Product Information

Meaning they can be cut in certain areas and will continue to work. However, they are also the type of lights that cannot be multiple colors at once. 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 Though bright, it is not as radiant as an RGBIC strip, which is not as potent and can light up a room way better. RGBIC 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.

These light strips come in a 9.8-foot length and put out more than enough brightness for mood lighting while being right on the edge for functional lighting. That means you’ll probably still have to rely on your traditional lighting in some situations, but you might be surprised at how little you reach for the light switch. However, you won’t be able to leave it overnight for a nightlight, for example, as it will be way to bright. Cons 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. Aside from the great value, the best thing about Govee Smart Wi-Fi RGBWW LED Strip Lights is the flexibility you get with RGBWW LEDs. Strips with this configuration include alternating RGB, white, and warm-white LEDs. So if you’re looking for some colorful mood lighting, the RGB LEDs do the heavy lifting, but if you want more natural, warm light, the white LEDs switch on. Keep in mind that both have their pros and cons, but that should not spot you from purchasing either. Especially because they are inexpensive.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.

This article was written by Jeremy Laukkonen, a freelance writer and product tester for The Spruce. He’s had firsthand installing and using LED strip lights in his own home and has over a decade of experience reviewing electronics for outlets like Lifewire and Digital Trends, in addition to The Spruce. 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. 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.

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.

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 The 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. To cut Govee Lights, you will need to make sure you have the right type of LED Strip. RGB LED Strips can be cut. This is because they do not contain an IC chip.

You cannot achieve some things with an RGBIC strip that can be done with an RGB one. And vice versa. 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. Both the RGB and RCBIV LED strips from Govee Smart Lights are exceptional and affordable products. However, they differ significantly, and both present their strengths. 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 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.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.” 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. The appearance of LED lighting has evolved in the past few years. What was once only available in niche specialty stores is now an affordable and easy-to-install addition to any home or office. Over the past decade, high demand for LED lights has resulted in an abundance of manufacturers producing a wide variety of LEDs to meet consumer demand. 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. Pros
