echosari Green LED Strip Lights Battery Powered, 90 LED 2835 SMD Strip Lights 9.8 Ft Cuttable Self-Adhesive Strip Lights with Remote Timer for Outdoor Indoor Party Bedroom Decoration

I LOVE these lights! I used them on the inside edge of my closet mirror to give me a place to do makeup, dermaplaning, etc. the installation was so easy. There’s a sticker you peel off the back to adhere it to whatever surface you want to use them on. I personally love the warm color as opposed to the cool tone color, but I like having the option to change it up! So worth the money - and the quality is great! The lights are bright enough for my purpose of buying. Perfect length for my closet mirror!

I didn't have a ton of expectations going in to buying these lights. However, I had a couple things that I wanted the lights to accomplish:1) I wanted lights to lighten our stairway at night without having the main lights on.2) I needed something that didn't have to plug in because there wasn't a handy plug near the stairs.3) I wanted to be able to adjust brightness so we could have it dim during sleep hours if we needed to get up for the bathroom or something, but brighter during the evening when we were still awake for aesthetics.The bonus really was the remote control and the other settings.The lights were SUPER easy to install and even come with little things to hold the lights in place if you have (I imagine) stucco walls where the adhesive may have a harder time gripping to (I guess this because stucco never lets me stick anything to those walls - could be wrong and this adhesives great to those walls). Regardless, in case the adhesive isn't enough for your walls, you have added flexible grip things to keep the lights in place. We haven't added them yet and the lights are staying up great all on adhesive alone.The installation of the lights was crazy easy. I just gradually pulled off the adhesive protection as I rolled the lights on the wall. Maybe took me 2 minutes in total.Depending on how often you use the lights, you may go through batteries decently quick. We leave our lights on for probably 8-12 hours every day. We also use rechargeable batteries with these lights as we are regular users of them. In the just over a month that we've had them, with regular use, we've switched out the batteries once.Not too much more to say, these work great for lighting and they look really nice. They would work great as under lighting for cabinets, but these aren't like fairy lights for decoration. They are nice, but I wouldn't say they are for centerpiece decoration or festivities, more background.

Super easy to install and they stay in place. The quality is a little questionable though. The first set I got worked great and are still going strong! The latest set I got kind of "broke" a day after use.They turn on and changing the modes from the remote work, but the brightness went down by half a day after I got them. Even after installing brand new batteries in both the remote and the receiver, nothing. They're cheap enough so it's not a huge loss.EDIT:Upping my rating by one star. Make sure to use brand-name batteries for good battery life. I had used three different off-brand and the juice ran out within a day. After installing some Energizers, they work great.

I purchased this LED light strip and when I received it, I put a set of new batteries in it. I turned it on to make sure it worked and it did as did all the functions. I then turned it off and put it aside until I had time to try placing it where I had planned to put it which was a week later. When I took it back out and turned it on, the lights were so dim that they did not light up enough to illuminate anything.I have purchased other battery operated lights like this in the past and found they did the same thing. It now shows me that basically any battery operated lights that have a remote control are constantly draining the batteries because they are always on searching to a signal from the remote. Now that this has happened again with a completely different type of lighting, I will no longer buy any battery operated lights that also have a remote controlled system.I Do NOT Recommend this item unless you plan on taking out the batteries every time after you use it.

For those who are struggling with the adhesive: all this is is double-sided tape. Peel back the non-sticky backing layer and you’ll find a sticky surface. It looks at first like you peel the entire strip off but you’re meant to remove only the blue layer. The white rubbery layer is adhesive on both sides. The problem here is that the sticky layer peels off of the LED strip too easily. I can’t imagine that the adhesive will last very long so be aware that someday it’s probably going to dry out and your lights will fall.General review: this is pretty neat. I’m using this to light the interior of a large scale model I’m working on and this is a really flexible and easy way to do so. The included remote is really handy as it has individual buttons for each light setting.The color of the LEDs is nice and warm, not at all that harsh blue-white “daylight” that many white LEDs use.There are 10 levels of brightness available via the included remote. I am not sure if the electronics box needs to be in line of sight to work, but I’m hoping it’s not too limiting in that regard since I want to bury this box inside a display stand.I find it strange that the “steady on” setting is the last of 8. Seems more logical to have that first…?Also interesting to note: not only can you sit this to length, but you can separate lengths with wire by soldering on the copper spots in the cut area. Just strip off the clear rubbery layer by the + and - symbols so the small copper connection areas are bare.
