Incredible value for such fantastic performance!
I purchased this product to illuminate the case for my new computer build. The reviews and price were what influenced my decision to try this company's light strips rather than the other choices available. The kit arrived in nice retail packaging with no missing parts; it contains two LED strips, a remote, a small base unit with two leads and an attached infrared sensor. Power is supplied via a 4-pin Molex connector. If your PSU does not possess the correct connector, you will need to buy one. The PSU I purchased, the Seasonic Snow Silent 1050w, Seasonic SNOW SILENT-1050 1050W 80 PLUS Platinum ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply w/ Active PFC did come with a Molex to PCI-E adapter, however I cannot assume that all power supplies will be generous enough to provide one as well.Once the kit was installed and I turned the computer on, I was amazed at how well the LEDs were illuminating the case! In the attached picture, I only used a single LED strip -- and the kit comes with two. The attached photo demonstrates just how bright and clean a single LED strip looks. Later on, I found where I wanted to install the second strip; it worked just as well as the first. I was very impressed.The remote not only allows the LEDs to change colors, you can also set options to strobe, flash and fade an assortment of colors. If you're really looking to show off, these LEDs are a lot of fun. Just be sure to mount the IR sensor somewhere where line-of-sight will be available to the remote.Some purchasers are critical of the peel-and-stick adhesive backing. I had no problem with the material. It might be because I cleaned the surface area first and I made sure I wouldn't have to remove and re-apply the LED strip elsewhere. The adhesive is 3M brand; I found it sufficiently strong to secure one LED strip vertically and the other upside-down inside the case.I have no problem recommending these to anyone looking for a really great way to light up their computer case; this LED light strip kit is an incredible value!

Fantastic light strip
Very impressed with this light strip, especially for the price! It produces a very even glow provided you can hide the strip itself out of the line of sight into your case. There are 16 color choices and ten brightness options that take it from a very nice glow to a strong shine that will illuminate anything in even the largest case.The only negative aspect I can find is that the four color-changing options all cycle through the colors extremely quickly. I wish there was an option that made the colors cycle very slowly, maybe a full pass of the 16 colors in an hour; that way you get a dynamic case without it being distracting. That said, I probably wouldn't use that option for long anyway, so it's not a big deal at all.

Great price, great product
A great alternative to something more expensive like the Hue Plus (especially considering it's sold out everywhere right now lol). So the packaging was pretty generic, kind of expected at the price point. Comes with very strong 3M adhesive on the back, 2 strips of LEDs, and then the power converter which also has a wire with the receiver for the remote on it. It connects to your PC via a molex connector from the PSU (molex adapter also included) and also contains a connector that connects the two LED strips to each other. The wiring, in my opinion, is a bit too long and can be difficult to hide very well.The remote has a button for every available color, and pressing it will turn the LEDs to the selected color and they will be solid. There are also buttons for lighting affects. My biggest gripe with the lighting affects are as follows: 1. When you choose an effect, it activates the effect, but it also cycles through all the colors. It isn't possible to select a lighting effect and have it apply that effect to only your current color. 2. There are 4 effects, flash strobe fade and smooth. Strobe and fade are basically the same exact thing. Flash and smooth are basically the same thing. So essentially you're getting two effects, not 4, and it can only cycle through all of the colors. Not a deal breaker for me because I was looking for solid light anyhow.Now for the positives: 1. The adhesive is very sticky. Once installed they aren't going anywhere. Would've preferred magnets, but the adhesive works just fine. 2. These LEDs are BRIGHT. Like very very BRIGHT. My case looks amazing with these LEDs installed. I hid them completely out of site, and they illuminate the entire inside of my corsair 450D case. 3. The remote is a really nice touch. The only downside, is that if the remote ever breaks, you're kind of screwed. Hopefully you will have the lights how you want them, because you'll never be able to change it again lol.In closing, I would absolutely recommend these to anyone that's trying to add some light and spunk to their build. Very good price, very good quality. Couldn't be happier with this purchase, especially at less than half the price of it's main competition.

Tape backing will fail on you most likely after a few days
The colors are bright and light up my NZXT i700 fallout special edition case.You can also adjust the brightness with is nice. Sometimes I take the brightness down or turn them off with the remote when the room is dark.Only negative and my son had the same problem is that the adhesive, while seems as sticky as anything on the planet, it will fall off the case after a couple days. Especially if it is mounted upside down in the top of the case. It’s really weird cause you touch that adhesive and it feels like it would never come off.After a frustrating week pushing the light strip back on my case (opening it over and over which is annoying), I made a loop of industrial duct tape and affixed the light strips vertically in my case. Issue solved. But unfortunate.The remote works great with a receiver sensor you can mount for easy transmission of signal.
