I have just started playing around with LED lighting and plan to do lots of it. This was one of the options I was hoping to use in the kitchen as indirect lighting under the cabinets but they really aren't birght enough for that purpose. Instead, I will be using them along the top of the cabinets as accent lighting. A better pick for under the counter would be 5050 LED strips and buying in bulk. These are useful but not they way I originally intended.

I put them up over my work bench for extra light. They are not super bright, perfect for my use. With standard shipping they arrived in two days. Very happy with my purchase. Great price as well!

This product worked for 5 minutes then it just broke. The power cord and everything was fine, i just pulled it out of the terrible packaging plugged it in and turned it on and then it just died, could not get it back on and tried my grandpas outlets too.

Honest reviews on Universal LED Remote Controlled Light Strip - Used for Night Light

Went through the same drill as Badabing did. Same results, :( Ended up putting the LED strip in aluminum channel and lacing monofilament line down its length, then screwing that channel up under the shelf. The remote works....eventually, but when working has a nice "show-off" reward.

Apparently LED technology has surpassed sticky tape technology, at least in China.

I bought two sets of these lights for twin bookshelves in my office. They worked great right out of the box. The remote from one works with the other set as well. The remote works fine, even from across the room. The lights are bright enough to light the book case top shelf, but I wouldn't use them for task lighting (such as working on a model airplane or something like that), there are much better light solutions for such things. I like that the LEDs can be dimmed with the remote as well, nice feature to have.

Installation was very simple. I drilled a hole in the back of the bookcase, threaded the LED strip through, stuck the power box and remote sensor to the back of the bookcase (keeping the eye of the sensor sticking out the side of the case), and plugged it in. I cut the LED strip to the right length, peeled the cover on the adhesive backing, and stuck them to the ceiling of the bookcase. It looked fantastic. The other one was even easier because I already knew how long to cut the strip of lights.

Unfortunately, the first set failed to remain stuck and I found them on the shelf the next day. I stuck them back up and pressed harder... no luck, a few hours later they came down again. I used some heavy duty doublesided tape next. I put a strip of tape the entire lenght of the bookcase top and stuck the light strip on it with a lot of pressure. This lasted another day and they came down again. The adhesive on the back of the light strip is just very inadequate (by the way, the bookcase is all wood).

I finally resorted to tacking the light strip up with heavy duty staples. This worked but was a real pain to accomplish. The second set seemed to stick...for about three days, then BAM it came down too. Staples for that sucker as well.

All in all, I would recommend these if you have a better way to adhere them to the surface you're using.
