36-LED 576-Lumen String Light with Aluminum Alloy Shell - Warm White Light (12V)

Pros: Nice and bright light. Compared to a 230v 20W CFL (=1080 lumens) it's not quite so warm, but it's not bad! I would say it's easily 450+ lumens, not quite sure if it's really as much as 576. 2 could easily light a small room, and 3 would be great far surpassing a 20W CFL

Cons: Not an obvious way to mount these - might need double sided tape to glue to the ceiling, or maybe drill some holes through the aluminium housing then screw to surface (the led board just slides out). Also the second power wires were half broken off.

Other: A nice spread out light with a good colour.

Pros: Great quality. Got a good warm light. I built it into an over 100 year old cabinet. Running it on half power to get the recessed lighting i wanted. Just love this item. Could light up a room with a few of therse low energy effective, generates no heat..

Cons: The cord fell off, but soldered on a new, so not really something to think about. No obvious ways to fix it. Used double sided tape and regular clear tape to secure it. But really suited me perfectly, then I do not make screw holes in it over a hundred years old cabinet I mounted it in.

Other: Just love this item, got to buy more of therse..

Pros: Strip holding LEDs is alu-back so cools LEDs. Shape of shell allows different mounting positions, so you can shield direct light. Also mountable on incligned surfaces (e.g. attic room wall). A standard jack chassis can be soldered on the strip, replacing the lead, allowing for pull-safe connection to wall wart. Pleasant light. Bright but not blue, rich light.

Cons: The three strips that I ordered were held together with sticky tape of which the stickyness was almost impossible to remove from the shell.
The three were wrapped in bubble foil, rather than in a cartboard stiff tube, which caused them to be bent and torted during their shipping. Restoring them to their original shape is almost impossible.

Other: Good enough light for a bed lamp, desk light or under-cupboard lighting. Friendly light, tad expensive but worth the price.

Pros: Very bright, I used 2 of these in a travel trailer
over the stove and counter tops. One lights up the
whole stove and is more than bright enough, easy to
mount in many angles. I did have to drill holes in the
metal shell but has rails in the inside to guide it.
Also the inside of the cabinets had bracing, pre-
drilled holes would have been useless.

Cons: I gave this light a 4 star on build quality because
the light has a slight orange tint to it but is usable.

Other: Great light overall, saves time and money by
how much light it puts out. I think a good guess
of lumen output would be around 300-350lm easy!

Pros: Very decent soft light with solid bright comparable to incandescent lighting of nearly to 40W lamp.

Cons: Aluminum alloy shell could be a simple U shape with slot for diffuser.
Wires should be soldered in better quality.

Other: I am attaching the picture comparing SKU 47300 versus SKU 47301.

Pros: Really nice item, prefer it far above 05256 except that it is not waterproof. This one is much brighter, and useful warm light.
Ideal for linking a few over a kitchen counter workbench, mounted underneath cupboards.
The metal blends in well with any decor. My wife loves this one. Good thin I bought 3!

Cons: Solder is not the best, but I'll touch it up anyway. Just a con if you are not used to soldering electronics.
Would be nice if it had end caps, perhaps a set to close off and a set to link strips so you have the option.

Other: Get it, it works well.

Pros: Cheap ledstrip, very bright light.
The color is great, i bought 16 off them allready.
I use them in my sailing boat, the sailing boat of a friend of my, under the kitchen cabinet's.
You can almost use them any were.
The strip can be shortened, if it is to long.
On the strip the soldering island are very clear to see.
just cut between the soldering island's

Cons: The soldering of the wire's provided with the strip is poor.
The housing shoud be a littel longer and tighter.
The strip moves freely in the aluminum housing.
There is no room in the housing for adding voltage regulators.

Other: if you consider buying one, buy two or three.
You wont regret it

Pros: The light strip was installed in the bathroom under the mirror/cabinet assembly were a 24'' T12 20W 3000K fluorescent was previously being used. This light strip is a great alternative as it provides almost the same brightness, same color temp for less than half the energy consumption.
Because it is of much lower profile than the fluorescent assembly, it can be hidden much more easily under the edge of a cabinet to avoid being blinded by direct light.

Cons: The wires broke during installation. I had to resolder better quality wires to the strip.
There's no easy way to mount it: I had to drill two holes in the aluminum bar to install it with screws. I guess it could also be glued in placed due to it's very light weight.

Other: Great alternative to fluorescent lighting. I used SKU 81475 to power it.

Pros: These lights are inexpensive and simple to use. They offer plenty of light individually, but work even better if you order multiples

Cons: The solder points for the wires are a bit weak, you will want to reinforce or replace them. This light is sold with bare wires, so it is more for the hobbyist, not the average user.

Other: Great value, but you will need to treat the solder points with some care.

Pros: - the most important: the LEDs are very good. Every single one has the same brightness, so the strip gives you a very good ambient
- the price ist also good. at local stores in germany, you can only get the aluminium profile for that price.
- pretty bright. not sure if its really over 500lm (I doubt it), but 3 or 4 of them is enough to light up a room.
- dont get hot, even after some hour of use.

Cons: - the soldering of the wires is very poor. i ordered 4 of them and all of them fell off after short time. not really a big deal to me because I solder them anyway.

Other: Great buy, thinking of getting some more.
