ALITOVE 16.4ft 5050 SMD Red LED Flexible Strip Ribbon Light 5M 300 LEDs Waterproof IP65 DC 12V for Home Garden Commercial Area Lighting

These lights deliver. They actually have what appears to be genuine 3M tape . They stay in place and they are bright.

Love the rich color, very bright & impressive in our red, white & blue display.

These are bright and look great outdoors. Also, very easy to cut and solder extension wires to add blank spaces.

Did not stick very good

Pros: Easy to cut and reattach with separately sold LED strip connectors and wire. Bright lights. Dont get too warm with the proper power adapters. Cons: Adhesive is pretty bad. I have had to use 3Ms double sided tape to hold them up in most areas and that still required quite a bit of that. Overall they get the job done at a cheap price point. If you want to make them Alexa enabled, just get an outlet or powerstrip that is compatible with Alexa.

Super bright lights.

Purchased a roll of these lights to wrap a 4 ft fiberglass pole to make a whip light for my side by side. First roll I got was great... adhesive was strong and held the lights in place while I wrapped the pole. Got to the end and was able to get the heat shrink tubing over it and everything went without any problems. Light whip looks and functions great... nice and bright and I love the black PCB look. HOWEVER... THAT WAS THE EXCEPTION!!! Bought another roll to do another fiberglass pole and before I could wrap 2 feet of the pole I started hearing this faint popping sound. The silicone covering started to crack and peel in several areas. By the time I had 3 feet wrapped the silicone was flaking off... no way I was going to be able to make that work. Peeled it off the pole and sent it back and ordered a replacement. Third roll just arrived and I set to work on making the second light whip. Everything went great. Got the pole wrapped without any issues... same as the first. Then, as I began to work the shrink wrap over the lights and pole I began to hear that faint popping again. By the time I got the shrink wrap over the pole there were no less than 20 pieces of silicone flaking off the light strip. I went ahead and heated the wrap getting some of the silicone to re-seat on the led strip, but several either broke off inside the wrap or would not lay down agains the lights and so there are several bumps and divots all up the pole. Now the casual person will not see them, and you certainly wont know they are there at 50mph running through the desert. But I KNOW THEY ARE THERE, and I know the poor quality of this product. The description states Using flexible copper circuit board, you can gently bend it to an arc. Please NEVER rudely bend it to right or acute angle, otherwise the circuit board and silicone coating will crack. Well, I didnt rudely bend it to 90 or any acute angle... I wrapped to around a fiberglass rod and it cracked. Not happy with the end result... it still works so for now I will use it, but I think when I decide to re-build the light (and I will as I am very particular about my things) I will look at other brands of lights. Its too bad really... they looked like quality lights from their appearance. Oh yeah... one last thing. The picture shows them wound on the roll with the lights facing out, but when you get them, the lights are wound to the inside so the silicone coating is already set OPPOSITE to how you are going to mount the lights, so from the very start you are risking the silicone cracking because it is pre-conditioned to bend up... so no wonder when you flex them down around something they crack.

Satisfait

I needed very small LED red lights for a project. these worked perfectly.

Nice warm britenes! Cool blue glow
