Daybetter WiFi Enabled RGB LED Strips

promo.jpg

Daybetter has kindly sent us a pack of 2x 25ft WiFi enabled RGB strips, which come packed with the power supply, control box, and are backed by 3M sticky tape so you can quickly apply them to many surfaces-- let's take a quick look!

The two rolls of 25 foot strips come neatly packaged with the aforementioned power supply and control box, along with the IR remote that can be used to locally control the colors and light sequencing. The strips have exposed solder/connection points so you can cut the strips and use (not supplied) 90 degree angle connectors or other junction boxes to perfectly frame your furniture and surroundings. Despite the promo images, the LEDs are a single/shared address so you cannot create colored segments, but by using just the remote you can create a cool color-fade effect to cycle through the rainbow.

The 3M sticky backs have a hard time holding up the strip if you use long stretches of it at a time directly on painted drywall. You'll notice most of the low reviews are because the lights fall after a few hours due to their failure to adhere to the customer's wall. I cut a 3M Command Strip in half long-ways and this perfectly reinforced the strips so they stay in place and don't fall down.

The companion app (IOS and Android) allows you to sync the control box over 2.4GHz WiFi and then pair that to your Amazon Alexa or Google Home account so the lights can be controlled via voice commands. The app adds more ambient scenarios by allowing you to sync the lights to music, more precise color control, or even adjust the lighting based on the time of day or current weather-- great for NEETs who use blackout curtains and don't know what's going on outside.

I used the strips to highlight my small bottle collection and provide an ambient backlight to one of my televisions and I think they look great. I wish the cable from the control box was a bit longer so I could have more leeway before the LEDs start, but they are so inexpensive I didn't really have any qualms about physically disabling the LEDs I did not want to light up to give me the perfect framing for my furniture.

As far as single address LED strips go, 50 feet of WiFi enabled lights for about $15 USD is a no-brainer for a beginner setup or as an experimental mood lighting project that minimizes losses if you damage the strip during install or just want to toy around with different lighting setups before diving into more expensive multi-address LED systems.

Do they have presence in Euroland?
Nice little product that I can see myself use.

Edit:
Heh... No deal, as they are "currently unavailable."

Whenever I see RGB Products, I just wanna strip every lightbulb out from my house, and line the whole thing with strips instead.

Ive bought multiple pairs of these and the app can never find the leds. I really wouldn’t recommend these to anyone

this site is really starting to turn into shovel ware for reviews. It’s clear you guys are just spitting these out lately just because you all need/want something and can get it by just spitting out a quick “review”

there is nothing wrong with that of course, anyone would do the same if they could, but it’s a bit scummy when it’s a shit tier product with clearly inflated reviews on sites like Amazon and a generic white label “WiFi” app

I mean, it's clear there's stuff that we're going after but I see no issue so long as we're giving the product our actual true opinion. Which we always do. Plus, it's pretty easy to point and say low effort, when you weren't the one writing and testing out the product. It's a set of RGB strips; that doesn't require an essay's worth of words. It covers everything you need to know about them--theyre cheap, there's some cut corners, but they do the job pretty okay. Did we need an electrician's dissertation on them? And its fun to show off random crap to the readers to be like "lol look at this thing that exists".

The link works if your shipping address is in the US. Maybe there's a different one for EU?
Possibly. Maybe instead of saying that it can't be shipped, they figured that for Euro people unavailability was best.
I shall wait. My living room kinda needs it.

The app won't find the boxes unless you are using your 2.4ghz band, so you have to manually swap to it since you are probably on 5ghz. Once it's set up you can swap back and just use the app or Google to control them... I haven't had any issues after that.

nice review but... is that a jar of eyeballs?!

also: I was promised that these would be tested to make an RGB toilet :angry:

+1 for the RGB toilet

WE DEMAND THE RGB GAMER TOILET

I mean... We have our RGB keyboards, mice, headphones, speakers, microphones... And a lot of people do game on the toilet - so an RGB gaming toilet would make a lot of sense ;)

Ugh... review updated... :rolleyes:

P.S. we don't mention the jar unless you want yours in it too :gun:

I'd like to install some on the back of my 65" there's so many of these led lights out there with different brands that are the same shit. But guess that's china in a nutshell.
