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

Not happy went with a bigger stronger setup

I bought this to light the inside of my 17 foot diameter tent. I wasnt sure if it would be bright enough based on just the description alone. I bought one strip and figured Id get another one later, if needed. As it turned out, the second one wasnt necessary. One strip is plenty bright. I didnt need to use the adhesive backed tape, as the tent had some small strings running the circumference inside. I simply looped the light strip around these and it stayed perfectly. I am running it off of an RV/Marine deep cycle battery. So I ran a line from the battery into the tent and hooked it up to a switch. Then I ran a line from the switch to the lights and now I have real indoor lighting inside my tent. No flashlights or lanterns required. These worked out very well. I would buy again if I ever need more.

***Update*** Still have issues with adhesive but I used a staple gun and made my own improvements. The lights themselves work great and look awesome. I received my package last week and I ordered the power source separately so I had to wait for that before I set the lights up. I set up my lights early evening yesterday and this morning I came downstairs and they were already drooping. I would’ve given it a higher rating if they adhesive worked better, as they looked great when I first set them up.

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

They’re what they’re suppose to be.

I got these lights over other similar ones because they were cheaper, and the reviews still looked decent. And theyre just that; decent. Very bright light, so I suggest purchasing a dimmer. Also, they are NOT resistant to humidity. Since its midsummer and I like to enjoy the milder days, Ive used command strips in periodic places along the lights to keep them up. But I cant really complain, since they were such a bargain. Theres room for improvement, but I was satisfied enough to buy another one for another room.

Replaced exterior accent lighting on my camper. These were a perfect replacement. Easy to install by myself. They have good adhesive backing and are brighter than the old ones.

These seem like fine LEDs at a fair price. I believe Im not alone at running into adhesion problems. In my case, I was sticking the LEDs to a painted steel I-beam, so I think the surface was clean and had a good texture for adhesion, and temperature cant be a cause of failure (because the I-beam would dissipate any heat immediately). However, this was in a high-humidity basement environment, and so Im not terribly surprised that the adhesive only worked for a few days. In all honesty, I was expecting to need to do something else to adhere the LEDs rather than using the built-in adhesive strip, so Im not terribly disappointed.

The only complaint I have about this would be that the color temperature seems a bit off. I ordered the warm white which should be around 3000k and it looks a bit more white/blue almost. I have it installed in a room next to a different brand of warm white 3000k leds and there is a significant difference. It’s not a huge deal but definitely noticeable. For a isolated application it’s a good light. Not super bright but bright enough. Dimming works great.

I have used for 2 projects. 1 was on brand new shellaced shelves. Adhesive stuck great then fell off 2 days later. I ended up using 3m foam tape to hold. 2nd project was a large mirror frame. Surface was clean latex paint. Same result. Stuck aggressively. Even pulled paint off if repositioned. 2 days later entire light strip was laying on the counter. I need to get another light strip for this application.
