DAYBETTER COB LED Strip Light, Dimmable 16.4 ft Natural White LED Strips with Remote and App Control, Perfect for Bedroom, TV, Cabinet, Closet Lighting

What a fantastic LED light kit, and especially at the price! I have bought TWO of these kits so far, and may get more...BASICS - It's a powered box that has 3 pigtails - 2 for the LED strips, and 1 that is the remote receiver. So plan accordingly.... You'll want the remote received to be visible or the remote will not work very well as it's IR (infrared) so needs line-of-sight. Also, the 65-feet of LED strip is in TWO pieces - so there's 2 rolled strips that are each about 32.5 feet long (I didn't bother measuring for exactness as I installed while unrolling). So again, plan accordingly on how to route your light strips prior to installing.PRE-INSTALLATION - IMPORTANT!!! - You have to CLEAN the surface you are going to install the LED strips on. Yes, dust gets on the ceiling... No, you didn't just clean it last week... haha! Don't kid yourself. And by clean, I don't mean a fluffy duster... I mean get a wet paper towel (wet with hot water, evaporates/dries faster) and clean the crown-molding / walls / ceiling / etc where you will be installing the lights. The LED strips are sticky-backed. And they stick well.... TO CLEAN SURFACES. They'll stick to dust, for a few minutes, then they'll be on the floor. Do yourself a favor, clean the installation surface, and they'll be stuck for a long time.INSTALLATION - Once you have your base plan for installation, I installed with the LED strips plugged in, so I knew things were working as I went. Unroll some of the strip, plug it in, then start peeling the backing off the strip and press it down as you go. I pulled it tight and then stick it down about a foot out to keep it straight, then go back and press down all along in between, repeating each foot. The bedroom in the pics has been installed since March - so 5 months so far, zero issues.Installation side note: I did get an accessories kit when doing my cabinet - ASIN B011BD2B5Q which allows you to cut and/or join strips either straight or 90-degree angles.If you need to cut a strip short, whether to simply terminate the installation, or for joining purposes, there are marked cut points - cut at those points to avoid messing up any of the electronics. I used really sharp scissors, but wire cutters would work as well.LIGHTS / CONTROL - This kit includes a remote control with on/off and various light control buttons. You can set direct to certain colors or select from several fade modes, and several audio modes. I don't use the audio modes, so can't comment on those. I mostly use the "fade" modes where the light slowly cycles thru the spectrum, fading from color to color. These light strips change colors all at once, meaning all LEDs are the same color, and fade as such in unison. This kit does not offer a "chase" mode whereby the lights change in a chasing pattern along the ​LED strips.I have installed 2 of these kits - one in my sons bedroom, and the other in a corner curio I'm using for a liquor cabinet. The cabinet has mirrors on the back sides, so I installed the control box at the top, behind the upper lip, then drilled holes and ran the LED strips down the inner edge, across the bottom/inside wall below the glass, then back up the inside corner. Directly, none of the LEDs are visible, but obviously there's reflections from the back mirrors. But once the bottles are in place, you see less of the reflected LEDs and it just looks fantastic.SIMILAR ITEMS - I did also buy the "newer model" that has the bluetooth capability.... Sent that one right back. I have a comparison picture of the LED strips. THIS model has LED's about every inch. The "newer" model that has bluetooth has HALF as many LEDs with them being on the strip bout every 2 inches. I preferred THIS model with the higher LED count versus having bluetooth capability. So just be aware if you're considering the other models offered by Daybetter.SUMMARY - VERY happy with this kit. Installation is simple. Remote control works. Good concentration of LED with them being spaced about every inch.

PERFECT brightness and color. It was easy to tape the strip along the ceiling. The dimming options allow for just enough light needed for whatever I need. I have tried two other options but those were blindly bright or didn’t provide enough light. Great product!!

Right after I bought them I noticed how the lights didn't seem to turn off completely there was a dim light coming from the led lights even after I turned them off with the remote, only way to completely turn them off was to disconnect them. I was fine with that however I noticed that after a month the colors faded, what was supposed to be white was white with strips of yellow and over time is started happening with other colors too. I was disappointed because several friends have had led lights for over a year and none seem to have this problem although we paid the same price for them.
