I have the LED chain placed directly on the sideboard, on my stereo and TV components are housed. The LEDs illuminate the white wall from below. The brightness is sufficient even in bright daylight. The color spectrum is very nice especially in the blue and violet tones. Unfortunately, the color yellow to orange but have a slight green tint. The structure and the mating of the parts was easy. After plugging the power adapter into the power outlet, the LEDs glowed green. With the remote control all functions could select. Due to the low transmission power of the IR remote control you have to aim pretty much on the receiver. Also has a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver are made. But then distances are no problem to 5m. With a sensitive meter I measured the Line power. When white light and full brightness 17W are implemented. In muted turquoise light (the standard evening lighting) only 10W. When switched off, the standby power 1W.
Conclusion: For the price a great product. In local IBO hardware store (or something similar) a comparable product was (exact same remote control and LED Strip also looks alike) for 55 sold.
