Great

I was looking for a good set up lights for my bathroom and didn't want "LED DOTS". Chip-On-Board (COB) rocks! Also being moisture resistant, these really fit the bill. I mounted them under the vanity using the provided sticky-tape backing. It (mostly) held up. There was a section I needed to reinforce with some stronger double-stick. In the niches I bought aluminum u-channel to further protect them. I coupled them with a PLUSPOE 24V 50W Dimmable LED Driver, 110V AC-24V transformer so I can dim them. I connected them to a Lutron dimmer switch to allow me to dim them using Alexa routines. Then, just because I had some footage leftover, I lit the inside of the cabinet. Amazingly enough, while the under-vanity and niche lights look great, the lights in the cabinet are life-changing. I can now see what's under the sink! Pros: - No "Dots"! - Absolutely not "Dots" - Did I mention - "No dots!" - ok, you can see some dots if you turn it down way-way-dim. - Good 2700K Color (like a standard incandescent bulb) - Dim pretty smoothly (I use these as the nightlight at 1%) - Bright - a 1 ft strip is like a 60 watt bulb - Since they are for a moist environment, they come with their own rubber housing. You can pull it out of the housing if you want to use just the strip. Cons: - Even on dim they are still reasonably bright, I set the Alexa Routine to 1% for night time - Like most LED's it was hard to find decent connectors, I tried three different ones and settled on 3528 2835 2 Pin 8mm LED Strip Connector Biantie La Unwired Clips. These fit into the aluminum U-channel - While the segments (the points at which you can cut the strip) are reasonably small, I ended up with some runs that were a bit short. You can't really see it inside the u-channel though - While you can wrap these around corners, you need to do so by sticking them to a wall, not a ceiling. I made that mistake and it was hard to turn the corner (you can still do it, but it's ugly. You can't see it in my application because it's under the vanity. - I could not get the solderless connectors to work consistently, so I ended up soldering Overall, I'm really pleased with these lights and anyone who has seen my bathroom is as well. I'd highly recommend them

I bought 3 of these and none work. There is absolutely no support to let you know which transformer you need to purchase. I have tried 4 different transformers and none work. Don’t waste your time.

I’m really impressed with this LED strip. It’s a touch on the bulky side, but is well encapsulated for damp environments. The color temp is spot on, the adhesive holds well, and it dims well with an appropriate driver. I am a project manager for an electrical contractor and we sell tons of high end linear LED fixtures from companies that charge staggering prices. This LED strip is as good or better than the bulk of what we install, it is vastly cheaper, and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it all comes from the same factory. I have purchased three runs of this and will be ordering more.
