Pros: An excellent product and a best buy for the number of emitters per dollar. Bright white.Easy for beginners to use as is, and cutable like the ribbon strips, at any three LED junction. There are good solder pads at each cut point if you wish to use shorter sections.
Cons: No cons since those arriving now are different to the one displayed in the customer picture and early revues. The soldering is good quality and the board design better.
Other Thoughts: 75 LEDs protected every three LEDs with a 180 ohm resistor. This will make them bullet proof at charging voltages but tends to have them underdriven at 12 volts. There are still good and bright at that lower voltage however.I measured 390 mA at 12 volts and another customer measured 590 mA at 14.1 volts.Nominal rating at 12 volts would be 500 mA and 6 watts.
Bottomline: A good bargain choice for those considering SKU 5256 or even SKU 5312Application details can be seen here:http://longlucas.bravehost.com/
Pros: Very bright, brilliantly versatile, compact, energy efficient and fantastic price.It's sold as a light, and it lights things up. To those complaining about build quality: it's not sold as something you can rough up. It's sold as a basic light for using in simple applications.Mine arrived intact, fully working and with no wobbly LEDs like some people mentioned.
Cons: It could be thinner, but to be honest, it's fine as it is.
Other Thoughts: Because it's so simple, it is useful in loads of applications. Just chop it up and solder wires onto the ends of the bits.
Bottomline: If you're looking for something to withstand knocks and bumps, it's probably best to make a cover, or place these out of reach. Otherwise, it's a great product for anyone who wants a bright, simple and efficient light.
Pros: Lots of light for a 5.6w strip. Consumes 0.45A from my computer psu's 12v rail which is capable of delivering up to 52 amps. About as bright as my 13W fluorescent table lamp. Wide viewing angle as stated by others, damned bright when you look at them straight on. Pretty white light, tends to be eveer so slightly blluish.
Cons: Not exactly the highest quality i've ever seen. if i touch one of the groups of three leds, they will actually turn off, leading me to believe that soldering wasnt that great.
Other Thoughts: I want more of these.
Bottomline: Great purchase for the price.
Pros: Bright even light.Cheaper than building your own, and saves time.Easy to cut to desired length or to connect several units together.
Cons: Solderings are awful.Some LEDs are not placed firm against the PCB.
Other Thoughts: Draws 0,35A @ 12V.LEDs are connected in groups of 3 along with a 1K resistor. Three groups per section, 8 whole sections.The last section consists of 3 leds.
Bottomline: Good unit for the price.I would only use it indoors as it is a very basic design, a PCB slided into a piece of plastic.
