Who can not have the patience or time or want to read the rather detailed review, the opportunity also has the same below, under "Final Conclusion", read on
Packing:
In a simple, aluminum-strengthened bag, which gives information on the specification and application in English, I took the product in reception. Since no separate description included also the necessary safety information, as well as the CE mark and RoHS seals were it recognizable.
First overall impression:
The too short power cord (40cm), as well as the transformer unit and the connecting cable and LED strips make no quality impression, and are made of plastic, which has not been trimmed properly.
The LED strips (L / B / H 200/15 / 5mm) with 120 LEDs on the other hand is better processed and convinces with a robust plastic casing. The visuals are not as nice as the individual LEDs bordered flat in a contiguous strip in the plastic envelope, are numbered as well.
Application:
This LED strip is only conditionally suitable for direct illumination, due to its not very attractive appearance. Everywhere, however, where an indirect backlight is required, does this product's service, and absolutely convincing. No cold white, special really lighting the already nearly to light yellowish, just go to the warm white, create a cozy atmosphere, and provide a passive illumination for a very good brightness. Whether to install the strips in the kitchen behind the front panel, or hidden behind the display case and baseboards, cellar / party bar, or media area while watching TV, allow for a variety of applications. Even in the bedroom, where a passive lighting behind the bed can provide for atmosphere suitable.
You can light the strip also temporarily used as additional party lights. Even outdoors, the product can be applied when the the necessary safety instructions below. Although splashproof, the product open rain should still not be exposed. Here, however, the light bar is the slightest problem, but rather the power and transformer unit, which you should not expose such conditions as possible.
The attachment of the light bar can be carried out free radically, but also by clamps, or double-sided adhesive tape are fied. The viewing angle is okay, but which one should look for in fixed installations on the necessary radiation orientation. In the professional field, as an attractive window dressing, this product can be helpful, also the effect achieved, can accordingly by proper installation, convincing.
I personally have the light bar installed behind the bed, which makes the evening for a pleasant cozy atmosphere.
The Strip can also cut without necessary expertise, but also lengthen. A dimming function, as well as an on / Ausschaler missing. Here you should think in advance where the Strip to find its application, the schedule possible extensions, eg in the form of an extension cord with switch, the same in the procurement with. Advantage: This because the light bar is flat and not rounded, can be rolled up when not in use it again, and stowed away.
Security:
The existing CE marking is not a seal of approval, similar to TÜV, but must then be carried out if all EU directives are fulfilled, to be used for the product. This ensures at least a minimum level of security because the wrongful attachment will be prosecuted. The RoHS Siegel (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), precludes the use of certain hazardous chemical substances, and sets the EC Directive to 2002/95 / EC.
The protection class IP65 (International Standard) provides information with the first digit (6), which stands for dust tightness, and the second with the paragraph (5) Protects against water jets (nozzle) from any angle.
Final Verdict:
Suitable for anyone looking for an adequate indirect lighting, the price low, the power consumption low, but still boasts very good indirect light characteristics, an acceptable product that is very versatile.
Shortcomings such as the very short connection cable and the lack of on / off switch, as well as the build quality of the power supply units can, me come finally to 4 stars.
PS
Looking forward to your feedback, and each has the taken the time this review to hopefully with insights read.
