Works perfectly! Very bright and is adjustable if I want it dimmer. Many colors to choose from and very responsive. The adhesive seems very sticky and didn’t come off easily so I’m expecting it to stay on for a very long time.

This review is for the “65.6ft Led Strip Lights, Tenmiro Ultra-Long RGB LED Lights Strip 5050 LED Tape Lights Flexible Color Changing LED Lights with 44 Keys IR Remote for Bedroom, Kitchen, DIY Home Decoration(4X16.4ft)” sold by NIGHTSPARKLE
Included in the box is a remote, a power-brick style power supply (12v DC 5A), 4 spools of LED Strip lights, the IR based controller, an IR remote (with 4 legs to connect the 4 strips to), connecting hardware, and a small brochure.
The lights on the strip can be set on a good array of colors. When selecting a color or pattern, the same color and pattern goes across all 4 strips. These LEDs are NOT individually addressable. If you want to have that functionality, like light chasing patterns, or each LED to be of a different color than its neighbors, then you need to look at a different style of LED Strip (look for DREAMCOLOR or “Chasing LED’s” in the descriptions).
The lights are NOT WEATHER PROOF or WATERPROOF. These lights were designed to be in an indoor configuration as the diodes for the LED are simply surface mounted and exposed to the environment with no protection on a carrier strip. So behind a TV, under inside cabinets and molding, and accent lights for a room or under a bed would be a great place to put these.
The adhesive on the strip looks to be “just barely strong enough” to hold it in place. So if you intend to have it mounted for a longer time, I would suggest looking into adding or replacing the adhesive that comes with the strips or using some mounting hardware or dedicated LED strip mounting channels. If you want to beef up the adhesive, 3M makes great adhesive tapes for this need.
The strip itself is basically a flexible circuit board where the diodes and other surface mount components are affixed. The LEDs are 50x50mm and each LED carrier contains separate diodes for Red, Green, or Blue in the physical package. While this configuration does give great color for the 3 primary colors, giving combinations of colors (like an orange, or a yellow, or a white) is not as pure as what you might be expecting, but all in all still pretty good. The strips have cut areas about every 6.5” so you can trim the length of the strip to match most desired lengths. Each section has 3 LED packages on it, giving an equivalent of 3 Red, 3 Green, and 3 Blue LED’s per strip. There is no additional “white” LED (cold or warm) on this strip.
If you do choose to cut and splice, make sure you get the 4 conductor connectors for LED strips. It is possible to buy extra connecting hardware to splice back in cut lengths together — however, I would suggest keeping the total length of one powered run as what was provided by the factory — unless you can engineer in more +12V power supplies. From what I have seen as “standard issue”, a 12V 1.25A supply should power 1 leg of 5M (16.5’) of LEDs.
The Remote is Infra-Red — you have to point the remote at the IR LED that comes off the controller. If you don’t have a clear line of sight between the remote and the controller, you won’t be able to control the lights. If you want to have it so that you can control it via Radio signals, look for a replacement controller that does support RF operations.
This controller is NOT MUSIC / SOUND sensitive.
The Power supply is sufficient to power the four included rolls of LED Strip lighting with no apparent issues. The power supply cord from the wall to the power brick is a little on the short side ( about 18” ) and the length from the power brick to the barrel connector was about 3 feet — and is as usually expected for a generally sourced 12v 5A power adapter. It is 2 pronged which is typical for the US power grid, and this version did not have interchangeable power connectors in case you wanted to install these in UK, FR, etc.
So, again, these strips function as specified, so no issues there. Just make sure that these give you the ability to get you the quality of light you need and only use these indoors in an average humidity environment.

I was a little bit nervous to put these up, as I was never really sure how they worked, but the strips were fairly easy to set up. The instructions were somewhat unclear as to the connection of a series of strips. For those as bamboozled as myself: cut the end off the first strip, cut the beginning off of the second strip, and use the included plastic snap connectors to create a continuous strip of light. Make sure the strips are in the correct orientation with the contacts matching on both sides. You can bend the metal arms on the inside of the plastic connector if you have difficulty getting the ends of the strips inserted.
Otherwise, these are more or less your typical basic LED strips. They provide excellent mood lighting but aren’t sufficiently luminous for visually intensive tasks. These particular strips are somewhat lacking in features, with four non-customizable color changing modes and no Bluetooth support. The remote and receiver have enough range for any standard sized bedroom, but the control box must be within line of sight due to the use of infrared. This small issue is exacerbated by the unnecessarily short power lead. The cord is barely able to reach my outlet from 10ft ceilings.
One last thing worth mentioning is that these go further than I would have expected. I only needed about two and a half of the four strips included to line the perimeter of my ceiling. Ultimately, I think that these are plenty functional for the price, bearing in mind the caveats previously mentioned.

If you’re skeptical and wondering which of the many many led strip lights to get. Be glad you found this one. None of the other can seem to stick properly. But with this one I can stick and restick as many times as needed!! Awesome bonus in case you misplaced or want to redesign. The lights spaced perfectly apart, and the remote is very responsive. The DIY section is awesome, you can program it any way you want.

Didn’t work for my diffused LED channel enclosures. The LEDs are too far apart and defeats the purpose for them. Not the brightest leds either but they would be cool for someone else I guess.

My kiddos are obsessed with having these LED lights on their bed! They come with a remote cobtrol and installation is as easy as : wipe surface, peel and stick. I did use some black electrical tape to help it bend around some of the awkward curves and stay securely installed. These have so many color options and different flash/fade modes.
LED light strip kit comes with:
4 reels of 16.4ft LED light strips
AC Power Adapter
44-KEY IR remote Control
controller
Instruction Manual
These are seriously cool!

As part of her room redecoration, my daughter wanted to add strip lights around the entire ceiling. I was happy to find set that was actually long enough for the entire ceiling without having to find strips to add to it. We looked at several different sets for not only the features of the lights, but the remote control as well. My daughter wanted this remote because of the way she could get the colors adjusted, the ability to dim them, and the ability to change the sequence, all very easily from one remote without having to use her phone. She put them up herself without any assistance from me and she’s only 12 years old. None of the strip has fallen or puckered. The set is actually 4 strips with connectors. The connectors blend in and are virtually unseen.
