Customers are saying

Many reviewers rave about the ease of installation, with some even using the USB port on the back of their TV to power the lights. However, some users have expressed concerns about the quality of the adhesive and the occasional unreliability of the remote control.

    The led light strip is great, however the remote is junk. Have to press the buttons multiple times and the light dimmer controls do not work at all. I would return it but I already stuck it to the back of my tv. Used the 16ft on back of 82” TV. Should have tested before install

    I’ve purchased LED strip lights from various manufacturers. These are very bright but can be dimmed to various levels. They pull very little energy and make very little heat. You can use them in a wide variety of lighting situations. Since they run off a USB port, you could hook them directly to your TV for backlighting, or put them in your computer case. They could light a curio cabinet (you can cut the length), or you could use them over or under your cabinets for an interesting effect. When dim, they make a colorful nightlight. There are all kinds of options for their use. You do have to supply your own USB power source. I wish they had a setting where they would automatically blend from color to color, but they don’t. They could be part of your Halloween or Christmas lighting.

    Worth it!

    Absolutely worth the $60 bucks. I added it behind my 65” tv thats mounted on the wall and it looks so cool. I hid the wires with the rest of the tv cables in a cable concealer from best buy. It adds a theater vibe that I never knew I needed. Easy install. I just peeled off the adhesive cover and framed out the back of my tv. On the corners I just pinched it and stuck it the new direction. I recommend bringing the lights closer in on the right and left side so you cant see them sticking out. I also used a few extra 3m hooks/tape to conceal part of the cables. Now I want more for another spot in my home.

    I like the longer length to have more future flexibility, plus they can always be trimmed down. Dry solid wire quality, adjustable brightness with top level very bright. Lots of color options with remote (included). Good value compared to other styles I’ve purchased online and at other retailers.

    Brighten Up Your Space: Best Buy essentials 16' LE

    I was on the hunt for something to add a bit of flair to my room and stumbled upon the Best Buy essentials 16' LED Lightstrip. What a find! It’s completely transformed the vibe of my space, and I couldn't be happier. First off, the length is just perfect. At 16 feet, it’s long enough to run around my entire room, providing a consistent and vibrant glow throughout. The installation was a breeze too, with an adhesive back that stuck right onto the walls without any hassle.

    My daughter uses these lights in her room more than the overhead light. This strip of lights from Best Buy is better built than the smaller strips we bought from another location. Vibrant colors, easy to hang, and plenty of cord for plugging in. I wish they weren't so expensive - even on sale at half off, that's a whole lot of money for not a whole lot of lighting.

    Using these on two TVs 43" and 55" and they really brighten up the ambient view. It can only cover the top area of the 55" and partially on the side so if you want more than that get a longer strip. It's easy to change the colors and brightness. As long as they're plugged into the TV, your settings are the same every time you turn on the TV.

    Very easy to install. Works perfect for a 40-in TV if you have larger TVs, definitely recommend to get the 16 ft. Nice! Different color options and wide range of dimming. Very cool effect to the back of the TV. I also bought the 16 ft version that offers a few more lighting effects and that fit perfectly behind a 70-in TV. So keep that in mind if you're using these LEDs for a TV.

    I was going to purchase the more expensive HUE lights. These were a good alternative. I just wanted something simple to add to my home office. It doesnt offer the all of the cor choices, but it does the trick. Easy installation. Simple remote. I didnt want to add another app to my phone.

    LEDS work great and can get very bright if needed. If you leave it on for long it does tend to get hot so be sure to turn it off a couple of times. Overall colors are vibrant and distinct. The remote could be better however but works well enough. Overall pretty solid product.

    For how cheap I got these I really like them. It does add to the movie watching experience, it took me forever to actually install it because I was being lazy, but now that I have it has me interested in getting one of those setups with the camera that automatically adjusts the colors per the picture on the screen. But those are way more expensive, and I am happy using this in the meantime. Side note: my little ones love playing with it, especially the rainbow settings.

    Simple, but does exactly what it should do. We used to have more advanced ones, but we found it to be very easy to install with the build in glow strip, and once installed, easy to operate. Has some nice background lights.
