Pros: This product is an excellent item to add in to loads of projects where lighting is required, can be used as great mood lighting and runs perfectly off a Hacked computer PSU, low current draw and great build quality all round.


Cons: The casing does make the solder points pretty inaccessible, that and the C-section and epoxy build do make it alot bulkier than necessary. Really only minor cons, the length does make it less useful for smaller projects.


Other Thoughts: Odd using a common positive, though not any more complicated.
If the wires were run out the end rather than at the top side of the end it would be a little handier.


Bottomline: Great product at an amazing price, try sourcing the whole lot cheaper elsewhere, then come back here to buy one.


Bright and sturdy.

Pros: Very brigth, if you turn all 3 colors on it is almost white light.
Cutable and extendable. It can be cut for every 3diodes, and it is prepared for extension in the end.


Cons: Common plus instead of common minus is really the only thing i can think of.
One had a minor crack in the epoxy, but not worth mentioning.


Other Thoughts: Would be nice if there werent any epoxy on the last 2-3mm so the soldering points would be easy accessible for extension.


Bottomline: Great product. In denmark it would easily have cost the double+shipping!


Very Cool!

Pros: Very sold construction and totaly wether tight because it is set in an epoxy plastic, also they can't be joined together, or cut very easly because of that. the light output is very good!

Cons: gets a bit warm/hot after running on the car battery (13.8v) so maybe not so ideal for use on cars.

Other Thoughts: set up a pwm for each colour chanel, to get real cool mood lighting!

Bottomline: I bought them just cos they were so cheep, and so cool you will not be dissapointed! The yelow wire is +ve and the other wires are the -ve's.

Pros: - Real cheap for what you get.
- Real good to create nice light effects in your room.
- Nice and wide angle of shining, thins about 110 degrees.
- Mixes the colors quite good.
- Doesn't dissipate to much in the resistors

Cons: - I wanted to solder 5 of these together on eachothers ends, but therefor i had to cut a lot of epoxy away to get to the solder pads. A good technice for this is to heat the epoxy with al lighter or you soldering tool till it turns brown and soft. Than the epoxy lets loose of the surface and you can cut is away easely.
- One of my strips had a bad soldering to one of the resistors, ik fixed it myself becaus that is a lot less time consuming than redeeming a new one.

Other Thoughts: - i used 5 of these to lit my room, i would say these 5 give light of about 20W of halogeen light.

Bottomline: - very nice product for lighting projects!
