"Does the job; one colour at a time"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Overall, i'm impressed with the quality of these LEDs. They're bright, colourful, super easy to install and operate (Only requiring a 4-pin Molex and room for the controller and IR sensor). Unfortunately it only offers 16 colours (15 and white), but if you're someone who changes between static colours often this will do the job. You may be better off going for one of the more expensive LED kits if you're going for either a wave/rainbow or smooth colour cycling effect as this kit only offers “strobe” or “fade between black” colour cycling effects with the 16 colours on offer.

The few things holding this back from being a 5/5 for me is a fairly subpar IR controller and sensor. The sensor seems fairly weak; only operating if the remote is pointed directly at it from a range of <1ft if there's anything between the sensor and remote (ie; the side panel of your case). The remote itself is a cheap, mass produced IR LED remote which I've seen a multitude of times before with other IR LED kits – they're not particularly robust, they suffer heavily from interference, and they're all on the same frequency. However, both of these things are only minor details and won't affect the kit's usage.

Overall, if you're someone who likes to change up their colours from time to time this kit will work perfectly for you. If you're going for a rainbow effect or like smooth fades you'd best put your money into a more expensive kit.

I am very glad these lights have a brightness control because they are super bright. The light strips are good quality and they can make your PC look awesome!

Not working at all

"Very Bright"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

They are great value and amazingly bright (one of the two strips is more than enough to light my case) but the remote seems a bit cheap. The cables are long enough to reach across even the biggest cases although the “power brick” is rather large.

"It's all good"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The only thing I dislike is not being able to have 1 colour set to breathing mode… I would have given it a 5/5 but for not having such simple functionality I simply can't :/ Still looks amazing in the case though and magnetic strips make it super easy for install.

"Sweet Room Lighting."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Works well as remote room lighting (on dressers, mirrors or shelves) if you put a 12V power pack on them. Can light a room, even on half brightness. Only minor dislikes (such as there not being much difference between modes and you can't set them to a single colour pulse/fade/strobe mode). Remote works well and has decent range (works from a few metres away with only small obstructions/throu­gh the corner of things) and you can reposition the sensor. Magnets have decent strength too. Probably not worth the cost when not on sale though ($20 on sale). Would also be a bonus and more worth the non-sale price if it came with its own 12V power pack.

"Works great but a few minor problems."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

They work very well the magnets are strong and the colours look nice and bright. The only issues are is that having one shorter than the other is annoying as it has a little box and you will want to put it in that space for power supply cables unless your case can fit it but then again the sensor won't be in a good position and also the molex connectors aren't the best quality and it's quite a struggle trying to connect them up. Other than those issues they work great.
