Very nice LED strip – Waterproof RGB 150x5050 SMD LED Multicolored Light Strip (5-Meter/DC 12V) Reviews

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

Pros:
+ Price, 150 RGB-LEDs, pre-made strip, controller. Usually costs 2-5x more than this. - Color mixing, you don't really see the separate R, G and B any more. - Ease of use, plug-and-play
Cons:
- Not that many colours - No (3M) glue-strip
Other:
I've also used sku14852, which is similar but costs $20 more. The only real differences I can spot are the controller+remote (this one is better) and the fact that this one has a sort of protection tube, where sku14582 has a glue-strip on the back. I'm planning to cut parts of the LED strip to use in projects where I'll make my own controller. So I would prefer the glue strip over the protection tube, but then again this one is $20 cheaper.
Bottomline:
Ver goo product for it's price. In Europe you can't even get the components for this kind of price, let alone the finished product.
