These are a great deal. Very good quality. Dimming range was extensive. Max was quite bright. Adhesive is VERY strong. We put the lights up outside for Halloween. It adhered to brick and old limestone and old painted wood without any prep work, and the lights weren’t going anywhere! In fact, we are still brainstorming ideas for how to remove them. Unfortunately, it rained the next day and the lights stopped working. They didn’t make it to Halloween. But for most indoor uses, these lights would be perfect.

They are very bright, LEDs are close together and the adhesive stuck tightly.

I used this to augment lighting in a closet. I had installed one of those California Closet type systems, one sold by Lowes. Looks really nice, dark wood shelves and drawers, brushed metal rods, etc. But it was a little dark in some of the corners, you couldn't see what color and pattern some of the clothes were. Each clothing rod has a nice, wooden shelf above it. So I mounted these LED strips under each shelf, pointed right above each rod, for its entire length. Now the clothes are lit up perfectly. Makes a dramatic difference for closet usability. In one place, there was no shelf above the rod, so I stuck the strip directly to the metal rod itself, along the bottom, so as the hangers slide on the rod, they don't touch the strip. The LED's lights up the clothes below perfectly. So these lights can be mounted to something metal, without shorting them out. I mounted a new outlet to the closet wall, wired to the closet ceiling light. So the outlet is dead until you turn on the closet light switch. I plugged the LED strip power supply into this outlet, so the LED's turn on and off with the closet light switch. It takes a split second for the LED's to light, just how the electronics work, so there is a small delay between when ceiling light is on and LED's is on. The kit was easy enough to setup, although I have electronics and electrical experience. Some things to note: While you can cut the strips to length at set intervals that are marked right on the strips themselves (every third LED), you have to be careful to mount the strip in the same direction it was before you cut it. In other words, ABCDE<cut here>FGHIJK..., when you go to stick the strip that is represented by F-K, make sure the side that is F still points to the side on the other strip where E is (be careful not to flip it around so K and E join, otherwise it won't light, as polarity will be reversed. If you do this by mistake, the LED's will still work once you correct your mistake, jut don't leave them plugged in reversed for a long time, that might burn them out). Note these letters aren't on the strips themselves, just an illustration I made up to explain things. Each LED is mounted to the next on the strip in parallel (electronics term). What this means is, you can connect cut sections of strip in 'series', OR in 'parallel', and the LED's themselves will still be in parallel. In other words, my power supply was in center of closet, and I wanted LED strips to go left and right from there. So I just cut the power supply cord, and spliced in a pair of the red/back wire splice connectors to the power supply leads, so one connector went to the strips to the left, the other to strips to the right. So I wired those strips in 'parallel' to each other and all still worked. I then had to cut each strip, the one on left, and the one on right, and splice in a section of wire (using the same red/black wire splice kits also sold here on Amazon). So when I joined one strip for one closet rod to the next strip for the next rod, these strips were wired in 'series', but again, the LED's themselves are still in parallel, so still light up properly. I used plastic stick on wire conduits from Lowes to hide the wires which connect one strip to the next. This worked well, and gave a more professional finished look. The glue on these strips is very good. Sticks really well. However I made a mistake at one point, and had to remove and restick on strip, and it wasn't a problem at all. I was able to remove it, and remount it, and it still seems just as solidly stuck as the rest of them.Great stuff! The connectors themselves, that you use to join strips where you cut them, are a bit fiddly. Small, detail work, where if you don't get it just right it doesn't make a connection and the lights don't work. You also will want to make sure there is a good strain relief so the wires don't get accidentally pulled out. I used tie wraps to secure these wire connectors to the surface the strips were stuck to. In other places I used an insulated staple, the kind to secure wires in place. But these options may not be available depending on your application. Be sure to devise some means to secure the connectors at each splice, or the lights will be a constant maintenance issue each time something bumps the connector.

This package deal is completely worth the price! You get the LED lights, power supply, an extra power connector, a couple of strip-to-strip connectors, and the remote control cord and remote. All work perfectly so far, and I am quite happy with the functions of the remote. I purchased an LE brand warm tungsten LED strip to use in a craft project, and used the power supply and remote from this package to light them up. I decided to go with tungsten, instead of the daylight LEDs included in this package, just because it suited my project better. The daylight LEDs in this pack look great, and are quite bright...so no problem with them. The adhesive on the back of the light strip seems to be perfect. I have had other strips fall off, because the adhesive isn't the best, but so far so good with these! The remote has several buttons that serve different functions: It has 100%, 50% and 25% brightness buttons, which quickly sets the brightness of the connected LEDs to that percentage. It has Brightness + and - buttons that increase or decrease the brightness of the LEDs in small increments. It has a Mode + and - button that allows you to select different flashing patterns of the lights. It has several patterns to choose from, and there are Speed + and - buttons that increase or decrease the duration of the patterns. I have not used these Modes much, but from what I've tested, it has a normal strobe mode, a 3-flash then pause mode, what seems to be a simulated "lightning" mode, and more. I may utilize this more when I make a new Halloween display I am thinking about! This set was my first time at working with LED strip lights in a craft project. I was completely uneducated with how to wire different lengths of cut LED strips, but after purchasing this and some other connector options, I am excited to do more with them! For my first project, I created a shadow box replica of an old Drive-In Movie Theater that I went to as a kid. I wanted to light the sunset behind the theater screen and tree cutouts, and light the inside of the screen to illuminate the interchangeable movie scenes I printed out. The picture is not great, but you can see how it turned out. (It looks better in person...). I used a strip of 6 LEDs to illuminate the sky, and a strip of 3 LEDs to illuminate inside the movie screen. I connected the two using the ZITRADES 8mm 2Pin 10Pcs LED Strip Connectors I bought off Amazon, and splicing the wires together using electrical tape. I then used the included power supply connector and adapter with the remote control to give it power. So far, so good! I would recommend this LE light kit, and LE lights in general. I have purchased this, warm white, and blue LEDs from them, and they all look and work great!

My sewing machine lit up so well with this. If you are not used to working with these they are easy till you do a corner. Save the headache and get the plastic connector pieces to make corners. It's so much faster and they are only a few bucks. They do not flicker. Work great. Do not get hot. It really does have a dimmer switch on it that works.

I searched for some time for a manually dimmable LED light strip for ambient lighting around the perimeter of our living room. I wanted to be able to set the dimmers where I wanted them and then use an Alexa enabled wall switch to turn them off and on from the wall or through Alexa without having to mess with dimming level each time, and these were perfect. The picture shows them during the day time on the little shelf around the perimeter of the room I built just for this purpose. It's very bright in the room in that picture, the shelf area is painted in bright white eggshell finish, and the shelf is 8-ft in the air, but the glow from the LED lights are clearly visible. The lights seem to be well made and I ran into no troubles installing 4 sets of them. The 3M tape is very sticky, so be careful what you touch it to, because once it's stuck, it's stuck. I had one place that I tried to adjust and the tape pulled the paint off. LOL, I was a lot more careful about placement after that. The set comes with little plastic clips that can be used to hold the LED tape in place and I kept them, but so far I haven't seen the tape starting to peal loose any where. If you only plan to use white light, this is a great option at a great price. I'll probably order a few more sets in the future now that I have a better idea of the kind of lighting I can do with them.

Installed 08-06-2020 Loving it so far. I bought this item to give my outdated husky toolbox a little modern touch with some LED lighting overhead on the top box lid. When I opened this package, I was please to find that the dimmer dial can be disconnected from the LED strip. This to me, is good because if the LED strip ever dies/shorts out, it may be possible to replace the strip and reuse the old dimmer. I went ahead and tested the lighting prior to installation. All LEDs work, super bright white and stay on in all ranges of dimming. Cleaned my toolbox, peeled the protective layer off the double-sided tape, and...oops! It stuck to my shirt. This tape is SUPER sticky. I am sure this will make mounting on any surface a near permanent mount and is an excellent choice for this product. They definitely didn't cheap out like other brands. So I installed it on my lid, making turns in the strip is tricky but there's gaps between the LEDs where you can fold and make a 90 degree angle. Finished the install and the lights look amazing. Now I can easily read paperwork or fix small components when working on a late night project. A literal night and day difference. I can't comment on durability as this is the first day it's been installed, but will update my review if I run into any issues in the future. As of now, I would recommend this product. But keep in mind, this is NOT waterproof, and all the LEDs are exposed.
