ELlight LED Strip Lights with APP, Dream Color 32.8ft LED Lights with Multicolor Chasing, Waterproof RGB Rope Lights Kit, 300 LEDs SMD 5050 Flexible Strip Lighting for Home Kitchen

Excellent light-strip - very versatile, awesome light effects and colors, resilient to the elements. It works great for me as outdoor holiday decorations of the house.Many setup possibilities exist - extend, cut & link, run in parallel that add to the versatility of the strip. Also, at longer lengths, the connectors for additional power sources are really helpful and a thoughtful addition to the strip connections.The customer support is excellent as well - I am a repeat customer and was in need of some strip cut & link connectors (these used to be part of the package in the past), the customer support happily shipped me a set of these that arrived quickly.Pros: - easy to install - individually addressable LEDs makes possible amazing light effects - color gamut of the lights - full 8-bit (also known as 16 million colors). As my eyes are a bit color challenged, I can't attest all those 16 million colors can be obtained and/or whether they accurately reflect the programmed values. - power efficient - using 12V is more convenient from the power standpoint (compared to 5V), less current to travel through the wires. - less sensitive to voltage drops - in the cold season I am able to run 3x16ft strips (48ft) on a single 12V 5A source (different source than the one packaged) without visible artifacts. This is already beyond the specifications, but any more length is pushing the limits of the thin wire of the strip that cannot take more current without becoming a hazard. - well protected from the elements - I have mines installed under the gutter and left in place year round, still working great. - overall great mobile app to control the strip, a lot of customizations and controls available - great Bluetooth connectivity range - flexible link and power connections for multiple setup possibilities - good back adhesive, bonus inclusion of 3M pads - Advanced Customers Only: if you are handy with electronics, cutting and linking segments of the light strip is relatively simple and reliable. Of course, connectors are needed beyond what is available in the box, but those are readily available. Hence, the layout possibilities have really no limits. - Advanced Customers Only: the LED and IC are of a common generation (WS2811) that makes it possible to wire different controllers (including DIY) with other variety of light effects or even creating custom onesCons: - no waterproofing for connectors, controller, power supply. It is not advertised that these are waterproof, but it would be nice if some/all of them were. And perhaps up the compliance to IP67 level (full outdoor exposure to elements) - mobile app and controller do not have a credential mechanism such that only the owner can connect as opposed to anyone in range with the app. On my street, the mobile app can pick up the signal from one of my neighbors as well.Great product, support and I'd recommend it. With the Holidays season upon us, it is an excellent choice. Happy lighting!

*Note, I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I had purchased a product from this seller in the past and due to some feedback I had, I believe they felt I would be a good candidate to review their product.This is a review of the ELight 32.8ft LED Lights with preset patterns all set thru a bluetooth controller. Overall I believe this is a very good product that could use some tweaking in the bluetooth app to make it a really great product.The LED's when plugged in start in a pre-set pattern. To my knowledge, there is no way to change colors or patterns without the bluetooth app itself. Once set, if you like the pattern and want to unplug or turn off the light set at a 120V switch, it appears that they come on to the last setting which is nice.The app itself is useful and there are 120 patterns to choose from, including chasing, fading, alternating, etc. Setup is pretty straightforward and I did not have any issues finding the app or connecting to the product. The included instructions do a decent job of illustrating how to do this.The LED strips come in two approximately 16' reels, both of which must be plugged into the controller. There does not appear to be a way to connect the two 16' reels in series end-to-end without some additional components. To make 32', you'd need the controller in the middle, and run 16' in either direction. Some additional components appear to be available from the seller. The set comes with some sticky-backed clips which can secure the LED's to a surface, and the LED strips themselves also have a long continuous adhesive which allows you to stick them to almost any clean surface. This appears to be the same adhesive as on the last set I bought, which was very good.The LED's say waterproof on Amazon but "splash-proof" in the instructions. I am not sure if they carry a specific "IP" rating. Without that info, I would not submerge these or put them in an area where they will be frequently wet just to be safe. The controller and power supply are not wet-listed and must be kept dry.I would like to see some tweaking on the app to make things a little clearer and more customizable. There does not appear to be a clear way to shut off the lights in the app. If you turn the brightness all the way down, it shuts them off, but I'm not sure if that's the intent. With the preset patterns, you can't change the colors it uses, just the speed of the pattern and the brightness. You can switch to a custom color mode, but it is a solid custom color and brightness, no patterns are available.This product would be great for entertaining areas and parties, and with some extra customization on the app, you could in theory choose two colors for a few patterns for holidays, or your favorite team's colors, school colors, etc. There are some preset patterns which have holiday-ish colors, but it would just be nice to be able to set this.

I am not sure if the lights are as bad as they seem, or if "user error" plays a big part too. The lights have a mind of their own, they don't work consistently and the app is wonky. You will need to have a lot of patience, and a lot of time, and your favorite four letter words to work with these lights.
