Great bias light for the television

This light strip looks awesome! I used zip ties to attach this to 2 wire coat hangers to give it some rigid structure. Then I used 3M Command strip hooks on the wall behind my tv and I hung up these lights. I shaped them so that the light comes out of the left, right and top of my tv but not the bottom. That made it easier to hang up by just slipping over and around existing wiring and tv mount, but it also worked better by not shining lights on the furniture underneath my tv.

The lights turned out to be brighter than expected. I usually run them at 35% to 50% brightness. At 50% they shine enough light to light a 30' x 12' living room. The picture here shows the lights set to 50%.

Works great - The LED illuminates the input selected and it's easy to change inputs with the push of the button.  I purchased a 12" HDMI cable for the TV connection so this switch dangles from the back of the TV.  For my set-up, this conceals the switch but allows convenient access to change HDMI inputs.  Further, I can detect no loss of picture quality from this device..

It definitely looks as though the TV is on in the room.  It is a good, bright light that shows up well.  I was not able to get the "dusk plus ? hours" to work properly so I put it on an exterior timer and it works well.  I would order it again, though.

I purchased the "fake TV Light" after several break ins in our urban neighborhood.  I put the light in a back window that faces the alley.  It goes on automatically  and turns off in 7 hours.  Has other settings too.  The light emits a flicker of various tones that looks exactly like a TV.  It looks like someone is home watching a late night show without turning on your actual TV or using alot of electricity.  Anyone observing my home wiould assume that someone is HOME and AWAKE.  A good crime deterrent.

I recently started looking for a means to set up some lighting behind my TV in the livingroom, as when my family and I watch TV at night, we like to have some light in the room other than the constant bright to dark flickering of what's being displayed on the TV. The problem is all of the lights in the livingroom have a habit of reflecting off the TV screen or throwing up glare onto it. So we have to resort to to turning on the end-table lamp that's closest to being behind the TV and then swivel the TV slightly to the right. But even then it's still not that great as we still get some glare on the TV and it casts light on the screen diminishing the colors, washing them out.

Luckily I came across this white LED Strip set, and I am very pleased to say that it fits the bill PERFECTLY. I really couldn't ask for more!

When the LED strips first arrived I immediately went to unpack them so that I could give them a bit of a test. They were packaged with very adequate protection protecting them against damage during shipment. Even the product packaging itself contained bubble wrap sheets around and inbetween the two LED strip reels to prevent any kind of issue. I really like it when a company takes this much care with their product.

Once I got the LED strips unpacked and opened up the product packaging, I was greeted with a VERY nice surprised, something I didn't expect what-so-ever. The LED strips actually come with two of those DC12V 5.5mm x 2.1mm Female Plug Adapters that allow you to simply attach the positive and negative wires with set-screws and then plug the strip right in to a power supply. No soldering needed! This is awesome, because I had my stuff out and ready, thinking I was going to have to do some soldering, cutting and splicing. NOT needed! It seems like something silly to get so excited about, but this really thrilled me. I love extra value in a product.

So I went ahead and connected the provided female adapters to the lead wires on both LED strips and hooked them up to an extra 4-amp DC12V power supply that I had sitting around and tada', LIGHT! Each of the strips functioned absolutely perfect. All of the LEDs lit up as they should and with an even brightness across the entire LED strip. These are some really good LED strips. And now I'm onto my first project, setting up a strip around the backside edge of the TV and a strip underneath each of the shelves of the TV stand. I cut one of the strips to the lengths that I needed and rigged up a little temporary test, holding them up with masking tape and using alligator clips temporarily, and it looks awesome!

If you're looking for some quality cool white/white LED strips, look no further. These are what you're looking for without a doubt.

Pros:
- Unexpectedly came with female plug adapters! (awesome!)
- Very nice quality of the strips/leds themselves.
- Even lighting across the entire strip on both strips.

Cons:
- There really aren't any cons as far as I've seen. The LED strips do have a slight adhesive smell to them when you first remove them from the packaging, but this goes away almost immediately. I attribute this to the adhesive used while manufacturing the strips themselves, and when it was packaged it likely accumulated and got a bit stinky. So this is really a non-issue.

I bought this to put on the cabinet where my large TV is located.  I wanted a low level light and have placed a picture printed on glass in front of it so that the picture is illuminated when I turn the light on. (but don't want it so bright it interferes with seeing the TV)  My only negative is that you can't set the level of light and then turn it on and off at that level.  You turn it on and off easily enough, with just a touch on the lamp's base.  But adjusting the level of light is tricky.  You keep your finger touching the base until you get the light level where you want it, and then when you take your finger away it is supposed to stay at that level until you turn it off.  I've found that most of the time it just keeps dimming until it turns off entirely.  So, I've just adjusted to the light being on full light, instead of me being able to adjust the light to a lower level.

Used these as indirect mood lighting on the wall as well as bias lighting behind my TV. Very easy to control with an ESP8266. Came well packed on the spool, no dead pixels. Would order again if I needed more.

It was very easy to install and the lighting is great. I used this as the recessed lighting around my new entertainment center I designed. I had heard that the product is sensitive to other remote controls but I use the following and have not had an issue: Comcast universal remote; Sony television remote; Samsung television remote; Logitech audio remote.

Perfect for televisions that have only one USB port but have several bias lighting kits.

This light exceeded our expectations and is very reasonably priced. It allows my wife to read while I watch TV with no disturbing glare. After I purchased and installed it for her she told me she really likes it.

Easy installation. This replaced an older fluorescent fixture that I was using previously and it does a much better job.  Only complaint is that the cord was too short for my setup, but to be fair, most TVs have the USB port on the back of the set, but on my Samsung, the connectors are on a separate box, which I have sitting below my TV.  Was surprised that it also came with an AC adapter, which I decided to use instead of the TV's USB port.  It also included a second strip of double sided tape in case you need to to move it.

I needed a light behind my monitor to balance out the brightness of my monitor in our office which is not well lit. The light is perfect and very adjustable. I do wish that the switch would stay on so that I could use a remote switch but that's just not how it works, no problem. Looks great, thanks!

Got this for my daughter for Christmas.  The light is surprisingly bright and these are made pretty well for an 'as seen on TV' item.

This is a great accessory to my 55 inch TV.  I have it centered on the back and it lights up the room.  However it doesn't appear to work through the USB.  Plugging it in works perfectly

I've used a fluorescent backlight on my last two TVs and loved it for the better picture quality and diminished eyestrain, but it was powered off a separate switch and a little hard to get at on the back of the TV each time. When I saw the Luminoodle I was intrigued--low amperage draw, less heat, better light diffusion and powered by the TV--perfect. With my 60 inch Panasonic I bought the 3m (118") Luminoodle for best coverage, plugged it in and promptly overloaded the USB port. Evidently the Panny ports are 500mA, but this isn't stated in my manual (found it online). Luckily, no damage to TV, but I had to trim off a number of LEDs from the end of the strip to reduce the current draw to fall into the port's output. This is covered in the instructions, is simple, but time consuming---cut off 2", turn on TV, blow the USB port breaker, turn off the TV, cut off 2" more.....repeat 9 times.

Anyway, I ended up cutting a total of 20" off the 3m Luminoodle ( 10 LEDs ), mounted it to the back of the TV and it works wonderfully. There are 44 LEDs left on my strip to make it work with a 500mA USB port. With the 12" non-lit cord, the 118" (3m) has 54 LEDs, the 78" would have 33 LEDs.

My advice---if your TV is 55" or less with a 500mA USB port, buy the 78" Luminoodle, save $5 and a half hour of hassle---60" and up, get the 118" and cut off what you need. YMMV.

Finally, this product is totally worthwhile, just realize that there may be some extra effort in getting it set up. If it works right out of the package, it's a 5 minute install!

Hopes this helps,

Great light for watching TV in darker rooms.  It is easy to use and add a good viewing experience with numerous colors to choose from.  Easy to set-up.

Easy to install , stick the tape around the back and plug the usb in your tv USB port .
Gives a nice glow when watching tv , hardly any need to turn another light in the room.
As you turn the tv off the power to the USB port is cutoff thus turning the strip off at the same time as the tv, almost feels likes factory option .
