BTF-LIGHTING 5050 RGBW RGB+Warm White(2700K-3000K) 4 Colors in 1 LED Tape Light DC12V 5m 16.4ft 60LED/m Multi-Colored IP30 White 12mm PCB for Bedroom Kitchen Home Decoration(No Adapter or Controller)

I bought these 5050 RGBW LEDs along with a BTF-LIGHTING AC100-240V to DC12V6A power supply and a BTF-LIGHTING Zigbee 3.0 C04Z LED Controller for RGBW, after lots of research and a certain amount of educated guessing, and that combination worked flawlessly for me out of the box. The LEDs come with a cable that connects the pin sockets on the end of the strip to individual wires suitable for insertion into the controller. When inserting each wire, pay attention to the wire color! The order of red and green is switched on the controller relative to the pin order on the LED strip, so you'll need to cross-wire the wires. The colors of the wires in the cable that comes with the LED strip matches the pin order on the strip, so just attach the red wire to the "R" socket on the controller and the green wire to the "G" socket, and you'll be fine (unless you're red-green colorblind, in which case, best of luck!). The controller also comes with two sockets marked V+ (power). Attach the black wire to one of them and leave the other one empty. This advice probably applies to their RGBW controller that has a remote control too, but I can't say for sure. If nothing happens when you plug it in, make sure the plug between the wall socket and the power brick is firmly inserted. It took a fair bit of persuasion for me to get it fully seated. Anyway, on to the actual review: the LEDs are spaced close together on the strip, which is good since it makes it easier for the light to diffuse and be less spotty. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there are cut points every three LEDs, which makes it possible to cut the strip to almost any length you want. These cut points do seem to be natural places for the cable to crimp when unwound, though, so be a little careful playing with them before you attach them to something. The colors are pretty spectacular. I can produce a warm, pure, or cool white with these, plus vibrant saturated colors, and the hue stays pretty consistent even as I lower the brightness almost to nothing. The colors produced also match what the app shows, unlike some cheap smart light bulbs I've bought on Amazon in the past. The maximum brightness is very bright indeed. All in all, these lights work exactly as they're supposed to, they're well-made, and setup was way less of a hassle than I anticipated.

These light strips look amazing! I used them for a home project, and I’m really impressed with how vibrant the colors are. The warm white option is what sold me — it gives off a soft, cozy glow that looks great in the evenings, especially in the bedroom or kitchen. The strip feels durable, and the lights are nice and bright without being harsh. It was easy to install, but just a heads-up: it doesn’t come with a power adapter or controller, so you’ll need to get those separately. Once everything’s hooked up, though, the effect is beautiful. Overall, I’m really happy with how it turned out. Great quality for the price, and the lighting makes a big difference in the space.

Nice quality light. Wish it was a bit brighter tho. I use it as lighting for my toolbox hutch

These are by far my favorite LED strips I've used so far. Although they are pricier than the 30 LEDs/m variants, the increased performance is well worth the added cost if you're seeking a completely diffused look. Unfortunately, there's no included remote control, hub, relay, or power supply... so this is just one component of a larger DIY project. Installation is extremely easy; the adhesive backing is extremely strong. Light quality and color reproduction is as excellent. If you're looking to use these in your project, I recommend seeking out some deep channel spotless diffusers, an LED controller, and a power supply for your shopping list.

** Update 26-June-2018 *** BTF Lightning reached out via email and offered a full refund. They did confirm that the adhesive did change in regard to feedback that it was not strong enough. This new adhesive (not 3M) is designed to provide a much stronger initial bond. I was also informed the product description would be updated to reflect that. I believe that for most cases this isn't going to be an issue. The LEDs themselves appear to work very well. P.S. Make sure to note these are 12mm width! Measure twice! *** Not 3M Adhesive! Be warned the other reviews are accurate, these do not use 3M adhesive (double sided tissue tape). Why is that important you may ask? Well for me it's due to the included adhesive on these being too strong, or sets too fast, I had to reposition a strip and the glue literally removed the wood finish on my Ikea shelves. I recognize these are not top of the line shelves but this isn't the first time I've used adhesive stips, this is the first time they removed the finishing off my furniture. I've used many other strips that use 3M adhesive which stick just as well, but if you MUST move it (i.e. during application stage only) it does not tear off the finish with it. Sometimes good adhesive it not just about strength. For example what I usually see on strips with real 3M tape is '3M 9080A Tissue Tape'. These are clearly not using 3M, but EW brand whatever that is. See photos for what is on the back of these, and yes I made sure I was choosing the seller "BTF-Lighting Teachnologly Co., Limited". In the end, these still work but I'm pretty upset about having damaged my furniture.

Ordered three of these. Installed without difficulty. On two of the strips I received, instead of a uniform blue/white, there was a stray green LED. The problem is that the adhesive is not as wide as the strip nor consistently applied straight, so there are points where it is possible for the color pins to short out when used within conductive metal channels such as these . Unlike the waterproof versions, which appear to be dipped in some plastic, the adhesive backing is basically double-sided tape directly applied to the plastic strip with the embedded copper traces. Fortunately, BTF-Lighting was a great company to work with: their US office dispatched replacements covered under their warranty right away and the new versions are perfect without any difficulty. I would highly recommend purchasing RGBWW (and all LED strip products) from a vendor like BTF Lighting that will stand behind their product.

I originally gave this strip 3 stars but have now changed it. The first strip was defective but the seller promptly replaced it. A very responsive seller - BTF-Lighting. My Original review: They don't do Blue all that well but other than that are fine. Greens and Reds are good. It looks like it may be an issue with the strip itself. Working with BTF-Lighing to resolve the issue. They have been extremely responsive. I'll update this as things progress. UPDATE: BTF-Lighting replaced my defective strip with a new one an it works as expected. The blues now work as they should. The new strip works very well. The seller was very responsive and quick to replace a defective unit. I will definitely buy from them again. Installer note: A note to anyone installing this... do yourself a favor and completely check the strip before installing it. Take a multi-meter and do a continuity check between each of the colors on the strip (each - string). There should be no continuity between any of the colors. If you have continuity, you have a short and that color won't work as it should. (Don't make the same mistake I did.)

I have purchased this product several times as an electrical contractor, easy to install and great product. Everyone loves the ambience and the ability to set colors for different holidays

Lovely item but be warned that the strip is a full 12mm wide so it doesn't fit many aluminium profiles. Even some that say they are for 12mm strips don't fit. So great item but just make sure you get a profile with lots of space. Give a wonderful bright light. These really are very nice indeed. Much better spread of light than the older, cheaper strips that have an RGB LED and separate or no white led. Course you pay for it, but if you need high density, even lighting then these are the only option. The strips have a very high density of LEDs and they are super bright. I used them for backlighting a large wall mounted monitor and the overall effect is stunning. The strip has power connections at both ends and you do need to use both if you use more than half the strip. I experimented and found that at full load (120W) the wires will melt if you only use one of the connections. What I do is to cut the strip in to appropriate lengths, no more than 2.5 meters each. You use those kits of connectors to go round corners or add extra power cables. If you want to backlight a TV, that works out at about two individually powered strips that are 1.6m each for a 50" TV. Each strip has one corner in it. It's a fiddly process, but it's worth it. These strips are awesome and the final effect is amazing. The prices is too high now. There are other identical products on Amazon for a lot less money. So while the product is still a great product, you need to fish around for the best price. Highly recommended.

Estaba contento con el producto, tenía unos 10m y daba buena intensidad de lud, ha sido meterle 3 ó 4 metros más y mirad lo que pasa. He visto que el fabricante dice poner 12v en la cola del led, pero no se como se hace, alguien lo sabe? Un saludo

Erleuchten jetzt seit einigen Jahren meine Vitrinen. Ich habe sie mit einem Controller verbunden und so in Apple HomeKit integriert, das klappt wunderbar. Man muss darauf achten, dass man ein ausreichend dimensioniertes Netzteil verwendet, ich hatte lange Zeit ein nerviges Flackern. Dies ist mit dem richtigen Netzteil aber verschwunden.

These work great

A little disappointing as you need to purchase an additional Power Adaptor, as not included. Instructions are also lacking in this package.
