BTF-LIGHTING FCOB COB LED Strip RGBW 3000K 896LED/m 16.4FT DC24V Color Changing Flexible High Density Uniform Light 12mm Width for Home Indoor Decoration(No Adapter or Controller)

Great product. Very bright and easy to use

I used a lot of LEDs for projects. Overtime as technology has improved, I have gravitated to these as my standard. Not only are they COB, so much cleaner looking and more uniform, but they have the white LED added so you really have full spectrum depending on the use case.

The LEDs are very bright and though you can see the individual LEDs shining through the protective cover, the light is diffused by the opaque color of the cover. Color changes are smooth and even across the strip.Things are not perfect though. The remote is goofy. Four of the color buttons are mislabeled or misprogrammed. E.G. the green button turns the strip red and the red button turns the strip green. Same swictheroo for the pin and cyan buttons. It's annoying.Also, this LED kit is not cheap. It's sort of a "premium" offering. As such I expected 3M adhesive tape on the back but it's non-branded. Time will tell how long/how well the sticky stuff stays sticky, but 3M is a known-good adhesive. I would've liked to see it.Time will tell how well the LEDs hold up, but that's my initial out of the box review.

I put these both over and under our kitchen cabinets for indirect lighting and we love them. What's good about these for this purpose is the LEDs are close together and they are covered with a built in diffuser which allows for more uniform light (no light spotting from each individual LED).I'm controlling these with a SP530e controller and it works fine. Phone app is pretty decent. See my review on it for more details.I'm powering these with Mean Well 24v power supplies (selected them based on reviews) and they work well. Again, see my separate review on it for more details.I also bought the kit of plastic crimp connectors & splice wires, but that kit garbage (see my review on that product for details). Do yourself a favor if you buy this LED light strip and buy some 18 gauge wire and a good soldering iron instead (if you don't already have one) and solder the wires directly to the LED strip.Be aware that these LED strips can only do a single color of your choice at any point in time (no chasing patterns), which was fine for our kitchen. I also bought some of the FCOB IC version to put on our deck (party area) as those can do multi color patterns such as chasing, but I don't have those installed yet.

Surprisingly bright and durable. I've been skunked by LEDs off of Amazon, but these might be the best I've come across. I do a ton of projects with LEDs and have already reordered this product twice now.Adhesion could be better so plan to add some hot clue to corners.

I purchased this kit thinking that it would simplify the DIY aspect of my project and me not having to piece the necessary components together. While the idea is very nice and convenient, the execution of this idea was poor. I bought these to use under my kitchen cabinets, only parts I had to supply was extra wire for sectioning and separating the lights. The first time I plugged them in, the power supply blinked twice, then hummed, and the switch started smoking. After that, the lights never came on again, and now the switch just smokes within 5 minutes of plugging them in. I would return them if I could, but unfortunately the LED strip is all cut to lengths of my cabinets.

I’m at my wits end and tons of money down the drain on these. Do not buy them if you have any intention of cutting them and using connectors. These have to be soldered because they aren’t the standard width for connectors. I’m furious. I’ve bought dozens of clips and spent weeks trying to figure this out and missed the return window for all of it. Over $100 wasted on this. Save yourself the trouble and money and buy an out of the box solution or literally any other strips. I’m furious.

I got a set of these to install in the ceiling of my screened in porch for mood lighting. They are fantastic and work perfectly with the recommended wireless controller module. I plan to install more in my theater room. The only drawback was that the included splicing connectors are only intended for connecting wires to the end of a cut section. They do not work for splicing two cut ends together, but this would not be a concern for most purchasers I imagine. You can cut easily these strips and attach wire leads to the resulting segments so they can be used independently. And... most important, they look fantastic!
