4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Little Kit - but Not the Longest Lasting, September 27, 2009

I love my LED Strip light kit from Eaglelight. The shipping was as quick as the rest of my order from Amazon, and it arrived in a compact box with clear instructions. Setup was much easier than I thought it would be, and involved plugging the adapter into the wall, and either plugging each strip into the controller unit, or you can connect the strips together to form one long one (which is what I would up doing).

I placed them behind my newly purchased Ladoro Translucent Shelving Kit from a local brick and mortar store. When I bought these, I knew that the plastic, translucent shelves were prime for a unique lighting treatment, and my quest led me to purchase these.

Let me tell you, the kit looks awesome with these shelves. The LEDs are bright, and have 3 brightness control settings. The remote is compact and works well, and you can pick from the 4 main colors (red, blue, green, or white - each of which is especially intense and vibrant), a choice of 12 preset colors which are a mix of the main colors, or 4 different modes that change colors.
-Flash - rapidly transitions solid colors
-Strobe - slowly transitions solid colors
-Fade - slowly fades into each color
-Smooth - quickly fades into each color.

I use mainly white or the Fade/Smooth effect in my room. The white is clean and excellent for helping to light a space, while the transitions add fun and excitement to the room, while not being too distracting.

I will try to post pictures of my application of the lights. For any application, however, I highly recommend this kit, and probably will be purchasing additional strips in the near future.

--Update - Nov. 2010 (a little over a year of use)--

The lights rarely turn on now. I have moved the shelving unit they are attached to about twice over the past year and even the stresses of a light move have appeared to damage the connectors in the strip to the point that they must be pressed together with my hands or tape to keep the lights on. I doubt that this would happen had it not been for the move, but regardless I would expect most products to not deteriorate in the sense that these did. So if your planned application of these does not call for them to be moved, well, ever, then I still would consider these a 5-star product, although with my experiences I have downgraded this review to 4 stars overall. Because I was still quite satisfied with them until they stopped working and am even considering purchasing them again to replace the damaged set.

Several years ago I purchased a similar LED strip light kit (not flexible) from IKEA for about $50. I loved it, decided I wanted more, and this kit was the closest I could find to that IKEA kit I purchased.

The quality of the LEDs are fantastic, they are very bright and vibrant. The controller on the other hand kinda sucks. The dimmer control doesn't work well, it seems to cycle the leds through a mere two brightness settings that are so close to one another that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it weren't for the flash that occurs during the transition. Also, the color buttons on the remote don't really indicate the colors they will produce (for example, pressing the yellow button will cause the strips to illuminate in white. One of the orange buttons produces pink, etc). Also, and the biggest disappointment for me, is that the modes that automatically cycle the lights through all of the colors are all choppy and abrupt. The IKEA strips I got would fade slowly and seamlessly from one color to the next in a very relaxing and hypnotic manner - these dim for a second or two and then quickly jump to the next color - and yes I was using the fade and slow functions. The faster stroke and flash functions work fine.

Overall I will keep them because I purchased them to backlight my computer monitors and plan on keeping them the same color all the time. I will not be buying more for the rest of my needs though. :(

So to sum up my experience:

Pros:
* Bright!
* Vibrant, saturated colors
* A remote control
* Flexible led strips make mounting easy
* No high-pitched whine from controller or power supply

Cons:
* Dimming function doesn't work properly - and these are bright!
* All of the fade features are rather fast and abrupt. Not seamless at all.
* Colored buttons on remote don't all correspond to output color when pressed
* Connecting wires less than a foot long means you either have to mount the strips next to each other or make your own extension cables.

I thought it would be a really cool pc add on, and indeed it was but for one hooking the lights into each other was the hardest thing i've ever tried, the instructions say nothing, i did find a way around this but after that the entire thing started smoking and died the leds are fine i think its the IR controller that died.
50 bucks and gone in 2 hours.
