Got 5050 ones from ebay.

Have them in the bedroom (perfect for setting the mood. When the other half seems the room glowing red from the street when she comes round, she knows she's in for a good time!)

Also got a set in the front room.

ROOOOXXXXXAAAAANNNNEEEE

you dont have to put on the red light,

Why are you asking us?

As others have said yes they can..

to provide a more complete answer.. for RGB ones you'll likely need 4 wires between each segment..
you can cut these with scissors but you have to cut at certain points (usually marked with a dotted line), and then scrape the end of the waterproof silicon off carefully with a knife to get to the copper contacts (that you will have cut in half if following the line), you then solder to each of these and do the same on the other end.. I use this to have lighting above, below and at floor level under each of my kitchen units..

If you use white only LEDs (which is recommended if you dont care about the crazy colours - as the RGB ones are rubbish at making white), then you only need 2 cores between each end.. (cheap 2 core wire works well here - even door bell wire works for short distances)

Its also significantly easier to get the NON-waterproof ones if you plan to do a lot of joins as it saves needing to cut/scrape off the waterproof silicon coating to make the connections.

The soldering is very easy though as the pads you solder too are massive.

If you have any problems doing it message me and ill send you some photos and help out.

can't see a power adaptor with it.can you help/advise ?

be aware no power supply

Bought for our caravan ;-)

has anyone tried these with a Chinese philips hue compatible zigbee controller?

why would you hook up 10m of LEDs to your car ?
you get much brighter LEDS with the 5050 chips and there are tons of kits on ebay cheap with power supplies, you will also find this kit will not display true white it will be more like blue

Clearly someone is getting paid by gearbest here... and banggood

Don't bother; absolute rubbish. Half of the LEDs on one strip did not work and the other was cracked so that there was no power beyond that point. Threw them out.

Would also recommend 5050 RGB LED's over these.

2 times ive ordered from gearbest and both never turned up

Theres quite a few sellers on Ebay offering the same, however this is the one I ordered from.

Search for item number 281343832989

5M 300 LED 5050 Non-Waterproof / RGB / With adapter & remote - £12.99

Service was excellent. First set I received didnt stick to the wall. Went upsatirs and hour later and they had come off. Emailed the seller and they sent me another pack out FOC. Had the same issue so went to B&Q and purchased some "No More Nails" double sided tape. 6 months later and they are still holding up strong.

forgive my ignorance, can these be split into two and joined together by a cable?

ie, was thinking putting it around the kitchen unit but there is a cooker between the units - so can a wire join between two strips (that had been cut from one reel) and still light up?

I got some of these last Wednesday, seriously my underpants have never looked so good, I just want to get some carbon filters for them as any one down wind of my pants isn't safe anymore.

He might not know the answer to his question, yet I wonder how we're supposed to know either. Reminds me of the time when a customer came in to the shop I work at and said I've got a virus it's encrypted all my photos! Get them back please! I said you can't it's crypto locked, it's impossible (unless you know the FBI:) ) So he said WHY wasn't I told about this? I thought hmm there's loads of people I haven't told, so I'm telling you all now in case you come over to me and ask why I never told you about it.

Anyway there's loads of people that write on this forum that are clueless how to use a question mark properly, I'd guess this person is one of them.

I work in retail lighting and sell LED strip all day ... this stuff is not good quality! if you do buy it make sure you stick it on metal do not stick on wood/plastic it will over heat and burn out.

Ordered as I already have two that I paid a lot more for and wanted to double the length :smiley:

Cheap products but. very bad customer service. don't expect a refund if you get a faulty item from gearbest.

I do not know much about LED`s but my son does and he bought from http://www.thetreasurehut.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=104 he also bought some for both my daughters houses they have them above the kitchen worktops. They work well and have done for over a year now.

Been looking at this type of thing on Amazon recently. Nearly every product has reviews saying the psu caught fire.

I voted hot but then saw that this doesn't include the power adapters - which makes this not so hot.

wow your a ray of light arent you ?

jesus the question mark was supposed to be a exclamation mark. lighten up what a ****

I think you'll find you need a 5A psu to run "both"

shows £7.74 if paying with PayPal.

6 core alarm wire works well too

you are correct, I thought that 30w was combined

I can be other Madonna albums, at paid request of course.

Lol im guessing "like a virgin"? :smiley:
