RibbonFlex Home 6.5 ft. USB LED Tape Light Kit

I always looking for new things to make improvements and I ride a motorcycle and when I saw this LED strip lighting I tough my self this is perfect to give a new look to my motorcycle and sure did because they are 12V and my motorcycle operates with a 12V battery, now it will be more safe to ride at night other cars will be able to see me, also has so many futures, I can change colors with the remote. The great think about this LED lights is that they come on strips and the connectors the scotch glue tape is amazing they really stay in place, so I can use the on different things like I also use a couple of them in the back of my tv.

My son lives this light strip. It did come defective though, as two of the light strips would not work. We also had to take apart the first connection as that was loose. A little sodder and that part was fixed. My son hooked this up to the monitor he uses for gaming. He likes the effects he can get when playing. Remote is easy to use, and should be easy to install if not defective.

The LED Tape light can be used on the back of your TV for some mood lighting. I chose to use it in my garage for some LED accent lighting. I really like that the strip comes in 4 separate pieces that can be linked together to create a MEGA piece or can be linked with an extension cable. There is not a power source so you do need to plug in the USB plug into a USB device or power supply. I always seem to have a few around. It has many more functions than I will use. I would recommend the connections be taped together so they do not slip out. It’s not a very tight fit. The strip themselves have a silicone coating which helps dissipate the light. Great addition to my garage!

This armacost led lighting strip kit gets a meh rating from me. It seems like a nice kit however, it doesn’t fit a 40” TV well plus, more cons. The strips are equal 20” lengths and require little 4 pin double male adapters to connect the union cord to each separate led strip. If you invert the pin connector, the lighting will appear messed up and invert colors to the other strips...just invert the pin/cord. To make matters worse there are no 90 degree adapter plugs so the cords loop or stick out funny and need to be taped down or they pop out. The 3M tape on the back does not stick well either to the back of the tv even after cleaning with alcohol. The light kit does work and when plugged into the available USB port of the TV, it turns on and off with the TV power while the included remote controls the color/mode/speed/brightness. I have had lots before that were executed better as far as mounting/plugs and adapters is concerned. The rest is just simple bits and pieces. When it stays on the tv and works, it makes for a fun movie night with the kids but if your TV is not 50” or larger, you will battle the cords and connections continually.

These LED strips work quite well, providing a nice backlight to my son’s desk. The LEDs are fairly close together with a slight gap where the strips join and they all appear to have the same brightness and color (which can sometimes be a problem with cheap LED strips). There are no obvious cons besides for the sticky strip wearing off after two sticks (he had to pull off one of the segments multiple times to properly line it up and now the end is peeling). A feature which I like is the variety in modes; it has 7 base colors each of which can be constant or flashing, you can select a different shade of said color (but this shade can’t flash), you can adjust the brightness of any color that is constant, and there is also a mode which transitions from color to color. The wireless controller is easy to use and has decent range. NOTE: This strip does NOT come with a power supply. You have to plug into an existing USB socket (like on the back of a modern TV). With the 4 LED strips on it draws about 0.8 amps whereas the standard for max current out of a USB 2.0 connection is 0.5 amps.

This, ARMACOST LIGHTING RIBBONFLEX HOME 6.5 FT. USB LED TAPE LIGHT KIT, BLACK looks stunning! We have several of LED Ribbon lights in white. The black ribbon just looks more pleasing to the eyes. The instructions are fairly easy to read and understand. When you install the lights, if you notice you don’t have the same color, you need to confirm the connectors are on the same polarity. Looks great behind our SmartTv!

It is a nice idea, but very what I thought. I imagined a USB strip that would color match the colors on my TV. Instead it is just a LED light strips with a remote control that you can put behind the TV for fixed accent lighting. It comes with a remote control to control the on/off and the color of the lights. It does not come with a USB to 110V adapter, you will have to supply your own if your TV does not have one or if you decide to mount it somewhere where there is no USB. The lights are very bright and the control ability is pretty good. The light strips are very long and they are extendable (it comes with four). The hard part is the expansion pins are super fragile. The pins are very small and break easily. Be very gentle.

We got these lights for a backlight behind our tv. We ended up trying them around the door in my son's bedroom. Pros: They do have a nice bright light, which is adjustable, and the colors are vibrant. Remote control works great for colors, modes, bright/dimmer, on/off Cons: Unfortunately, these pieces only slide together, instead of having clips, so the pins kept falling out, making it impossible to lay it out. So you have to tape it up to see how it looks, because otherwise the weight of two pieces connected while holding it up will cause them to pop apart. It is a great idea, unfortunately the concept didn't work out right for my purposes.

I was excited about this light kit. I've wanted back lighting on my television for some time now and I couldn't argue with the cost of this kit. I have worked with a lot of RGB strip kits and the components in this kit appeared to be well made. The install was very easy and these strips use a better quality of adhesive than a lot of other strips. Unfortunately, there is an issue with the controller. I can turn it on and set it to the demo mode or one of the primary colors, but, when I try to set a custom mode it only holds for a second or two and then switches back.

I was looking to add back lighting for our bedroom TV. The Armacost kit looked like the perfect - easy way to do this. It is! The kit includes everything I need to apply the strips including 3 extension cables to help install around corners. I decided to install as a continual strip since my TV is on a stand. I only needed to apply to the side, over the top and to the opposite side so I simply used the included plug-in splices to connect the individual strips. The individual strips are 20 inches in length and can there are indicated areas where strips can be cut, however, you loose the factory installed end connector. The LED strips have a 3M adhesive on the back that does a great job on keeping the strips in place. My TV has a USB port but it was rated for 0.5A so I used a 120 volt plug-in adapter and plugged the LED strip directly to the wall outlet. I love the result. Very easy to install and great lighting output. The remote works very well across the room and is easy to operate. Very pleased!

Great led light strips! These lights are very easy to install where ever I want. I like that they have adhesive strips along the full length which make them stay attached to whatever surface they are installed. The light intensity is adjustable, (eight settings) very bright output in highest setting and has 20 color range. They have several effects. (flashing , changing color ect. They also come with a wireless remote that excellent range, 50 ft unobstructed. The strips come in four sections which I can connect together in series or, if I don't need the length, which is about 6 feet, I can just use the strips required for the space. Also included are 3 extension cables with 8 extra pin connectors for greater flexibility when installing in different shaped surfaces.

Bright enhancement to video conferencing from a desktop! These lights feature 22 display modes, 20 different colors, 8 levels of brightness and 5 speeds of patterns, in addition to just displaying the solid color of your choice. The display modes include: 1) slow fade/grow through all colors 2) Fade/grow double shift all colors 3) slow fade/grow through primary RGB 4) slow fade/grow Blue, Violet, Yellow, Turquise, White, Red, Green, repeat 5-11) Slow fade grow in only Red; Green, Blue; Pink; Yellow; Aqua; White 12) blink 1/sec rotate Green, Blue, Red 13) Rotate without blink Green, Blue, Red 14) Rotate White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Aqua 15-21) Short blink 1/sec Red; Green; Blue; Yellow; Pink; Aqua; White 22) solid colors, adjustable brightness in 8 steps: Red Green, Blue, Yellow, Aqua, Pink, White The 43 second video shows all 20 colors photographed against both black and white backgrounds. These are bright enough to provide great illumination during a video call even in a well-lit room (see photos with/without LEDs on). To connect these around my dual monitors, I applied the first self-stick strip on the top of my left monitor, ending at the interface to my right monitor. I bridged the bottom to the top with 3 of the provided extension cables, behind the display, then continued the run from the bottom of the right monitor to the left. These can be trimmed if they are too long, but worked fine for my large 32" monitors. Each segment is about 20" long. Each extension cable is 10" long. 8 joiner pins came with the set, which can either directly link LED strip-to-strip, or link an LED strip to an extension cable. It's a great set, very bright, very versatile, and works well plugged into either a USB port, or a portable USB power-pack.

This is a fun little light strip. I got this to add a little flair and pizazz to my man room and it sure does the trick. This is very easy to set up right out of the package and I had no problems. I installed as under mounted lights on my computer desk and the effects from the lights are both relaxing and amazing. The remote control is also very easy to use and helps provide unlimited combinations for a personalized light show Again this is a fun gadget.

This is a unique LED adhesive strip light kit. It has lots of features but has several short LED light strips that you connect together. This is different than longer strips you cut to size. It comes with a bunch of connector pins and some connector cables for changing direction of turning corners. The lights are very bright and the color selection via the remote is good. the variety of settings lets you cycle through colors or just set everything to the same colors. This kit does not come with a power supply but rather uses power from a USB jack. You can always use a phone type charger to power it, as long as it is good for at least 1 amp.

A good way to add LED lighting to a computer case, or in my house, backlighting on a flat screen TV. I built the set and taped the joints (see the photos) before installation. I removed the backing on the two sided tape so it wasn't stuck under the taped joints. I used electrical tape on all joints so they would stay together. (pro tip, don't tear electrical tape, it won't last--cut electrical tape and the joint lasts for decades). I cleaned the surface before mounting. Carefully attached it to the backside of the TV and bang it was done. I love the controls, colors and brightness. Still working on the right combo but it's a massive improvement over a dark wall fro bring out the contrast on the TV.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

The remote control sometimes doesn't work. Especially when you change the setting. if you link it more than probably would not work as it is advertised. Other than that I love the way it brights and some of the colors schemes but that's it.

I bought one of these to add some extra light around my home office. Since we're all gonna be work from home for ever, I figure I might as well. Product came fast, was super easy to set up and install and most importantly it works as described. So often these types of purchases are a toss up, but this kit works wonderfully and I'd highly recommend it for a low-cost light option.

Trash save your money. Lights kept changing color by itself. Turned off and on when it pleased. It’s lighting the bottom of my garbage can now.
