Govee TV LED Backlight, RGB LED Lights for TV with Remote, Music Sync, 10ft TV Lights Behind with 32 Colors and Multiple Scene Modes for 46-60 inch TVS, USB Powered

As with all electronic product reviews I write, the star rating (in this case 5 after installation) assumes a long-to-reasonable product life.I selected this from the array of products of this type for several reasons. First, I liked the ~10' length providing 4-side coverage for my 55" flatscreen. Next, I liked that it includes an inline controller in addition to a remote; it just seems safer to have the ability to control the system in the event the controller gets lost or fails. I'd have preferred black strip backing, connectors, and controller because my TV happens to be mounted on an elbow arm positioned at a 45º angle to a corner with its back partially exposed to view as we enter the room from the side…but I can tolerate white; in ways the contrast makes it easier to see against the TV's black case when installing.Be very careful and aware when peeling the backing paper off the light strips. You'll never know which light strips the backing peels easily off of and which present a big challenge, sticking so hard to the adhesive that the adhesive itself (actually a double-sided tape) may begin peeling off the light strip. Be patient, use a sharp small Xacto or mini boxcutter style razor blade should a fingernail not work. And keep your finger oils off of that exposed tape.Because my TV's screwed to the wall mount, I worked with it in place…vertical, not on a table. If you like clean installations, measure each side in turn, mark its center, and mark the center of the light strip that matches the side. Anchor the strip from that centerpoint and if you're real persnickity, extend the end you begin peeling and sticking from just a little because as the backing comes off the strip will stretch to its full length. Carefully decide how to orient the 4 strips; you'll have two choices and both the position of the TVs USB ports and the length of the wire from the light strip to its USB plus will help you make that choice. I recommend installing the long top section first, then in my case the left section with the USB controller attached due to its weight. I anchored and arranged that, then affixed the long bottom section and finished with the short right side. Be SURE to untwist the right side BEFORE fixing the bottom. This advice assumes your installation orientation choice is like mine…controller segment on the left side. Unlike other similar products, this one does not advertise its tape as safe for rough surfaces. Most of the back of my TV is rough; so far so good.As for lighting, in my irregular basement zone and 45º corner mounting the system lights up more space than I presume for against-a-wall placements. We're experimenting. Having a typical array of colors plus 6 levels brightness/dimness to chose from offers a workable range. As for turning the system off, our home theater system is all attached to a surge protector which we use as a master power switch. We turn it off each night and that turns off the light system.

Great adhesion, just be sure that you pull the tape off of the back of the strip only and not the adhesive strip too! Not super/annoyingly bright, but it largely depends on where you place the strips. If you have a smaller tv you may be able to place the strips at the ends of the tv back, maximizing brightness, but we but them on a 70" tv, so we had to place the strips about 5" in on the tv back in all directions because there isn't a lot of slack in the wiring of the light set. The end result is a very smooth transition from the tv backlight to the dark walls (assuming that you're watching tv in the dark). The only lacking thing in the kit is the remote, because the module that receives the remote signal is supposed to be able to be on the back of the tv, out of sight. But, unless the module and the remote are able to see each other with no visual obstructions, you're going to have a hard time changing the colors. I just get up and point the remote at the back of the tv, but it may annoy some people. You could always place the module on the side bezel of the tv like I did initially, but it looks sloppy with the wires illuminated by the backlight. You can also set your tv to power off the USB port so that these lights turn off with the tv, and the light set does remember which color was on last. It's a good set and I recommend it.

Just bought this a week ago and started using it two days ago. Do not be overwhelmed by what to do. It's easy to apply just by looking at the strips. It fits good on my 55 inch TV. The whole strip has a sticky padding so you don't have to worry about providing your own as you peel them off and attach them to the back of the TV anywhere. Remote is also a great feature as I can control the speed and color of the lights. It also has a way for the lights to dance to the music which is a great feature. It also uses a usb plug on the back of the TV to power the lights and its awesome.My main reason for this product is to help me with eye strain while watching in the dark.It creates enough LED ambient light enough for me to focus on the TV and also, creating a mood which I can adjust the lights to. For example, for me using bluish light on Sci Fi movies, using yellowish light on comedy, or red on horror (I don't watch horror but if I did red would be the color I would choose). I have white wall so the colors are very bright and bounces off the wall creating enough light (sometimes brighter then the TV).So far, this product is awesome and I would recommend it to make the TV look better and to help you with eye strains.

For the sale price of $10 that I bought these lights for I was initially very happy with my purchase. My brother helped me install them which seemed doable enough, though he had to really mess with it to loop the corners to fit on my 40 something inch tv. But that’s no big deal. They stick well, they’re bright, they have good color and modes. The remote is kind of basic compared to some other ones you may see on the market but you get what you pay for and it works. My big issue with these is that every time I press the ok button (and other ones too) on my roku remote, the light mode immediately changes from whatever I set it to and continues to keep changing color every time I press it after that. As someone who likes to pause and skip a lot in shows, this is incredibly annoying. Also, it will randomly turn on be it in the day, or worse, in the middle of the night. I’m seriously considering removing these for better ones that don’t act up so much but I don’t want to go through the hassle, I guess it’s my fault for jumping at the price and “amazon best” and not doing my research.
