Great LEDs stripe at good price – 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:
Bright leds
Many light functions
Remote
Cons:
Instructions miss some information.
Controller marked pin has no equivalent on the stripe connector (one needs to guess)
Combined light does not match remote colour buttons
Miss strobe function for single colour
End cap incorrectly fitted (not watertight)
Other:
Initially i used a transformer with output voltage selector (1.5-12 v) but the stripe only lighted the green and remote was not working.
I discovered then that the transformer failed to deliver all the current so voltage dropped and controller was not working properly.
In the end i used a external hard-disk transformer and controller worked ok.
Bottomline:
Good price for what is offered
