Tasodin Water-Resistance IP65, 12V Waterproof Flexible LED Strip Light, 16.4ft/5m Cuttable LED Light Strips, 300 Units 3528 LEDs Lighting String, LED Tape(Warm White), Power Adapter not Included

They’re what they’re suppose to be.

The recommended 2A 12v power supply is barely adequate for the full strip. Although it may work, good luck not burning out the supply. I wouldn’t run the full strip on less than 2.5 A. The LEDs use 4.8 watts per meter. Plan accordingly. Rule of thumb is use 80% of rated power max.

I use these lights (in blue) for night effects on a model railroad. Theyre generally doing well, but the lighting makes whites and some light colors pop out, creating a slight unnatural black lighting or dayglow effect. Adhesion usually is a problem with this type of LED strip light, but this can be solved by using a PVA glue: the adhesive backing on the strips will hold long enough for the PVA to dry.

For waterproofing, this strip has a dome of clear plastic covering its length. That dome makes the strip too thick in its profile to accept the splicing connectors included with it, which are made for a flatter strip. Otherwise, its probably a fine product. Also, it does not include any indication of how much wattage is necessary to power the entire strip, nor any wattage per unit of length. The only clue they give is a recommendation to purchase a 24W power adapter.

We wanted dim lighting for a staircase on our boat. They were mounted inside a diffuser so adhesive and brightness were not an issue.

Very nice upgrade to my original lights. Easy to install. Very bright. But after about a year the silicone itself is turning yellow. The lights are just as bright. But when I first installed the lights they blended in with the ceiling. Now they look like yellow stripes going across the ceiling. I still like them. But Im not happy with the look. #2 review. After time the LED strip lights continue to yellow and I will replace them soon. I have no other yellow nothing in my house. Does not look good.

What happens when you cross low-cost/quality manufacturing with electricity? A fire risk. Enter this water-resistant LED light strip. After un-boxing I plugged it into an old 12V router power supply I had sitting around. Oddly, only about half the strip lit up before fading out. I put a couple pics up to show everyone what I mean. Curious as to how much was lit vs un-lit, I unrolled it and went out to find a tape measure. Because my garage currently looks like it could be on the next episode of hoarders, it took me about five minutes to find. This number is important, because when I came back inside I smelt the unmistakable smell of melting plastic. I quickly measured the lit portion at about 8 ft(out of 16) and went to unplug. Thats when I found out where that smell was coming from, the supplied 12v female plug was almost too hot to touch! I assume the +/- leads were somehow in contact with one another inside. This would lead to a drop in voltage and explain why there wasnt enough power for the entire strip of LEDs. So, I quickly snipped that off an soldered on another one I had sitting around and voila, the entire light strip now worked and I was no longer worried about burning my house down. Two stars for looking nice once fixed, minus 3 stars for the might catch something on fire issues. ***My Rating Criteria*** Build Quality(47.5%) - 0.0 Stars Efficacy(47.5%) - 3.0 Stars Post-Sale Support(0.0%) - n/a Packaging/Presentation(5.0%) - 5.0 Stars WEIGHTED AVERAGE(100.0%) - 1.7 STARS

I used these for rear parking lights and under glow on my golf cart, and it is awesome. The product is great. I had to cut a few pieces and I had a difficult time getting the plastic replacement ends to work. Once I figured out how to get them to work it was a lot easier. The adhesion on the back isnt great, I used 3M super weather strip adhesive to get them to stick to my golf cart, but I was still very happy with them.

I ordered warm white but it seems that the color is rather cold white. Brightness is quite good. But the major problem is that the back adhesive is not strong enough to hold the light strip’s own weight when mounting overhead. I put it underneath the roof of a plastic shed’s roof (cleaned the surface first with denatured alcohol). The next day the strip was on the floor. I had do use another double sided tape for mounting.

These lights are well with the money. They are easy to work with and the silicone coating really makes it nice. My only complaint is that the adhesive isnt all that great, but thats easy to overcome with a little hot glue. I work at a bar and leave the lights on the entire time 4-6 hour at a time.
