12V 16.4-Feet (5 Meter) IP62 Waterproof LED Strip Lights, 4000K Daylight White

I build the occasional home and also renovate homes. Have gone through a lot of brands of tape LEDs for use in undercabinet and accent lighting. Most have really poor adhesive (don’t believe it when most say 3M adhesive), and many are not the light temperature they claim to be. For those of you who don’t do this a lot, lights around 2700-3000K are ‘warm’ (yellowish). At 4000K they are ‘daylight’ (fairly pure white). At 5000K and higher they become ‘cool’ (bluish). I like 4000K but the last ones i bought (not this brand) are purple, which means they’re probably 6000K+ in reality. And I’ve had to get to the point of using hot glue on the lights to get them to stick, which is a really messy and inconvenient way to go. These lights are a bit pricey, but seem to adhere well, and the light temperature (color) appears to be true. The 4000K that I bought are a very nice clean white. They are very bright. In fact, you might want to consider a dimmable triac power supply so you can get just the brightness you want. I used the PlusPOE 60W dimmable LED Driver (X002JA07NP), and Lutron Caseta dimmer switches and it worked well for me. Not cheap, but I find the ‘cheap’ options usually backfire.I’d love to buy these by the case and keep them in inventory, but given the price, may need to buy as-needed.

These are super bright! I have been using them to rebuild my old 8' fluorescent fixtures. I remove old ballast and fluorescent tube ends, stick these baby's to the metal under where bulbs were... and wire up to a 12volt supply! They are used in a commercial kitchen. So they run all day long in a hot kitchen. No trouble as of yet.I have also used many rolls in my utility truck for tool cabinet lighting as well as interior lighting. Perfect as they are 12 volt!Great product!

These are very bright and almost pure white light. The LEDs are covered in a thick layer of silicone, and the adhesive side seems to be very strong.Beware that the silicone layer over the contacts must be completely removed before soldering or connecting to a "sliding contact" connector. This means scraping the surface of the contacts with a sharp razor blade - very tedious. Miss any and the solder won't bond.Also note that there are exposed contacts on the adhesive side of the tape and if you plan to stick these to a conductive (metal) surface, you may need to insulate these pads. I don't know if the adhesive surface insulates these, but I didn't want to take a chance on shorting the tape out.

I used these for lighting on my 15' boat. The lights were much brighter than expected and the adhesive one the back worked much better than my past experiences as well. I about 6' short, so I bought another roll.Was very easy to install and they work great. Much brighter than I expected. I would (and have) bought more.

I am upgrading my motorhome flouescent lights with these. It requires cutting this roll into short strips. This was done easily with these lights. I also ordered some small slide on light connectors and these are a little finicky, but ultimately they work well.They throw out a lot of light.

LIKE THE LIGHTS , BUT BUY A SOLDER GUN AND SOLDER WHEN YOU PURCHASE THESE. IF YOU DON'T SOLDER THE CONNECTION END PIECES TO MAKE THE CONNECTION, THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT WILL MAKE THEM FLICKER. THE STICKING ON THE BACK OF THE LIGHTS WORKS GREAT.BILL B

I bought two rolls for the inside of my enclosed trailer and have since ordered a third roll. I had doubts about how bright these lights would be, they have exceeded my expectations in brightness. I could've gotten away with using just one roll. They have wires on both ends to tie in additional lights. The 3M adhesive strip on the back holds well, I stuck the lights up in 35 degree Fahrenheit weather and to my surprise they stuck and continued to stick in below freezing temps and bouncing around on gravel roads.

Stopped working after two days. Used a voltage meter and so I know there is power running through it.
