Under cabinet, back of the TV or wherever you want to stick these lights, they look great! Small form factor and sticky backs makes them easy to stick in many locations. Packaging recommends the the back of the TV as bias lights, and as they are USB powered, this only makes sense. However, with practically any USB charger, you can plug these into a stand wall outlet and put them anywhere else you'd like. Near the stove or the sink is definitely not a good idea, as the extra heat/humidity will make the sticky back fail pretty quick.
Included are two couplers, one very short and one much longer, so that you can have several feet between the lights: handy if you want one strip down each side of your TV. The short coupler is so small that it is basically butting the two strips together.
Remote is very easy to use. There is one button for each color and another for white, for the total of sixteen colors as the package says. On/Off, brightness +/- and then four effect buttons are the others. Effect wise, there is a little to be desired. 'Flash' switches between color, about 1 a second. Strobe does the same... only slower? This seems really weird. Fade, as the name implies does a slow fade from one color to the next, at about 1 per second. Smooth is roughly the same, but slightly faster. I don't think they are named appropriately. But they all function, so that's good!
Overall, recommended if you're looking for small and effective sticky back LED lights on a USB!
