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.

I have had these installed on the eaves of my home for the past year. They are bright! Love the vivid colors. After a year, I can also say they are durable! Absolutely love being able to set my eaves to different colors!

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.

I bought these to install in a motorhome renovation. Other reviews may say they are spliced together from 0.5m strips -- they are. Circuit boards cannot be infinitely long, so it is understandable that they are spliced together from shorter lengths. This should not affect the performance/lifetime of the strip. However you may want to be careful when bending on the spliced joints. Consider cutting the strip and running wires to complete the bend if you must bend it at a solder joint. As far as the adhesive goes, I haven't used it yet and don't really plan to. I don't think any double sided tape (that won't tear off paint with it) will last the lifetime of the installation. There are clips readily available to screw these on the wall and avoid using adhesive. I bought clips for "10mm IP67/68" LED strips. There are also conduit channels that diffuse the light and provide a clean, flat surface for the adhesive to grip onto. A non-porous, flat surface free of oils/contaminants is ideal if you're using the adhesive. It is pressure activated adhesive so make sure to firmly press down all areas of the strip to achieve good adhesion. The warm white color is pleasant. I have had other LED strips with retina-piercing brightness and hues. These will do nicely for indirect ambient lighting for nighttime (especially while on the road). You will want to install these strips so they provide indirect or diffused light. Otherwise the brightness may give you a headache after a while of staring at bare LEDs. I measured current draw of the complete 5M strip at 12V for each color. I applied 12V directly to the each color with no dimming applied. The results I got are below: Warm White: 1.342A @ 12V (16.104 Watts) Blue: 1.162A @ 12V (13.944 Watts) Red: 1.288A @ 12V (15.456 Watts) Green: 1.136A @ 12V (13.632 Watts) Total: 4.928A @ 12V (59.136 Watts) So the recommended 6A/12V power supply should be sufficient. You may want to increase your margin a bit if you want a more robust installation. You likely won't be running the LEDs at full brightness a lot though. Overall, they're good quality at a great price. Unless you maybe go with a super premium brand costing 3X more you're likely getting the same product as anywhere else in terms of quality and longevity.

Striscia led 5 mt. rgbww conforma a quanto in descrizione. Funziona bene. L'unica modifica che ho fatto è taglarla in due ed alimentare individualmente i due tronconi da 2,5 mt per evitare cadute di tensione e quindi variazioni di tonalità. Il biadesivo sotto alla striscia non è particolarmente forte ma comunque sufficiente. La consiglio

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.

Funcionan muy bien pero la app de smart life esta muy limitada en las escenas. Acabo de comprar una govee m1 y muchisimo mas versatil y ya con el controlador, eliminador y app incluido. Lo unico que extraño en la govee son las automatizaciones directamente con los switches en smart life

These work great

Ich habe den 5m RGBW LED Stripe genutzt um eine passive Spiegelbeleuchtung herzustellen. Ich bin sehr positiv angetan von dem Produkt. Meines Erachtens stimmen Preis-Leistung hier total. Der Strip ist präzise gefertigt (12mm), lässt sich prima Verarbeiten und liefert schöne Farben. Die Ansteuerung des Strips erfolgt über ein GLEDOPTO LED ZigBee Controller zur Anbindung an ein Philips Hue System. Verbaut wurde die Stripes in weißen INNOVATE Aluminium Profilen (2000mm x 17mm x 7mm) mit milchiger Abdeckung. Den Strom für 3,4m des Stripes liefert ein HuaTec Eaglerise 12V LED Trafo (60W). Aufgrund der sehr flachen Bauweise des Trafos (17mm) und des GLEDOPTO Controllers (23mmm) sind beide Geräte prima für die Montage hinter einem Spiegels geeignet.
