Lepro 5M LED Strip Light, Warm White 3000K, 1650LM 15W, Dimmable, Stick on

Overview: Nice warm white lighting with no LEDs not working. Easy to use and a very worthwhile purchase. Disclaimer: I don’t know what I’m doing, I really don’t! I’m not a decorator or electrician. Hopefully if you don’t know what you’re doing either, then this review helps! Postage and Packaging: Its Prime, so delivery was quick as always. Packaged nicely and once opened out had all the required components to complete the job. Installation: As per the video, I wired this up to replace previous spotlights under the cupboards. This meant installing sockets first (I used this BG ELS134B 4-Gang Permaplug if you are doing something similar). Once the plugs are in, I extended the wiring down and then connected to the “tail-end” of the strip. You can apply power to either end, so this worked perfectly. Applying the strip was as simple as peeling away the backing and sticking down. The adhesive strip seems strong enough. Yes, the tape isn’t heavy and therefore shouldn’t fall off - but I’ve bought enough where it does so its always worth stating. Now its all applied its worth summing up the following: • Checked before installing and after. All LEDS remain lit. • Described as Warm White and it is - I’ve tried to get the photos to show a realistic reproduction. 4100K temperature gave the best result. • The tape was easy to cut, and easy to connect with the included connectors. • Using the connectors takes a little ..finesse. They are tight, which is good as the connection will last, but they are definitely tight! • The adhesive on the tape is easy to use, and has stayed so far. I have no reason to believe it will fail. • The tape is also flexible enough to fit into, and around, corners. • Lighting is nice and even. • There is no sound from the transformer plug, and no undue warmth. • Slight delay on start of one set of lights against the other. Longevity: I think that the lights will last. The biggest risk is that LEDs start failing. I can’t say how likely this is, but will be keeping a close eye out for this and will edit this review if it happens. Given how easy it is to attach connectors though, you can always cut out a strip and replace.

I orginally brought one lot to try under my kitchen cupboards to give the kitchen som under light on worktops. Wow, these really are a great buy, so much so i brought another 7, to go all round the kitchen, i had to buy seperate as my cupboards are spaced apart. Not only do these really make my kitchen look beautiful, they are also dimmers, so you can hae them at any brightness you want. Super easy to install, just peal back and stick (on clean dry surface) then i just stuck the dimmer switch to the wall. I can honestly say we dont need the big ceiling light on now. For me these were just what i wanted and am so pleased with them. It was also handly that they were in this lengh to , as i think if they had been longer it would have been to much, much better for the small areas. I would recommend deffaitnly. Wish i had got another one for my sons bedroom now.

Lights look great, easy to set up and control with dimmer switch. They are easy to trim as well with directions on how to do it if your not sure where to cut. Tape has stayed put so far, but I have used them on a flat surface lighting up so cannot speak to the functionality of the tape in any other scenario. I only give 4* as I wish there was a remote or something to control them instead of having to use the dimmer button to turn on and off.

Great value for money, very bright in my use case, which was lighting for floating shelves.

This is a brilliant product at a really good price. I have used almost the full 5 metres - one long piece to go around the top of a wardrobe and then 3 smaller pieces to go inside and light up when the doors are opened (you need the LED motion switches, which are sold separately, but make sure you get ones that are compatible with the 5050 series LED). It is easy to cut. If, like me, you cut it into a number of strips, then you will need some more connectors of the right type (5050 compatible, 5mm wide I think), but they are cheap and quickly delivered from Amazon. Make sure you watch the vid on YouTube so you understand how to fix the connectors to the strip correctly, otherwise the air will be blue and you will waste LED strip. You have to cut it in the right place, then cut through and STRIP AWAY THE PLASTIC TOP COATING TO EXPOSE THE CONTACTS then make sure you have the +ve side of the strip to the +ve side of the connector, then slide the strip into the connector, put the cap over and snap it in place - it works! This kit comes with a radio transmitter and in-line plug in receiver, so you can control the lights from anywhere in the room. There are different modes, although I only use the 100%, 75% and 25% switches. The flashing light modes will drive you crazy. You can power the (in my case 4) cut strips from the one transformer if you are useful with some simple cable connectors and a bit of 2-core cable from your local DIY. Cheap as chips. Works a treat. Really impressed and would recommend it for wardrobes - probably really good for kitchens too. I'm not so sure I would trust it to work outside as I suspect the connectors would not be waterproof. If you could keep the transformer dry and the connectors, chances are it could work outside - its only 12V outlet.

7.5W of LED strip that you can cut and rejoin easily for under £15 all inclusive. Pretty good if it works. Two joining clips and a clip to DC plug link were included. The far end of the strip has two wires soldered onto it. This makes splitting the strip into two particularly easy. I cut the strip, attached the clip/lead link to the cut end of the first LED portion, cut the DC plug off the lead to access the 12V wire, attached 3 meters of low voltage wire to it with standard connectors, attached the end of that wire to the existing wires on the end of the LED strip and ended up with LED's under the units on both sides of the kitchen (after negotiating a 3 meter route behind the cooker hood) The unit even comes with a little wand which turns it on/off and selects 100% / 50% / 25% intensity as desired. For parties, etc you can select them flashing (!) As it happens, I preferred 50% but sometimes use 100% if I'm doing detailed work under the lights. The colour temperature is 3000K, the same as the ceiling LED downlights. The 6000K lights would look blue in most kitchens, I should imagine. The transformer is plugged onto a socket behind the toaster out of sight. The wand is wireless operated and works two rooms away through two walls! I tried - I'm like that. It's very small (8cm) and discrete and contains a battery which will cost pence to replace when the time comes. The photos show the kitchen with no lights and at the three light intensities. The job took an hour or two but would have been far quicker if I hadn't been using one kit for both sides of the kitchen with all that meandering 3 meters to deal with. The LED strips have very sticky backing which looks to stay that way, though I'll be careful not to expose it to kettle steam or toaster heat. I used a few dozen cable clips to secure the wiring firmly - I should imagine the weight of the wire would pull the strip away at the end sooner or later. It's not often I write a review, but I've made the effort this time. It's still working, by the way

The lighting quality is good with adjustable brightness. Switch and adapter is included as well, would recommend use with a diffuser for optimal look.

So annoying having to write this review and only give 3 stars overall when actually the product itself is amazing. It’s amazingly bright and has an adjustable remote where you can dim the light up and down. It’s all round amazing but the thing that ruins it ALL, is that 4 lights at the bottom of my mirror (see photo) have stopped working which ruins the whole product. It means I’m gonna have to take the lights down as it looks very odd and ruins the whole display- and what’s worse is, I’m not entitled to a refund or a new set to be sent to me because I’ve had them 7 months. I don’t know about any of you guys, but I’d expect a set of lights like these to last more than 7 months, especially when they are self-adhered to my mirror now which means I’m gonna have to peel them all off. Not happy at all and amazon said they had a “sufficient life span” when I explained I hadn’t even had them a year... so what I would say is yes they’re a good set of lights and very bright, but only buy if you’re prepared to replace every half a year. Wouldn’t be so bad if I was sent a new set but that’s not the case. Disappointed :-(.
