Customers express satisfaction with the Lightstrip 2M 1600lm Starter Kit's brightness, affordability, and ease of use, citing simple installation and convenient phone control. However, some users experienced challenges connecting the lights to their Wi-Fi network and wished for a longer strip length. The product's vibrant colors and overall performance were frequently praised. Despite some minor connectivity issues, the positive feedback on brightness, price, and ease of use outweighs the negative comments.

Great lights. However, if you’re connecting an extension set, sometimes the male to female does not match up in the right direction and the extension will be backwards, if that makes sense. It is easy to control with your phone but I would prefer if it had a remote as well. I like the quality and color of the lighting and it is the only thing that sets it apart from the cheaper 14.99 led strips that come with a remote that you can buy from Amazon.

I purchased these to install as under cabinet lights and love how they look. They produce a nice bright light, with the ability to change colors using the Wiz app.
I have a few other Wiz products and I like how they connect directly to wifi. Setup was easy and the app works well.
Installation of these lights for undercabinet lights can be tricky. I used the outlet for my microwave then went under the cabinets. If you want to use these as undercabinet lights you'll need some accessories from a 3rd party (I'd recommend litecessory). Expect to be cutting the light strip, stripping the top rubbery layer and connecting it to an adapter (or you could solder the connections). You'll also want to have various tools for the install. The lightstrip bends very easily on itself (in a coil) but does not like to bend side to side.

I bought 3 of these strips. 2 work good but the other hardly ever finds and grabs the wifi signal. I also bought a few light bulbs and table lamp by wiz which also had a difficult time syncing up to my wifi. I returned most of my wiz products but not these strips because i cut them. If this is a common problem I would definitely avoid these

Good quality light strip. Price point is better than HUE. Easy to set up and use. Integrates easily with Google Home and Hubitat (with a custom driver) I have 4 of these and noticed that the transformer has a slight hum to it even when the lights are not on.
I also purchased the extension kits and rather than cutting the 2M strip I used the extension in a couple of places keeping the 2M strip for use where I will need multiple longer strips.

This is a good hue alternative, I wish it was dimmer on its lowest setting but for the price and easy set up and operation im happy with it. We have hue throughout the house but wanted a cheap option for light strip in one area that wouldn’t break the bank and was hall to find this one.

I love these. I had never heard of WiZ but the reviews I found showed they made a decent smart light so I thought I'd try. They were half the price of LifX which I'm a fan of. As far as a lighting strip goes these are on part with them.

These things are bright! I've been trying to find an LED strip for a shelf with some collectibles on it. These are perfect. Smart features are great.

A bit difficult to connect to wifi. Your phone must be on the same band (2.4 or 5 ghz) to be found. It is like their wifi tech is 10 years old.

The product itself is great! I really love the Wiz product line. This is perfect for what I had in mind but unfortunately it was kind of tricky to track down and buy the attachment needed to make a 90 degree turn. I wish Best Buy sold them or if they came with the product.

I'm being picky about the quality here. But otherwise ok probably. Twisty wires are not the way to build this product. Also, would be nice to see it without a switch, or a switch that does more than turn off and on.

Product would not stick where placed underneath a wood cabinet. Did not go around corners well. Not good unless placed in a straight line.
