Starstrips LED Strip Lights16.4ft WiFi 5050 with Smart RF Remote Music Sync Phone App Control Work with Alexa Google Home Waterproof IP 65 Rope Lights for Bedroom Kitchen Party Decoration (ST004B)

This is a solid product with a single drawback that I'll mention at the end of the review.There isn't much variability with 5050 LED light strips (of the same LED density) besides adhesive and the presence or absence of a waterproofing layer. This product has waterproofing and uses 3M adhesive. Regarding density of LEDs, these 5050 strips are regular density or "150". This means there are 150 LEDs per 5 meters whereas high density are "300" and use 300 LEDs per 5 meters. If you ever wanted to change out the type of RGB strip, that is possible as long as you configure the wattage of the power supply to the wattage consumption of the strip size you are using. In general is better to keep the LED strip total wattage to about 80% of your power supply's total output wattage (where the equation is volts x amps of output) to keep the power supply from getting too hot. Regular density 5050 LED strips use about 2.2 watts per foot and high density use about 4.4 watts per foot.The real virtue here is the controller, remote and power supply:The controller is smart-home enabled so it will integrate voice-devices like Alexa or Google Home. It also has a physical power button for local on/off operation. The TuyaSmart app that is uses is solid.The remote is RF, which is better when you may not have line-of-site operation compared to IR. The RF remote also has a much better range. However, there is a potential draw back here with an RF remote that I'll mention below.The power supply is technically ok for most applications. As mentioned above, regular density 5050 LED lights use about 2.2 watts per foot. This power supply is rated at 36 watts, which will be maxed out for for the full 16.4ft LED light strip. I like to build in a little buffer for the power supply to keep it from getting too hot and prolonging its longevity. This could be achieved but reducing the length of your strip by about 1-2 feet or so. Whether you want a wall plug (i.e., wall wort) instead of a smaller plug with a power brick comes down to your specific application. This uses the wall plug.The only drawback of this design comes if you want to use more than controller and remote. Since the remote is RF, it does not need line-of-sight and the range is significantly longer than IR. Therefore, there is a real possibility for one remote to adjust all your other LED strips with the same controller. That may or may not be a problem depending on your application. For me, I wanted to install the same LED strip in both of my kid's bedrooms. However, if one uses the remote to turn on their lights, it will turn on the lights in both rooms. That's no bueno for my application. However, I can see where some may want to do that if they installed LED lights on, say, both sides of fireplace shelving. That way, one remote would turn on both sides simultaneously. It would be great if you could specify which controllers are tied out to which remotes but again, this is only if you have more than one controller, remote and non-contiguous LED strips.

I took these just to test them out since the price was good, almost too good to be true, even vs the other no name similar products.But this really is a solid package:LEDs look great, the adapter is scaled properly per length, the controller works good with Tuya and SmartLife out of the box and it's easy to pair + the RF remote works great, the adhesive is good.A couple of drawbacks:- RF remote is single channel. If you buy multiple strips, even though they are in different rooms, if they are within remote range, it turns all of them on or off.In my case, i added an automation in SmartLife, when one strip is turned on, turn the one in the other room off. Seems to work.- from 5 strips bought, one of fhe adapters had worse coil whine. Not a big deal, just returned that one and got another one.

Muy buena calidad

Works great

However, I added the strip to the Smart Life app (which uses the Tuya cloud backend). I much prefer the Smart Life app because I have several other light switches already set up in Smart Life.WHAT I LIKE:- Vibrant LEDs- Versatile control methods- Strong adhesive under the strip- Adhesive pad provided for the control box- Wi-Fi control is a great distinguishing feature, most LED strips just do Bluetooth or remoteWHAT COULD BE BETTER:- Two of the remote buttons are swapped- The cover for the adhesive was difficult to remove- The DC adapter is huge, and black so it sticks out when connected to the strip's controllerCONCLUSION: Overall, a very good strip.

They looked fine and perform fine so far. Saturated colors.✅ ASSEMBLY (7 of 10): They only have ONE connector pin, so don’t lose it. No corner connectors.✅ OVERALL RATING: 9 out of 10⚠️ Don’t lose the only 4 pin connector.I had no issues with these strips, and I’d buy the Starstrip brand again. I installed these under my couch and used the app to control them (see video).One reason I requested these was because they use the Tuya app, which I am already familiar with. The app paired and connected with the app easily.The Starstrips 16 foot roll has 300 LEDS.One thing to consider when buying strips is that you can get generally two basic flavors. You can get 16 feet with 300 LEDS or 16 feet with 150 LEDs. Of course, the strips with less LEDs are going to put out less light. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because the longer the strips, the less power you have to drive all of the LEDs. So if you need 32 feet, you'll probably have to settle with 300 LEDS total.If you only need 16 feet, then the 300 LED models offer the most light.
