LED NEON Light, AC 110-120V Flexible LED Neon Strip Lights, 120 LEDs/M, Waterproof 2835 SMD LED Rope Light + Controller Power Cord for Home Decoration (16.4ft/5m, Blue)

The media could not be loaded. Our pool was built in the late 90s. It had fiber optic lights around the perimeter. They required very expensive, hard to find bulbs for replacement, a fire hydrant sized console for the bulb, fan and rotating glass wheel to change colors and it had to pretty much be dark to see the lights.We ripped the fiber optic cable out and replaced it with this strip of lights that is the first 110v led lights in one strip long enough to go around the pool that I have seen. We used white bathroom caulk to secure the strand in the groove for the old fiber optic cable.These lights are MUCH brighter. They are visible in direct mid day sun though not bright. But if it is shady or dusk they are bright (the video is at dusk and doesn't really do them justice honestly) and at night they are VERY bright. I like the more continuous neon look of them although there is a small break in the light every foot (so that you can safely cut it too length).The only negative I would say is that the remote could have more functions like letting you program your own sequence of colors, but it is a minor issue. Not sure I would have taken the time to do that anyway.Of course, the longer strands aren't cheap and the big question is how will the system stand up to being outdoors long term. We have a powered pool cover so the control box is hid from rain and direct sun down with the pulley mechanisms. But it will still see some pretty big temperature variation and condensation. The strand itself I don't have doubts about, just the control box.I will update you about longevity (2 months of summer, no issues). If the seller reads this, please be sure to make replacement control boxes for sale at a reasonable price if you want to get decent reviews because if mine goes out and I either can't get one or you overcharge for it, your rating will plummet.

The media could not be loaded. These lights exceeded our expectations 10-fold. We bought them because they are waterproof because we use them in an Inflatable foam pit. They are easy to set up, they twist and get kinked like a hose, so you have to to twist the roll a little during setup. They remote and rf device could be better, you need to be RIGHT NEAR the device to change the settings. I wouldn't recommend the strobe setting, it is a strong flash and hard to see but it is only because they are so amazing. The remote is hard to read in the daylight because it it black text on gray buttons...so learn your remote before you use it and have a small flash light. It is also weirdly shaped so it slipped out of my hand several times because the edges are all smooth and curved.Overall, totally amazing lights for what we use them for; I think a 4.5/5 is my actual rating because of things mentioned, but not enough of a bother to drop it to a 4. Not sure how they would hold up long term in the elements but they work great for a few hours in a wet environment.Totally unbiased, non-solicited review from an actual user.

The brightness and colors are great but every time you hit a color option on the remote, it's not the color you click on. When you stop or play a movie on your TV, the neon light strip changes or colors which is weird. This started happening about 2 weeks after I bought these, and I am not the only person that had complained about this issue. The red color option no longer works as well as other colors on the remote so I now have a limited option to choose from. I didn't ask for a refund because the quality of the rope looks sturdy and it really lights up a room.

There are quite a few things I like about this light set....first, it's flexibility. I was able to contort it to make the pictured art project that has 14 feet of the light twisted around behind it. Second, I like how weather proof the construction seems to be as the lights are sealed in a silicone? shield that does subdue the lighting a bit but they are still bright enough. And third, the remote works well. I can stand 20 feet away with the controller 9 feet off the ground and it still picks up the signal. The light strip comes with the controller attached to the light string via a sealed plug-in for weather resistance. If I could change one thing, it would be to allow for easy disconnection and reconnection of the controller as I did have some trouble with that. I needed the connection to go through a wall and I didn't separate the controller from the light strip properly the first time around. I ended up frying the controller and contacted IEKOV who went above and beyond in helping to fix the issue.I would highly recommend this light strip and IEKOV!

First off, it says in the instructions that you can cut it but what it doesn't tell you is that the piece that you had cut off is useless now. After that, I had my 5m-long strip all setup and ready to go. The first time I turned it on it was a disappointment already, I could easily see the individual led lights inside of the diffuser. It didn't look bad from afar, yet. Now, I never used them for more than a 4-hour long session and I had been using them for the last 2 weeks (somedays I didn't turn them on). So all in all, I used them for around 50 hours. Additionally, I always used one color only, orange, but in the last 4 days it has been getting worse everyday I turn them on. As you can see in the pictures attached to this review, some parts just turn off in certain colors and in some others, they're either at a lower instensity of the color set, which you can't change by any means or another random color that aside from looking wrong, kilos the vibe. I regret each and every peny I spent on this stupid strip and I hope you don't buy this. If you're reading this, it means that you are questioning yourself whether to buy these or not, please don't. In my case, I'm going to buy a one-color neon strip lights because they're more likely to last longer from what I've seen.In conclusion, what I learned from this is to read the reviews first, which is what you're doing right now so great and most of rgb strp lights (at least the ones in the 30-80 dollars range) fail all the time, so don't buy these lights and have a nice day.
