YGS-Tech Super Bright 24 Watts UV Black Light LED Strip, 16.4FT/5M 3528 300LEDs 395nm-405nm Waterproof IP65 Blacklight Night Fishing implicitly Party with Power Supply

I used these black light LEDs as underglow for my arcade machine. The accent colors of the cabinet are blue and purple so I figured the purple light would look good and not be too bright.These LEDs are truly within the black light spectrum and will make white and fluorescent colored items glow in the dark. It should be known that because of this, they will never be super bright. They are however, bright enough to be seen during the day, and are exceptional with the lights off.I cut the LED strip many times and re-soldered using thin guage wire at all junctions where I wanted the strip to change directions. The solder pads readily accepted solder and did not overheat or burn as some cheap strips do. There are two solder points per junction.I adhered the LEDs to my machine using the self adhesive tape on the back of the strip. They stuck firmly to plastic, plywood and the rough edge of particle board. I cleaned the surface as well as I could and pressed the tape onto the surfaces. The tape has remained firmly attached, without any maintenance.I have around a week of continuous use of these lights. All LEDs worked when the strip was new, and they all still light up with the same intensity as new. There are no dead or dim LEDs.

Used this to remove the yellowing on my Dreamcast console. Good number of lights for use on a decent sized container. The power adaptor does not heat up like what other reviews mentioned even after leaving it plugged in for 24hrs.

got these for a curing station for my resin 3D printer, and it works great.I took an old drywall mud bucket, used some spray adhesive inside, lined it with foil, and then strung these lights in it. I have a clear stand that I put my print on, and then put the bucket over it, and the whole print is cured after a few minutes.I definitely need to put this on a timer, as I found it will burn\yellow white resin if you leave it in for too long. However, it is not as strong as other sets which can heat up or warp prints while doing the post-process curing.

The media could not be loaded. The Good - these lights are SUPER bright and work excellent for night fishing. Since I bought them for that purpose, I can’t complain because they overperform for the price in my opinion. But that’s the only positive.The Bad - the adhesive backing is absolute garbage and didn’t last a day before it was falling off my boat. I prepped the surface as directed but it made no difference. Also, while trying to peel the backing off to apply the strip it was taking the adhesive off with the backing, the first sign it was garbage. Next, these strips are pieced together in the cheapest way possible and they break apart on their own way too easily so you’d be wise to buy some 10mm 2-pin strip connectors as a precaution.So to wrap it up, don’t rely on the adhesive backing to mount these and make sure you get connectors for when they break (because they will break) and these are well worth the price for the UV quality and brightness they provide. I highly recommend them for night fishing as you can see in the video. The line illuminates a good 15ft from the boat off these lights.

5 gallon bucket from home depot, silver ducting tape from Home Depot, some kind of drill to make a hole in the top for the plug, job done. Would recommend to anyone wanting to do the same.

When these were working, they seemed to be decently bright, though doubt a full 36 watts: 24 watt strips purchased at the same time were almost indiscernible in brightness. The lights are sealed within a strip of plastic or resin for waterproofness, but sure does not matter if they stop working almost immediately anyway (and without moisture as a potential cause). I purchased two of these about two months apart, yet both started turning white within two days of use, losing any kind of black light effect within four days (they were surrounding black light reactive artworks). They were installed lining the interior of exhibit cases and were not even on for hours at a time when they died, just prior to exhibit opening. I replaced them with the other brand of lights (Ollrieu) purchased at the same time, which have been on for 8 hours a day for a week now with zero issues. Those are not sealed within a protective coating, but that also makes them easier to install in and around corners than these crappy lights that died.I cannot offer a good alternative if you need a waterproof strip, but if that is not a concern, purchase the black light strip by Ollrieu instead:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086QHWWTR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I only used mine about 3 days time and now it only flashes intermittently. Upon further investigation it had a bulging capacitor in the power supply. Having to buy a replacement now and hope it's better than the last

Only issue i have is with transformer, need to make sure it's connected prior to plugging in or it can cause small spark when plugging in.
