    JUNK - Adhesive does not work

    A piece of JUNK - the adhesive is worthless - will not stick for even 30 seconds. I returned to the store and the only one they had in stock did not have adhesive that would work either. Thankfully, we checked it out before I took it home!

    This light strip was very faulty. I constantly have to reset the light strip because it never shows as available and on the c by ge app. For the price you could honestly find more cost effective options.

      Hi Christian, sorry to hear of any connectivity issues you experienced with your devices and our app. What often helps if your light strip does not connect is to force quit the app in the android settings or using the iOS app switcher and relaunch the app. If this issue persists please reach out to us directly at 1-844-302-2943. -Cync Support Team

    wonderful - what I needed to light up an area

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was invested already in the CbyGE ecosystem (plug and light bulbs) so it was a no-brainer to check out the light strip with some hesitation though, but I was pleasantly surprised, easy install, very fast setup (I help it along by disabling wifi on my phone first) and everything else went like clock work. My set up unfortunately required half of the strip, so I feel bad for the waste of strip but otherwise, super bright - adhesive worked well under my kitchen cabinet. Love the dimming and complete customization through the app!!!

    My 7 year old son wants to use in his room on his ceiling I see it has a warning on the box to use 20cm from body. can you explain this warning ? Are these lights dangerous or toxic to use in children’s rooms ? Do they have radiation that is toxic to children ? Thank you

    Real bad disconnect from app to lights

    These lights cant decide what they want to do. I had to reset the lights 5 times before the app would connect properly, you cannot switch from color to color properly, the app is garbage and im 99% sure I'm returning these tomorrow.
