LED Strip Lights: Reviews, Comparisons & Buying Guide

An LED strip is the fastest way to change how a room feels, and the cheapest lighting upgrade that actually shows. The strip itself is simple: a flexible tape of LEDs with adhesive on the back, a power adapter, and a controller that sets the colour and brightness. What differs is everything around it: whether each section can show a different colour at once, whether the white light is good enough to read by, how long a single run can be, and whether the strip answers to a voice assistant or only to a remote control. A plain RGB strip that shows one colour at a time is a different product from an RGBIC strip that paints a gradient along the wall, and a strip with no white diodes is a poor choice for a kitchen.
