PAUTIXRGB Smart IC COB LED Strip Light 5V USB,Color Chasing UL-Listed Multicolor Flexible Tape LED Strip Light 9.84ft/3m Compatible with Alexa/Google Assistant,for TV,Desk,Monitor DIY Decoration

This LED strip is amazing.Firstly, the COB LEDs make a much nicer quality of light than traditional/cheaper LED strips, because the diffuser coating them makes smooth, uniform light with no bright spots. The look is so much more refined and attractive.Secondly, this strip has AMAZING presets (over 140 of them) which showcase all sorts of interesting chases, fades and patterns. The lights are able to intelligently sense where the strip has been cut and designate end points for these patterns which create symmetrical motion, etc. Very gorgeous and complex patterns of color chases and fades which dazzle and are way beyond an ordinary LED strip.Next there's the physical switch attached to the cable, which also has buttons to change mode & brightness...Next there's the remote control which is much bigger and more detailed than other LED remotes, with many more buttons and choices.However the BEST part by far is the phone app. This app let's you navigate every single preset, see it's title, change the brightness OR saturation of the colors, save 9 favorites presets, rename things, even an RGB color wheel with corresponding Hex codes to select a color which *perfectly matches* a color of your choice. If you know the Hex code of your color, you can enter it and have it match your corporate logo / desktop theme / stage light show / you name it.The sticky tape backing on the strip is nice & thick, not a cheap paper tape (like I've seen on other LED strips) but more like a rubber foam material; it sticks very well and stays put.Overall this is by FAR the BEST LED strip I have ever used or seen! I cannot possibly reccomend it highly enough. My name is Daniel, this is a review by a real person. I used this strip to decorate a shelf in my bedroom, the shelf has this dazzling rainbow uplifting now, it looks incredible. I love the presets and favorites function. Seriously cannot reccomend enough. Buy this instead of any other strip.

This LED strip (24ft, COB WS2811, IP65, full RGBIC) is the best LED strip currently available on the market. It is the brightest, has the most densely populated addressable sections, has accurate white appearance without a dedicated white LED, has decent adhesive backing, and is the most durable and waterproof with their heat-shrink wrapping on the entire strip. The price is also fair since they come in 24ft rolls instead of the standard 16.5ft. The only thing it is missing is a full IP68 silicone encased version for wetter environments and possibly a longer lasting adhesive backing. I use these strips for both residential and commercial applications for my business and they have been excellent so far.There are only two downsides in my opinion. Once in a while, you will have a single LED go out, but the LEDs are so densely packed that you cant even tell the difference. The other downside is that voltage drop appears to be more prevalent when combining strips to create super long runs. I think its just easier to notice since the brightness is so high and the color is so accurate at the beginning of the run.Overall, these are the best LED strips available anywhere right now. They are CONSIDERABLY brighter than the 5050smd chip strips that have become pretty common and use the same amount of energy. Honestly, I have to turn down the brightness so I dont disturb my neighbors at night. They're REALLY bright.I hope Pautix eventually comes out with a more “industrial” version that is IP68 rated and has 3M VHB on the back so they stick to surfaces indefinitely. In the meantime, these are truly the best you can buy in May 2024.

I picked up this small LED strip for a very specific purpose – to brighten up the gauge cluster in an older car where the original gauges were ridiculously dim. The strip is extremely slim, which was perfect for what I needed. The light output is fantastic; it looks like one continuous, beautiful strip of light with barely any spacing between the LEDs, creating a gorgeously diffused look.Unfortunately, I missed the part on the Amazon page that mentioned needing a proper power supply. In my haste, I powered the strip using the spare USB port on a Chinese head unit in the car, thinking, "It's just a small light strip, I'm sure it's fine." And it was, for about 20 minutes. The dash looked amazing, lighting up like a Christmas tree, and I was thrilled with how it looked.But then, things took a turn for the worse. After driving around with the newly lit-up dash, it only took about 10 minutes for the light strip to blow the fuse in the radio because it was pulling too much power. Moments later, smoke started pouring out of the radio, which was extremely hot to the touch. I panicked, ripped the radio out, and found it completely dead. It definitely could have caught fire and burned the car down with us in it.To be clear, this was not a fault of the product – it was entirely user error. However, I strongly urge anyone using this light strip to ensure it has the proper power supply. Thank god this was just a project car.For those with the right setup, this light strip is a fantastic addition and looks incredible. Just make sure you power it correctly for your safety!EDIT 8/16/24: Customer service reached out and sent me a new lightstrip. I will make sure I use it correctly this time. Outstanding customer service brought my review to 5 stars!
