12V 54-LED RGB Light Strip (50cm)

Pros: This strip is very bright. When all LEDs are on, the light diffuses into a nice white light, and the current draw is 200mA. Individually, the colours are very good, though the green is just a tad washed out. While it's not obvious from the photos, the strip is potted in a clear epoxy, so it is waterproof if you want to use it under your car.

Cons: The only con I can think of is that I didn't expect it to be potted/sealed. I imagine this won't be a negative at all for most people. But I planned to cut the strip into six smaller strips for use indoors in an ambient lighting device. I think I can still do that, but it'll require more hacking.

Other: This is a real deal for an RGB light strip. The strip is potted using clear epoxy in a white plastic c-channel.

Pros: Very bright! The first time i tried it out, i was blinded by the light. Amazing! And pretty too, nice colors. (i kinda like the green, not washed out to me, but i have yellow glasses)

Cons: It's a bit big... I would rather have had 2x 25cm pieces joined by a wire or something ..
The epoxy bit was a surprise, but it doesn't bother me too much.

Other: Excellent light for a righteous price!
But, make sure your project allows 1-part, 50cm big, lights.. (which mine not really did ...)

Pros: - Real cheap for what you get. - Real good to create nice light effects in your room. - Nice and wide angle of shining, thins about 110 degrees. - Mixes the colors quite good. - Doesn't dissipate to much in the resistors

Cons: - I wanted to solder 5 of these together on eachothers ends, but therefor i had to cut a lot of epoxy away to get to the solder pads. A good technice for this is to heat the epoxy with al lighter or you soldering tool till it turns brown and soft. Than the epoxy lets loose of the surface and you can cut is away easely.
- One of my strips had a bad soldering to one of the resistors, ik fixed it myself becaus that is a lot less time consuming than redeeming a new one.

Other: - very nice product for lighting projects!

Pros: Very sold construction and totaly wether tight because it is set in an epoxy plastic, also they can't be joined together, or cut very easly because of that. the light output is very good!

Cons: gets a bit warm/hot after running on the car battery (13.8v) so maybe not so ideal for use on cars.

Other: I bought them just cos they were so cheep, and so cool you will not be dissapointed! The yelow wire is +ve and the other wires are the -ve's.

Pros: Very brigth, if you turn all 3 colors on it is almost white light.
Cutable and extendable. It can be cut for every 3diodes, and it is prepared for extension in the end.

Cons: Common plus instead of common minus is really the only thing i can think of.
One had a minor crack in the epoxy, but not worth mentioning.

Other: Great product. In denmark it would easily have cost the double+shipping!

Pros: This product is an excellent item to add in to loads of projects where lighting is required, can be used as great mood lighting and runs perfectly off a Hacked computer PSU, low current draw and great build quality all round.

Cons: The casing does make the solder points pretty inaccessible, that and the C-section and epoxy build do make it alot bulkier than necessary. Really only minor cons, the length does make it less useful for smaller projects.

Other: Great product at an amazing price, try sourcing the whole lot cheaper elsewhere, then come back here to buy one.

Pros: Yeah, I ordered 10 of these and I am very satisfied. The light is quite strong. All pieces come in same quality. Buliding of the item is good. 4 wires for soldering. Resistors are soldered in, so you can only pplug it into 12V source and rock:) All colour channels lit up make up almost a white light. Cool price, very nice item.

Cons: The red light could be little bit stronger according to blue and green one, but I am satisfied with this product at all.

Other: I want more of them.

Pros: works fine, nice intensity and good finish.
it was great if they got the proxy of at the end.
easy to use got it working really fast and after that I bout the DX controller, I connected to it 10 ps and it work nicely

Cons: proxy on the end of it make it hard to connect more units
only 45 cm!!!! when it marks 50 cm!!
I got 10 and they all came to short

Other: good for the price.

Pros: These rgb's are very bright. The power to the leds is about 2,5 watts. These rgb's have a common positive. That means normal NPN BJT transistors can be used. The epoxy is very smooth; I can't stay away from it with my fingers.

Cons: The first one I ordered was broke! I got a free replacement but that took a while. The problem was that the strip was very wobbly in shape. Also one group of 9 leds wasn't working. I used my dremel to cut out the bad section. That worked surprisingly well. Plus since the bad group was somewhere in the middle, the wobbly shape was less annoying. Connecting the the new rgb strip to the old one made me a happy man.

Other: A cheap rbg which is bright as hell and is easy to connect. Nice quality epoxy finish; can't do it yourself for that money.

Pros: I am very happy with the light strips, the light out put is very impressive. They are straight and smooth and the epoxy is well done, none of mine were broken.

Cons: Like every one else they are shorter than expected, and the red is dimmer than the green and blue. the wires coming out of the top is also an pain when it comes to mounting

Other: Fun to play with and for the price it is great!
