Product Information

You can hardwire LED light strips to a light switch, but it usually isn’t necessary. Most LED light strips run on 12 or 24 volts and use a power adapter that you plug into your wall outlet. “I suggest finding something either 12V or 24V, which is considered extra-low voltage,” says Belanger. When selecting a brightness, brighter is typically better. There’s clearly no reason to buy a 500+ lumens per foot strip just for mood lighting, but what if you change your mind and want something brighter in the future? If you end up with a light strip that’s too bright, you can always install a dimmer, and some even have a dim function built right in. All thanks to the IC or Independent Control chip that gives you the power to display multiple colors in one light strip at the same time. And you can gain control of each segment’s color. To wire that kind of LED light strip to a light switch, you need to obtain a separate transformer and wire the transformer to the light switch. In that case, you’re usually better off consulting with a professional electrician,“ says Walter. “That way you'll ensure the job is done right.” To evaluate and choose the best LED light strips, Laukkonen looked at factors like LED density, lumens, strip length, ease of modification, controls, and connectivity. Other factors, like IP67 certification, were given heavy consideration for specific categories, like the best outdoor LED light strips and the best LED strip lights for your car.

Though bright, it is not as radiant as an RGBIC strip, which is not as potent and can light up a room way better. RGBICBoth the RGB and RCBIV LED strips from Govee Smart Lights are exceptional and affordable products. However, they differ significantly, and both present their strengths. RGBIC (RGB + a built-in Independent Chip) strip light is a higher level of the RGB strip light. It has the same color options, over 16 million colors, like RGB and RGBW strip light. RGBIC LED strip lights' built-in independent chip could display a rainbow-like lighting effect. Animated Effects With 50 Color Zones】With 50 customizable color zones, you can set the color combinations you want for any scenario for a fully customized LED light experience for the bedroom, home office, and more. Choose from dozens of preset animated effects to change the tone of your space. Whether it be a relaxing “Raindrop” effect or an uplifting "Rainbow" effect, you can light your space with a touch of a button. These strips use super bright 5050 LEDs, come with a power adapter, and include a remote that lets you set a specific color or access a handful of programs like flashing or gradually changing colors. You can’t control the strips with a phone app or your smart home speaker, and TJOY doesn’t provide some key information, like exactly how bright the strips are, but you have to expect some cut corners to get a value this good. Summary: RGBIC LED strip light is a utility home improvement. It can display various colors simultaneously. However, it cannot be cut like regular RGB strip lights. And RGBIC strip light is more expensive than RGB and RGBW strip light.

The RGBIC is a new technology to display the colors and can make a room pop! One strip can be multiple colors and blend together. ProsThe Philips Hue Bluetooth Gradient Lightstrip is expensive, but it’s well worth the splurge if you have room in your budget and don’t want to deal with any hassles. These strips are easy to install, and they have plug-and-play electrical connectors that allow you to attach additional strips. You can technically cut and splice just like any other LED strip, but there’s no need. The base kit starts at 6 feet, and then you can add additional strips in 3-foot increments. On the other hand, the RGBIC Strips can’t be cut simply because they have an IC chip, and the lights will not work if you cut it. However, you won’t be able to leave it overnight for a nightlight, for example, as it will be way to bright. Cons Though the different colors in the RGBIC strip can be fun, it also means it cannot be cut. Therefore, it can be harder to install in walls in which you cannot utilize a clipping connector. The bottom line

It is cuttable because it does not contain an IC chip, but it also means that the strip can only stay in one color at a time. Other LED strips can range in color and have an Ombre effect. I have personally reviewed a Govee Smart Light RGB LED Strip and have loved it. Though you cannot have access to some features included with the RGBIC. Pros There are many ways to operate an LED light strip after installation, so it’s good to give that some thought ahead of time. The most common options include strips with a physical switch, strips that operate via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, motion-controlled strips, and physically wiring your LED light strips to a wall switch or dimmer. TJOY LED Strip Lights provide the best value if you’re working on a tight budget. When you look at the cost per foot for these strip lights, many of our top recommendations are as much as 10 times more expensive. The stripped-down TJOY lights are a little light on features, such as app control, but you can’t beat the value.It was a great add-on to my room as I placed it under my bed. And for young kids, this can totally be a fun nightlight to have! Cons Available in 16 different colors and 16 zones, the Kasa Smart Premium LED Light Strip KL430 is an easy way to add smart lighting to your home. With voice control and built-in scheduling, you can easily control your lights with a simple voice command or schedule them to turn on at preset times, while group-and-schedule mode allows you to group all of your lights together for easier management. Read Review Sensky’s Motion Activated LED Strip Lights are perfect for closets and other applications where you don’t have easy access to a power outlet. You can pull off and charge the rechargeable battery unit that supplies power to these light strips whenever it runs down. The battery unit has a switch you can use to turn the lights on manually or set it to auto, and the light will turn on whenever it detects motion.
