer worried about burning my house down. Two stars for looking nice once fixed, minus 3 stars for the might catch something on fire issues. ***My Rating Criteria*** Build Quality(47.5%) - 0.0 Stars Efficacy(47.5%) - 3.0 Stars Post-Sale Support(0.0%) - n/a Packaging/Presentation(5.0%) - 5.0 Stars WEIGHTED AVERAGE(100.0%) - 1.7 STARS
