WiFi COB LED Strip Light 5M,Dimmable LED Strip Kit 2000LEDs,5mm Width,DC12V CRI90+ Self-Adhesive Tape COB LED Strip for Home Decoration,Warm White,Compatible with Alexa/Google Home

The WiFi works great with Alexa and lights up behind the TV excellent. However, the electrical connection inside the barrel connector was bad and only worked half the time or dimmed. It also got red hot. I ended up cutting the connector and soldering it instead which now works great.

First impressions was that this was a well packaged item.There was a reasonable distance from the power source to the start of the strip light, which is sometimes a bit short for these types of things. Compared to some others, the power side of things was substantial, with a large brick adaptor and thick cabling to the power socket.The lighting itself could be used as a basic light (ie, on/off) simply using the power supply to switch it, however, for best use you needed to download an app on your phone. There is a QR code in the small instructions linking to the app (FVTLED). The App allows you to set the strip light to various brightness levels and set up a few preset "scenes" (flashing, dimming, sound-detecting, etc). It also gives you the option to link them up with Amazon Alexa or similar - which, once you've found the "skill" (Surplife) can be easily connected up to allow voice activation and setting of routines, etc.The strip light itself is bright, flexible and narrower than a lot of others out there - yet without any obvious reduction in light emitted. It has a smooth coating on it so there's no jaggy edges and it has a removable strip on the back to reveal a sticky surface, allowing you to stick it securely.I was a little concerned about the two wires sticking out of the end, but I'm assuming they're to allow for extending the length of the lights if required - although at 5m this set is a reasonable length already.Finally, I also noticed some damage to one of the prongs on the plug - this didn't appear to affect the output, but was a little concerning. For this reason I've removed one star.

I got this to install along my skirting boards upstairs and night time for some added light.Upon opening it I was surprised that it was a bit thinner than I was expecting as I've not had this type of light strip before. So thought perhaps it's not very bright... Well I didn't need to worry about that as on full brightness setting it's extremely bright. I connected to Google Home and now it works perfectly by voice and I can adjust the brightness and turn it on and off, and even set timers for it. I'm really impressed and the added remote is a bonus if Google home is not working. Overall a great light strip and I'm thinking about getting another one for downstairs.

It arrived on time, looked great & was easy to install. I tested it before installing it & it worked both with the app & with Alexa. Then installed it & hid cable away only to find it doesn’t work now. I have tried resetting it & have tried deleting it from the app but it will not reconnect or turn on at all. So I will now have to remove & return (not an easy job).
