LED Strips

[Ponsonby]

Hi All,

 

My son wants some RGB LED strips for his bedroom.

Has anyone bought any recently that they can recommend?

They seem quite expensive from the likes of Maplin but am a little concerned about some of those offered very cheaply on Amazon and Ebay.

A 5M strip is around £10 from Amazon /Ebay but around £40 to £50 from Maplin etc.

 

Thanks,

ive bought 2 10 metre rolls recently from ebay for my garage and they are fine from the way ive used them so far, they run off a leisure battery so not sure if running off house electrics may fry them??

Maplin is unbelievable with there pricing when I looked

these douchebag's have some interesting points

I got some warm white LED strips for under unit lighting in the kitchen, which were about £12 for a 5m strip and another tenner for the 12v transformer. Self adhesive and cuttable to whatever length you want. Fitted in 5 minutes and do the job well. From LE lighting. I'm pretty sure they did coloured strips and even multi-switchable colours with an additional remote control switch and unit too ... At further expense, naturally.

I've had multiple remote controlled multicoloured sets from eBay. I have had them installed in my AV racking/shelves coming on for 2 years now and they are on every day. I have had no issues with them.

 

I have installed another set about 6 months ago outside underneath my decking surrounding my pond. They have been on a lot less time maybe 20 hours total so far but seem to have coped with the winter months Ok.
