Ownership verified by DX Very durable!

Pros: Very durable metal housing.
Clean design.
Looks very professional
Can be serialconnected

Cons: ONE COLOR PR LED!
When I ordered this one, I expected it to be RGB LEDs, but it is not.
Serial connection requires some work because of the "plastic" used to cover the components.

Other Thoughts: There are 54 LEDs; 18 Red, 18 Green and 18 Blue.
This means that "color mixing" requires a diffuser of sorts and/or mounting the strip out of sight and/or far away.
If not, you'll see each individual LED with it's respectable color.

Bottomline: Great LED strip if you don't need the "in view" color mixing..

Pros: Great product. The epoxy was a good surprise. great for lighting up bars (how i used it) I used an old downlight ballast to power the strip and it worked great.

Cons: the anodising on the aluminium is got the best, but does not effect performance. Epoxy covers everything, maybe the contacts could be exposed on each end.

Other Thoughts: connectors on the ends of the wires would be great. option of mixing led colours. ie to make more colours. red + blue for purple etc.

Bottomline: great product for the price. aluminium casing is a plus. epoxy makes it even better. get it for your home or car projects.

Pros: Almost impossible to use wrong. Just attach the yellow wire to ground, and apply 12V to the other cables to get light in the corresponding color.

All LEDs are clear when not lit so it looks nice also when off.

Covered with epoxy, it seem to ber rock solid.

Excellent for mood lights as you can vary the colors.

12V means that it can be used directly in your car without any transformers or anything like that.

Cons: The epoxy coveres the connection points in the oposite end, so it takes some effort to drill it away and get to the solder points if you want to daisy-chain more than one module.

Other Thoughts: Wires in both ends would have been nice when you are connecting several modules.

Bottomline: If you want easy and discrete lightning at a good price this is it. It requires no knowledge of cables or currents to make it work; just connect it and it lights up.

Pros: Very high quality lighting strip in aluminum profile with screw brackets at ends. Comparable products go for at least four times the cost here in sweden.

Can be cut in 5 places along it's length without harming the function of the strip, very useful when your intended installation site is not an even number of 52cm increments.

Cons: The strip board has connections at both ends, but unfortunately the whole board is covered in epoxy, making it really hard to get to those connections if you want to connect several strips together into one length.

Other Thoughts: These run at about 20mA per LED, so they should last the full LED stated lifetime, wich means between 2 and 11 years of constant light.

The yellow wire is positive (common anode) and the red, green and blue wires are the negative connections for their respective color.

Bottomline: These are the best things out there for lighting under the edges of counters, along the edge of the ceiling and such.
