I gotta admit this brand is awesome. I had the vibe led light bulb for 6 months or so and it still works perfectly. Yesterday, I got this led light strip and it’s amazing!
Soldering is really the only way that I know of to connect these, though you can buy longer strips online for around the same price per meter or better.
I bought these for my kids bunk beds. I Love them works great for the money. I lost the remote. I took it and hid it from the kids so they wouldnt lose it. And j forgot where I hid it. I may have to buy another set, the remote works for all of them.
@@sicksider1449it works great. The only bad thing is that it wont rotate through all the colors at the same speed when I have more than one strip going. For the price tho, it's super cool.
@@sicksider1449 yes, they are in my son's room, one set is plugged in the wall, the other set is plugged into his monitor and I laid them behind the monitor. He loved them. Hes only five and I didnt want to spend alot. Oh and I finally found the remote I hid.
Ive had this thing for like 3 months, note the adhesive SUCKS on this thing, so I got some masking tape and slapped it on the non-light areas behind my table it it works like a dream. The lights are fairly bright also. i'd rate it a 9/10
I got one that am using for back light behind my TV. I'm pleased so far, but every time I turn the TV the lights default to the Flash setting; any way the default can be changed to whatever your favorite setting/color is? Thank you!
Same problem. Bought one set a couple years ago that did not have this issue. Wish it would not revert back to flashing once it is turned off then back on again.
they really need to add this to the manual they must get alot of returns for this just because they dont include the right way to plug it in the manual
thank you so much for the information bro I am a cheap gamer and I always try to find thing on the cheap I just got the LED lights as well for the first time and it make my room look very good for a few dollars. Keep up with your content bro
Quick question on how bright these are: I have a very boring chandelier above my dining room table, and I'm thinking about attaching these strips to it for mood lighting while I'm GMing Patherfinder games. Do you think these would be bright enough for a small dining area? The idea would be to point them towards the ceiling, or possibly out towards the walls (above the players' heads), depending how obnoxious the tiny bulbs are.
I don't think this stand will have the brightness you're looking for. Some Five Below locations carry an LED light bulb that changes color and comes with a remote. The bulb might be brighter, though I haven't tried it.
An issue I am having is most of colors are not working. For example, my blue color does not work and one of my dark blue colors controls red. Is there a way to program or fix this? In the meantime my rating is 0/5
Thank you for your thoroughness! I was having trouble getting it working and couldn't figure out why and you helped me out so much! Thank you and take care! Also I subbed :p
My led strips work but every time I take out the USB and plug it back I'm the led strips keep changing colors and I don't want that I only want one color any of u guys know how to make a single color stay
Hi, the remote isn’t working? Everything else is fine the strips are plugged in and working but I’m pressing buttons on the remote but nothing we took out the battery and put it back in. Someone help.
Mine won’t turn on. I have it set the right way, and plugged in and everything. I cant get them to turn on. Is it the remote or am I doing something wrong?
FINESSEGOD23179 honestly I’m trying to put mine up right now and they’re pretty short ,so depending on the size of your room and where your putting them probably a couple boxes
I just got this and within 5 minutes the remote was unresponsive and the lights stayed a yellowish color (you can see both the and green light individually it combined it’s giving off a yellow color) I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in but nothing’s working and I’m not sure if 5 Below has a return policy and if I’m allowed to bring it in and replace it
Someone help I got youse led lights that go on the back of your monitor/tv an I plugged it in and everything and it start flashing different colors but when I use the remote it won’t change colors
help. when you get the remote it comes with a battery but that little thing you pull out is jammed for me. when i got the remote out of package the slot opened and the battery fell out and i can’t put it back in no matter how hard i try to open it.
Same! When i press on blue it turns off and if i press purple it red and if i press fade or any of the when it gets to blue or those colors it turns off
Mine doesn’t remember the setting it was on before I turn it off. If I set the color to solid blue and then turn off the tv it’s connected to and then turn the tv back on it starts flashing RGB instead of being solid blue. Is there a way to fix this?
If you got one with poor adhesive you could either exchange it at Five Below (if that's where you bought it) since it's faulty, or buy a roll of double sided tape. Good luck. 👍
bro i got some from five below and mine didn’t come with a remote they were just one color. they were also shorter than that 😤😤 i couldn’t put them anywhere
Thank you for this I know this video is old but my mom bought one and couldn’t get it to work so I tried and it didn’t work , so I watched this video and come to find out my mom had the usb part turned the wrong way and so I filled it and now it works 😂😅 thanks
It's self adhesive, which means there's a strip of tape attached to the back. Just remove the protective paper and then stick it to whatever you want. Just make sure you have a long enough USB cord to reach where you want to put it.
Bro I got mine at 5 and below and I bought it and plugged it in and it didn't turn on and then I tried messing with the remote it didn't even turn on it honestly I broke it trying to plug in the tiny rods
I would think so. Depending on the model of TV a USB port is used either for accessing media for external devices or just for maintenance (driver updates, etc.), but out should still output the 5v this LED strip needs.
Cly Faker I purchase the LED strip from five and below and would like to know why does my TV have to be on in order for the strip to work? As long as its plugged up is that not enough power????
If you're talking about the battery power supply I had the light hooked up to, it's just a USB power bank. Five Below carries them as well, just not the model I used in the video.
I gotta admit this brand is awesome. I had the vibe led light bulb for 6 months or so and it still works perfectly. Yesterday, I got this led light strip and it’s amazing!
Btw I subbed! ☺️
Glad to hear the bulb is working out for you. I keep thinking about buying one, but then I talk myself out of it. 😋
@@ClyFaker hey dude you should definitely do it! It's awesome! I did it to every light in my room, and at night it's like a flipping Disco!
richard zhagnay good video, but next time please show the device in action behind the monitor
richard zhagnay sane here
Bought 2 a week ago, 2 problems and thats it
1: really short
2: adhesive sucks
Other than that its great
Same
Yeah. Alternative to the first issue would be to buy like 50 but like nobody has that many outlets and extensions for outlets
I use tape on the ends of the strips and it's working well :)
@@szasvaseline5058 I tried that 😂 it didn't really work because the surface the LEDs are on is really rough, so I just stuck a piece of clay there 😂
Yeah
Just bought one of these today and couldn't get it to work until i found your video. Thank you!
Glad I could help. 👍
Same lol
U figure out how to connect a additional strip without the soldering?
Soldering is really the only way that I know of to connect these, though you can buy longer strips online for around the same price per meter or better.
Cly Faker thanks
if you don't have a soldering iron then you could go online and buy connectors for led strips
But how do u connect it with another strip 🤧🤧😭
Idk😭
Get a two prong. Usb adapter and daisy. Chain. The lights
I bought these for my kids bunk beds. I Love them works great for the money. I lost the remote. I took it and hid it from the kids so they wouldnt lose it. And j forgot where I hid it. I may have to buy another set, the remote works for all of them.
I bought two more strips, they work great!!!
Did it ever break or stop working

Thank you this helped me i was struggling to put it on the right way
Glad I could help. I still can't believe they never mentioned that in the manual. One line would save people a lot of trouble.
Honestly
I thoght battery was messed up but realized u have to point it at the usb thingy
what usb thingy

love how mine don’t work
Well dang. I wasn't planning on playing around with Led strips but at that price...
I completely agree. I was already a bit excited when I saw them on the shelf, but then I saw that they were USB powered and it was a done deal.
The 5$ ones are short
um, mine isn’t working, and uhh, I don’t know what to do- I got mine from 5 And Below
same , I got mine today . I’m returning mine tomorrow
same there not even turning on
@@kamarijones2411 right same for me
Thank god my mom was getting ready to return it when I ran and showed her how to do it so now I have lights on my tv :3
How does it reach al the way to your plug
OMG I literally just did the same thing
Do they still work a year later??
Sydney Buettner they work verywell i dont knos how long they last though but if you keep them in the same place they last longer
they really need to add this to the manual they must get alot of returns for this just because they dont include the right way to plug it in the manual

Thank you for the professional review on this product.I think I'll buy a set or 2 today! Again,great review!
I have a shelf/tv stand with 9 holes. My Xbox is in one of the holes so I wanna spice it up. Gonna get one of these and see how it looks.
I have mine plugged in the right way but when I connect it to a power source it just blinks one time and stays off. Idk what’s wrong with it
HOW DOES IT WORK FOR YOU MINE WHEN I TURN IT ON IT WAS FLASHING RED BLUE GREEN AND WHEN I TURN IT OFF OR PRESS THE OTHER BUTTON IT DOESNT WORK
aisyah zubir SAMEEEE
Aisyah zubir same
The 5 below ones work really good the only problem is you have to get close for the remote to work, however its worth it
Love ur videos about five below products as I go there a lot. Be safe in the hurricane if you're in one of those states. ;)
Thanks. 😁
As for the hurricane, I'm in a landlocked state so I'm safe. 👍
My remote stopped working 2 days after I bought it do you have any solutions for it?
Tysm😭 I needed this because I wanted to be cheap and I thought they was broken but I guess not!
Okay so mine didn't work and that's because the piece that plugged in was loose. I had to hold it against the letters a certain way for it to work
Hi, the remote isn’t working? Everything else is fine the strips are plugged in and working but I’m pressing buttons on the remote but nothing we took out the battery and put it back in. Someone help.
Late but FYI the G stands for green, R for Red and B for Blue.
Have you done a review on the Halloween LED Wire Kit. I can't figure out how to turn them on
For anyone wondering they are bright but short, a little over 3 ft
Over all do you recommend this product?
Mine won’t turn on. I have it set the right way, and plugged in and everything. I cant get them to turn on. Is it the remote or am I doing something wrong?
Okay so you charge it first? Or how do you set it up I’m confused...
It's not rechargeable. You have to have it plugged into a powered USB port at all times.
Or get a usb battery. Pack powers for weeks
Lmao it actually worked
Mine won't work :( I plugged it in right and I keep pressing the power button on my remote and it does not turn on :(
How many boxes of these would I need to go around my entire room?
FINESSEGOD23179 How big is your room ?
FINESSEGOD23179 honestly I’m trying to put mine up right now and they’re pretty short ,so depending on the size of your room and where your putting them probably a couple boxes
Savannah Gray Did you get connectors??
Naisya Antoine if you’re talking about connectors to put the light strips together as 1 long strip ,I didn’t
Savannah Gray did you buy multiple boxes?
Can the USB be plugged into the wall with a phone charger head?
Yes
its cool but i found one at walmart and its even cheaper and u just plug it into your computer
at first mine were working but now the white little rectangles are just blinking red and i dont know whyyyy help
I cut mines expecting both parts to work separately, but it don’t 😩🤷🏾♀️

Someone help I got youse led lights that go on the back of your monitor/tv an I plugged it in and everything and it start flashing different colors but when I use the remote it won’t change colors
I have those and pls reply if you know who to connect it to another led light
Can you combine 2 different strips and still be able to use 1 USB?!
I think so you can use an led strip connector to connect another strip
I needed this sooooo badly bc I was about to return them and at my 5 below they costed $10 and I way upset but know they are working
OMG U ARE A LIFE SAVER MY STUFF WANST WORKING then I put the pluses together and I will💪🏽tied I had it plugged in wrong the whole time thank you
Does it have to be charged? Or only connected to a power source consistently?
It needs to be plugged in at all times.
help. when you get the remote it comes with a battery but that little thing you pull out is jammed for me. when i got the remote out of package the slot opened and the battery fell out and i can’t put it back in no matter how hard i try to open it.
When mine turn on it defaults to strobe. Is that fixable?
I got one today and i put it on my turtles tank and it looks cool

So... I need to have it plugged in? That’s a rip. I wanna put mine behind my monitor but I don’t have room to have another cord up there :(
Yeah, it needs to be plugged on at all times.
If you're monitor has a USB port, try to plug it in.
Mine doesn’t remember the setting it was on before I turn it off. If I set the color to solid blue and then turn off the tv it’s connected to and then turn the tv back on it starts flashing RGB instead of being solid blue. Is there a way to fix this?
If you figure this out, please post. I was looking for same answer.
Sammy I bought a 4 pin controller for LED lights on eBay for $2 and that fixed the issue
Are these 10mm or 8mm?
Can anyone help me? I’m trying to install it but when I take off the adhesive it’s not sticky what do ever
If you got one with poor adhesive you could either exchange it at Five Below (if that's where you bought it) since it's faulty, or buy a roll of double sided tape. Good luck. 👍
It might be attached to the paper on the bottom.
I would use this for moding my xbox 1 and PlayStation
That would definitely add a nice touch.
Cly Faker thats why I bought them
Can they be made longer
Yes
Thanks for the tip!
what to do if you don't have the one 3v CR2025 Button Cell
The lights for mine didn't turn on though can you please reply because I'm getting a little stressed out by this
You probably just have the c adapter plugged in wrong-way just flip it around mine turned right on when I did that
how do you cut it? it says cut in the white line but if you need to connect it to the usb for it to work it doesn’t make sense to cut it ..
After cutting you need to either solder on a new power supply to the copper tabs, or solder on extension wires between the two cut strips.
where can u find the batteries that go in the remote and how tf do u put them in there
Do you have to use the power bank? Can you do the chord thing in the wall please
It is usb powered so you Can plug it in the wall using a normal 5v usb wall charger
How do I take off the orange plastic piece to make it stick? The

Do i have to keep it plugged up?
Yes. These lights don't have an internal battery.
Can u use it while it’s unplugged?
Nope.
I can’t get mine to even turn on what do I do?

Do you have to keep it on the charger?
Yes. It is not rechargeable.
What do the buttons at the top control? Why skip over that explanation?
Doesn't white have all of the colors, so doesn't it have way more than. 16 colors
Can the USB be connected to TV
I would think so. Depending on the model of TV a USB port is used either for accessing media for external devices or just for maintenance (driver updates, etc.), but out should still output the 5v this LED strip needs.

I purchase the LED strip from five and below and would like to know why does my TV have to be on in order for the strip to work? As long as its plugged up is that not enough power????
Some devices don't output power over USB when powered off. My laptop is the same way.

Anyone know what that usb power supply hub is called? I cant find it
If you're talking about the battery power supply I had the light hooked up to, it's just a USB power bank. Five Below carries them as well, just not the model I used in the video.
Anyone elses lights keep defaulting back to blue? I select a color and after about 2-5mins it defaults to blue.
