One Long Strip of LEDs, Controllable by Alexa
I've dabbled with a few LED light strips, and this is the most powerful one I've worked with yet. It has a 24 V power adapter, which allows it to control 32.8 feet of LEDs. It can get tremendously bright, much more than you'll ever need. The lights are controlled by a device that's shaped like a hockey puck, and then it's accessible to your entire Wi-Fi network. That all works like a charm if you have the patience to enter the passwords of your Wi-Fi network and set up an account with its Magic Home app.The lights themselves work well, and there are 600 of the little LEDs in this 32.8-foot strip. The best trick is to have the lights controlled by Alexa, and you can specify with your voice the colors and brightness you want. You can't specify all the device's millions of colors, but you can specify certain increments of brightness using any whole number between 0 and 100. You can also control basic colors. I was surprised that it even knows the color fuchsia, for instance, but it wasn't familiar with the color Amber.My only reservation about this setup is when I control it with the app, some colors are not obtainable at certain brightnesses. For example, if you want an amber color at the lowest brightness, that's not possible. It turns to red. But that's just the nature of these RGB LEDs.My next step in my lighting project will be to somehow connect this 32.8-foot strip of LEDs to an additional 16-foot strip, so I can install a 50-foot length of these LEDs into a soffit I would like to light up. That might be a bit problematic because the sticky tape on the bottom of these lights can't stick to my popcorn-ceiling finish on my soffit. However, the company aims to please and provided enough clamps and screws for me to permanently install this into the soffit I'm lighting up.This kit is the best one I've tested yet, and it does everything its manufacturer says it will do. I have one additional caveat: Like almost all Chinese products, the instructions are almost gibberish, so if this is your first time setting this up, you're in for some frustration. That's why I can only give this product for stars. I'm convinced that instructions are an important part of any product, and these are so poorly written they're almost completely useless. Almost. But if you're familiar with the way these things work, your setup and installation will be relatively easy.

Very satisfied. Nice kitchen upgrade for a reasonable price. Did it myself. See photos.
Pretty awesome. I bought tracks with diffusers to give a professional polished look. They were inexpensive and worth it. Install takes trial and patience. I watched a number of YouTube videos to be sure I didn’t mess up. Love the app. Works really well with Alexa and the routines in the Alexa app. Very cool. Just like plumbing, you go into it thinking a couple of hours tops, not for me, two 8-hour sessions. Although, the underside of the countertop went much faster since I knew what to do after the first session. Turn off the unit when making physical connections. I ruined one controller and bought a replacement. I’m glad I did this project. Go for it.

Purchase with Caution!
I bought 3 of these LED'S strips. Setup was easy. I recommend placing your phone in airplane mode when connecting the LED's to wifi! Setup through Alexa was also easy. No problems with any of that.My problem is with the accessories sent with the LED strips. The quality is VERY poor. The cords for the power supplies are connected to a large black box. These connections are not very sturdy. Out of the 3 sets I purchased, 1 power supply failed within 24 hours. I contacted Sanwo via Amazon and, although they were very friendly and seemed to be responsive, a week has gone by and I have not received a replacement power supply. I contacted them again and they told me the power supply was being sent by Amazon and not to worry. I'm a bit skeptical regarding that reply since this isn't an Amazon issue.I will update this review when Sanwo provides the new power supply and my LED's are working again. For anyone reading this review, for now, purchase with caution!Update 10/28/18Sanwo did not provide a new power supply, they selected to refund me $10 instead and sent me a link to a $10 power supply on Amazon. I've increased my initial 2 stars rating to 4 stars for their decent customer service and ease of setup for the LED's.

Easy to install following the instructions. Several colors are not accurate or won't work at all. (UPDATED)
Good product and not hard to install/connect. However, either the controller or the strip is faulty since it won't do any reds, yellows, or oranges. I have tried to just do plain white light, but no luck either with that. So I'm stuck with a limited color strip light. Also, I haven't been able to find the connectors for this 4-pin 12mm strip light. The only ones I've found are the 4-pin 10mm or 5-pin 12mm. So read carefully before buying the "recommended" purchases associated with this product.UPDATE: The seller contacted and offered a solution to make the 10mm connectors work. You can just trim the edges of the strip to fit; I never thought about doing so thinking this might ruin some of the connections on the strip. However, there seems to be a faulty item, and I believe is the controller. I made sure all cables were well connected, as the seller suggested. The strip still shows a very limited amount of colors, all within the blue area. A replacement should fix this problem. Kudos for the customer service.
