> 3 dayI got the warm white strip, but the color is really not that warm. Looking at the first pic, you can see how blue the strip light is (circled) compared to a 2700K LED bulb in the lamp next to it (boxed). Not ideal, but it is similar to other inexpensive, 12v warm white strips. Biggest complaint is with the design of the power bus. On these strip lights, there is a pair of power rails that run down the entire length of the strip. On this model, that power rail is unnecessary thin. This causes a fairly high voltage drop over long runs, causing the end furthest from the power supply to be substantially dimmer than the powered end. You can see how thin it is in the second pic, just a sliver of copper along the two edges. The waterproofing also makes it pretty difficult to work with, but overall happy that i can use it in outdoor installation.

> 3 dayThese lights are nice and bright and have plenty of places to cut to length. The water resistant coating works well and looks nice . . .but it makes access to the contacts you would need to get to for a cut section a little difficult. If you are skilled with an exacto knife and can solder looking thru a magnifying glass, you will have no problem with these, but after cut to length, they will not work with the snap on connectors without some trimming.

Greater than one weekSo I recently purchased a roll of these LEDs, as well as the Cool White 12V version. My project was to wire my new Matco Service Cart with blue LEDs underneath and white LEDs under the lid, wired to a magnetic switch on the N/O circuit. You open the lid, the magnets come apart, circuit closes, and the lights turn on. Close the lid, bye bye lights. Got all the wiring cut and crimped and tucked away nice and neat, and then attached the LEDs to their positions after wiping the surfaces down with mild soap, then water, then dry wipe. Whites have been up inside the lid since I put them there, not a single issue, but the blue... Well, they were all over the floor the morning after first install. I ran over half the strip with my carts wheel before I noticed, destroying a large portion of them. Cut a new line from the remainder of the roll, and encountered the same thing later in the day... blue LEDs drooping and coming off the cart. Ill probably order another roll and just see if I got some poor glue in a batch, or what the case may be. Aside from that issue, the lights seem real sturdy, plenty flexible, certainly bright enough and they throw a nice indirect glow. Wiring them into their little connectors is troublesome, so I ended up soldering leads together when I had to, simpler that way for me. All in all, Id recommend em if youre looking for some kind of lighty project.

> 3 dayI got these lights over other similar ones because they were cheaper, and the reviews still looked decent. And theyre just that; decent. Very bright light, so I suggest purchasing a dimmer. Also, they are NOT resistant to humidity. Since its midsummer and I like to enjoy the milder days, Ive used command strips in periodic places along the lights to keep them up. But I cant really complain, since they were such a bargain. Theres room for improvement, but I was satisfied enough to buy another one for another room.

> 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.

> 3 dayUsed for lighting outside and inside of boat. Dimmer than I expected. Tape for strip was coming off with paper. Then tape doubled up creating gaps. Overall product is satisfactory unless it comes off while traveling down the road. Amazon delivery was speedy but poor. I was by front door all day. I kept checking every half hour. The delivery service dropped off package WITHOUT knocking or ringing the doorbell. Anybody walking down the street could have seen and walked right up and walked off with the package. I consider the delivery service as unprofessional

> 3 dayI used these for rear parking lights and under glow on my golf cart, and it is awesome. The product is great. I had to cut a few pieces and I had a difficult time getting the plastic replacement ends to work. Once I figured out how to get them to work it was a lot easier. The adhesion on the back isnt great, I used 3M super weather strip adhesive to get them to stick to my golf cart, but I was still very happy with them.

> 3 dayGreat brightness and seal above LEDs for waterproofing. I am very happy with the outcomes. Installed them in bathtub niche. A bit of soldering and voila! There is latency from when you flip the switch to when they turn on. Maybe my power supply... No big deal. Very happy with them.

> 3 dayAdhesive sucks, but I didnt expect it to hold anyway I prefer to use hot glue on the edges to hold it down. I put these in a camper that I built as the lighting source and they turned out super cool look at the pictures for the results. Install was just as easy as lights that cost a couple hundred bucks a roll and it cost me $10... Just like many things you get what you pay for but I dont think buying the cheap ones here affected the lights for now Its been one year and they still seem to all be working
