> 24 hourRe-write of review....like others I have had the same problem with leds detaching, they work well but was hoping I had the answer for the adhesive issue, guess not. :( I will gorilla glue it back on tomorrow. Shipped quick and everything came together. Probably didnt need to order the extra add-ons that were suggested (did not use) but did use about six feet of the plain wire suggested for the short run to the power source. Adhesion seems to be mentioned quite a bit in other comments. I used a alcohol pad but you could use alcohol and a clean rag to clean the surface your adhering to....I had to pull off about 3 feet to fix a gap I left under a little section and it pulled off way to easy but I re-attached and it is holding up fine. It was the perfect size for a golf cart roof with about 18 leftover.....cut it and added my plain wire to power/switch and it works great. Very bright!!!

> 24 hourThese lights work well but are not very bright. If wanting bright led strip Id go with the double row strip.

> 24 hourThese lights are super bright and they’re a great color. However, they get super hot when left on for a while, and the adhesive on the back pooped out after 3 days. If you buy these lights, buy some aluminum led strip channels to go with them and keep them away from anything highly flammable. Good for $15 but if you’re looking for a premium product, keep looking!

> 24 hourThis is a rgb strip with NO controller to be clear. Since I already had a cok controller, this was no problem for me. The 5050 rgb were placed in my fish tank (not submerged) and they look great for its price. The adhesive was actually surprisingly super strong and probably the strongest ones out of any rgb strips with 3m backing on them. Overall, solid product (for now) and havent had a single problem yet. Would recomend

> 24 hourI received this LED light strip on June 6, installed under my kitchen cabinets June 10, today is June 20 and the LEDs are burnt out in 3 places! Also extremely hot to touch. My other LED light strips (different brand) are warm but not hot. I guess you get what you pay for! I do not recommend this product.

> 24 hourSo I ordered both the white and blue versions of these and it started burning out. I had them not as well ventilated and the power supply was reading 12.5V so I improved ventilation and reduced voltage to 11.5V (I had a power supply with a pot for minor voltage adjustments). They worked fine for a couple weeks so I went to see if it was just the ventilation and put the power supply back to 12.5V. They started burning out again in the next day. These strips are way too sensitive to voltage with 0.5Volt above normal operating being enough to burn them out. If you run them lower then 12Volts you might be okay, but make sure you check voltage before connecting.

> 24 hourIn RVs the overhead bins are high and deep in most cases. I needed to get a flashlight to see in them so I purchased some aluminum track, glued it in place, placed the led tape in this track to help heat dissipation. using a button switch from amazon i now have great light when opening the door. The light is even across and not in my eyes as I placed them away to shine back. Ordered two more rolls and am now busy lighting all cabinets and drawers in my motorhome.

> 24 hourI have ordered about 6 of these now. I really like them because their black and not white like every other strip on the market. They stick really good as long as you clean the surface with alcohol or something similar. Their bright and great for the money but the only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because the leads are shorter then I appreciate and I have had trouble with 1 strip breaking. Im not sure that it was the strips fault.
