LED self adhesive Rgb colour change tape lights

[Dustydazzler]

My eldest wants some Led tape with a remote to put around her window and around her shelves. She showed me a pack on Amazon for about 15 quid that comes with a remote control/

Is this stuff any good ? (as it seems too cheap)

My brother lowered the centre portion of his ceiling recently and wanted a 15m RGB tape in the recess.
Price for a full custom kit was somewhere around £1500. The price for the drivers and the controllers has rocketed recently.

He ended up with 3 x 5m white sets instead.

When I priced components for my daughter's room, it was going to end up costing close to £500 to do what she wanted. Under £50 on bits from Amazon seemed like a no-brainer - especially as she was likely to grow tired of coloured lighting and want it all taken down at some stage.

Depending on age I wouldn't bet on it.
Did my nieces room a few years back and she still loves it.

Hers would've been comparable to my brothers and it was only about £200 including the controller etc.

Yeah, I still see various colours glowing under the door. The comparison I made was between this cheap & cheerful kit and quality materials that provided the same level of control. Chances are there would have been more cost effective options, but that's what I'd priced up and the cheap option seemed like a no brainer. If it all fails and she still wants to have it, then the profiles are in place and it's a matter of new tape, driver, controls and a switch line. It's not like I lost out on the cost of the kit after three years and counting. You know how it is with kids - some things stick and others are ----ed aside after a few days. This fad had more legs than I expected.

Edit: It would appear as though 't o s s' falls foul of the word filter.

First time I fitted one was in a kitchen. When I went back about a year later to do outside lights, they were all still playing around with it, including the dad.
