BTF-LIGHTING RGBW RGB+Natural White SK6812 (Similar WS2812B) 16.4ft 5m 60LEDs/Pixels/m Individually Addressable Flexible 4 Colors in 1 LED Dream Color LED Strip White PCB IP30 Non-Waterproof DC5V

These are pretty cheap strips, but because they're RGBW, the brightness and colour accuracy is surprisingly good. Because they're the 5v variants, they're ideal to use as 1m lengths and run quite cool. Heck, you can drive a 1m length directly from an ESP32 without external power, even at full brightness- this makes them ideal for WLED fun and games. If you look around on Amazon, you can find aluminium ducting with diffuser strips too, which you can slide these into, which makes it a lot easier to mount them discretely out of the way for "magic" lighting. With WLED on ESP32 driving these and talking to Home Assistant, you can easily have centrally controlled lighting with all sorts of interesting effects- for a fraction of the cost of various poorly-supported off the shelf options. It's a lot easier than you'd expect, for the casual tinkerer. TL;DR- these are good strips with well-supported chipsets. They're easy to drive and have reasonable colour accuracy and brightness. At this price, they're well worth having to play with.

Great product, used with WLED Quin Dig-Uno controller, separated and soldered. Although soldered with thick wires (1.5mm2) was difficult and break but due to length of cable, but I don't advise to use the thin DC cables if have 1m supply DC cable Strip has weatherproof silicon cover, so it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor application. Highly recommended for DIY fans!

Well made and easy to use, just the Job for custom lighting using WLED.

Bought these lights for a DIY Ambilight project. Originally bought WS2812b strip from the same company, but wasn’t entirely happy with the whites from the basic RGB strip. Definitely happy with the upgrade. This RGBW (cool) strip really does a great job across all aspects. Adheres well, LED’s are nice and bright. Strip comes with connectors already attached at both ends. All in all. Decent quality LED strip.

I used these to customise some old plaster wall lights and bring them back to life. Connected to an ESP32 development board running WLED these LED strips are easy to program and have an excellent colour consistency. From warm white to cold white, and mixed with the RGB LEDs the output is stunning. Add in some WLED effects and they have created a really unique feature light in our home.

Been using BTF as a source of good value LED lights for many years, either from other suppliers and now a few times from amazon, as they're mostly in stock and UK dispatched. The quality of the LEDS are of good value/price. They're certaintly not the best or but definately not the worst, all dependson your application, environment and how you run them. Using clean power supplies, not running them hard and cooling helps a lot. Case in point, I've got a set of BTF WS281b strips (8m), housed in aluminium profiles, installed outside, controlled via wled and pir sensors. They've been running for nearly 2 years without problems. Of course this is timed and sensed illumination, not constantly on but have have endured all weathers and done well. I'm doing a slight upgrade using the SK6812 for better white light colour, with its dedicated white led. Hopefully these last a few years too.

We had some issues with the product, however the seller was great and communicated with us easily! Thank you for sorting the issue out!

Coupled to a Wled controller, this is a good LED strip for RGB addressing. The pitch is quiet wide but still provides a difused light when mounted behind a TV for example.
