Product Information

Animated Effects With 50 Color Zones】With 50 customizable color zones, you can set the color combinations you want for any scenario for a fully customized LED light experience for the bedroom, home office, and more. Choose from dozens of preset animated effects to change the tone of your space. Whether it be a relaxing “Raindrop” effect or an uplifting "Rainbow" effect, you can light your space with a touch of a button. Unlike many other light strips, the Sengled Smart Zigbee Multicolor Light Strip requires a base station if you want to connect it to your smart home. That does result in a mark against this light strip because it represents an extra expense, but it also comes with a hidden benefit. If you want to add LED light strips to a bedroom that’s a little far away from your wireless router, where a standard light strip wouldn’t be able to connect, you can place the base station somewhere between the two and not have to worry about how weak the Wi-Fi network is in your bedroom. TJOY LED Strip Lights provide the best value if you’re working on a tight budget. When you look at the cost per foot for these strip lights, many of our top recommendations are as much as 10 times more expensive. The stripped-down TJOY lights are a little light on features, such as app control, but you can’t beat the value. These strips use super bright 5050 LEDs, come with a power adapter, and include a remote that lets you set a specific color or access a handful of programs like flashing or gradually changing colors. You can’t control the strips with a phone app or your smart home speaker, and TJOY doesn’t provide some key information, like exactly how bright the strips are, but you have to expect some cut corners to get a value this good.

When selecting a brightness, brighter is typically better. There’s clearly no reason to buy a 500+ lumens per foot strip just for mood lighting, but what if you change your mind and want something brighter in the future? If you end up with a light strip that’s too bright, you can always install a dimmer, and some even have a dim function built right in.

He’s had firsthand installing and using LED strip lights in his own home and has over a decade of experience reviewing electronics for outlets like Lifewire and Digital Trends, in addition to The Spruce. The RGBIC is a new technology to display the colors and can make a room pop! One strip can be multiple colors and blend together. Pros

Customer reviews

Both the RGB and RCBIV LED strips from Govee Smart Lights are exceptional and affordable products. However, they differ significantly, and both present their strengths. All thanks to the IC or Independent Control chip that gives you the power to display multiple colors in one light strip at the same time. And you can gain control of each segment’s color. On the other hand, the RGBIC Strips can’t be cut simply because they have an IC chip, and the lights will not work if you cut it. Summary: RGBIC LED strip light is a utility home improvement. It can display various colors simultaneously. However, it cannot be cut like regular RGB strip lights. And RGBIC strip light is more expensive than RGB and RGBW strip light.

You cannot achieve some things with an RGBIC strip that can be done with an RGB one. And vice versa. Installing LED light strips outside isn’t that different from installing them inside, but you do need to worry about the elements. That's why we're excited about the HitLights Outdoor LED Strip Lights, which have an IP67 water-resistance rating, the second-highest rating for protection against liquids. That means these light strips are perfectly safe to use in the rain. You can even submerge them in water to a depth of up to 1 meter. Impressive, right? To wire that kind of LED light strip to a light switch, you need to obtain a separate transformer and wire the transformer to the light switch. In that case, you’re usually better off consulting with a professional electrician,“ says Walter. “That way you'll ensure the job is done right.” The Philips Hue Bluetooth Gradient Lightstrip is expensive, but it’s well worth the splurge if you have room in your budget and don’t want to deal with any hassles. These strips are easy to install, and they have plug-and-play electrical connectors that allow you to attach additional strips. You can technically cut and splice just like any other LED strip, but there’s no need. The base kit starts at 6 feet, and then you can add additional strips in 3-foot increments.RGBIC (RGB + a built-in Independent Chip) strip light is a higher level of the RGB strip light. It has the same color options, over 16 million colors, like RGB and RGBW strip light. RGBIC LED strip lights' built-in independent chip could display a rainbow-like lighting effect. Sensky’s Motion Activated LED Strip Lights are perfect for closets and other applications where you don’t have easy access to a power outlet. You can pull off and charge the rechargeable battery unit that supplies power to these light strips whenever it runs down. The battery unit has a switch you can use to turn the lights on manually or set it to auto, and the light will turn on whenever it detects motion. You can hardwire LED light strips to a light switch, but it usually isn’t necessary. Most LED light strips run on 12 or 24 volts and use a power adapter that you plug into your wall outlet. “I suggest finding something either 12V or 24V, which is considered extra-low voltage,” says Belanger. It was a great add-on to my room as I placed it under my bed. And for young kids, this can totally be a fun nightlight to have! Cons Though the different colors in the RGBIC strip can be fun, it also means it cannot be cut. Therefore, it can be harder to install in walls in which you cannot utilize a clipping connector. The bottom line

Though bright, it is not as radiant as an RGBIC strip, which is not as potent and can light up a room way better. RGBIC It is cuttable because it does not contain an IC chip, but it also means that the strip can only stay in one color at a time. Other LED strips can range in color and have an Ombre effect. Aside from the great value, the best thing about Govee Smart Wi-Fi RGBWW LED Strip Lights is the flexibility you get with RGBWW LEDs. Strips with this configuration include alternating RGB, white, and warm-white LEDs. So if you’re looking for some colorful mood lighting, the RGB LEDs do the heavy lifting, but if you want more natural, warm light, the white LEDs switch on. To cut Govee Lights, you will need to make sure you have the right type of LED Strip. RGB LED Strips can be cut. This is because they do not contain an IC chip.I have personally reviewed a Govee Smart Light RGB LED Strip and have loved it. Though you cannot have access to some features included with the RGBIC. Pros These light strips come in a 9.8-foot length and put out more than enough brightness for mood lighting while being right on the edge for functional lighting. That means you’ll probably still have to rely on your traditional lighting in some situations, but you might be surprised at how little you reach for the light switch. The appearance of LED lighting has evolved in the past few years. What was once only available in niche specialty stores is now an affordable and easy-to-install addition to any home or office. Over the past decade, high demand for LED lights has resulted in an abundance of manufacturers producing a wide variety of LEDs to meet consumer demand. There are many ways to operate an LED light strip after installation, so it’s good to give that some thought ahead of time. The most common options include strips with a physical switch, strips that operate via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, motion-controlled strips, and physically wiring your LED light strips to a wall switch or dimmer.
