BTF-LIGHTING RGBW RGBCW White SK6812 (Similar WS2812B) 3.3ft 1m 144leds/pixels/m Individually Addressable Flexible 4 Color in 1 LED Dream Color LED Strip Waterproof IP65 DC5V

I've been purchasing the BTF-LIGHTING RGBW SK6812 LED strips for various projects and I must say, they never disappoint. The pixel density is fantastic, allowing for detailed color displays, and the brightness level of the strip is just stellar. Over the time, I've bought at least 50 of these strips, and the consistency in quality keeps me coming back for more.What stands out is the quality of LEDs. They have proved to be reliable and defect-free, which is crucial for the lighting projects I work on. The individual addressability of the LEDs is a feature that I appreciate a lot, it allows for a myriad of color combinations and animations, making my projects look lively and captivating.The energy efficiency when lighting up a single pure white light is a thoughtful feature, especially in scenarios where I want to manage power consumption while maintaining bright illumination. The chainable design is convenient for extending or customizing the length of the strip to fit specific project requirements.This LED strip has become a go-to for me, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone in need of high-quality, reliable, and vibrant lighting solutions.

I ordered 3 of these strips and all LEDs were fully functional.Pros:-All LEDs work and are all individually addressable-Warm White color on the white channel is very nice in my opinion-IP65 coating is very nice and clear-Color Response is great!-Voltage drop didn't seem to affect the color on the white channel until the 3rd meterCons:-Slight gap between the 72nd and 73rd LED as you can see in a couple of the product pictures. Not very noticeable if you use a light diffuser-As of writing this review, there isn't a controller that is alexa compatible that works with the SK6812RGBW standardOther:-With the SP107E controller, there's a "white" slider that operates seperately of the other colors. What this means is you can't switch from "white" to "blue" to "teal," etc. unless you have the "white" slider all the way down. This isn't exactly intuitive and not ideal in my opinion, but it all does work.Customer Service:When I purchased a non-compatible controller (Worked for SK6812 but not SK6812-RGBW), BTF emailed me to let me know and pointed me to other compatible controllers. They were also very helpful answering questions and explaining available options. Best non-amazon customer service I've ever experienced!

This product has definitely earned my approval, would purchase again

Item was clearly substituted with another smaller item that has several inches fewer. Either that or the product description is entirely innacurate.The product that arrived was labeled as being about 3" shorter than the product listing, and the actual length is marginally shorter than that. Its *almost* correct, but still incorrect.

This review is specifically for the BTF lighting RGBW high density strips. Replaced existing lighting with LED channel strips. After three or four unsatisfactory attempts I decided to try this brand and have been pleasantly surprised. Great quality, no defects, good worksmanship on the end connectors, and nicely packaged. Beautiful light end-to-end with this product. Liked it so much I’ve ordered four times now!

UPDATE:This morning I was contacted by BTF about resolving the issue. They offered me a refund or replacement to remedy the situation. They were very pleasant and accommodating when they didn't have to be. This seems to be a single bad experience, which they are correcting 100%. I have used their other strips which are great strips, and now I can say that their customer service is TOP NOTCH. Very shocked that they would be willing to help me after so many months. Thank you BTF. I have found numerous vendors for these strips. After this experience, I'm happy to say that BTF will be my sole provider moving forward.ORIGINAL REVIEW (9/26/18)I purchased the BTF SK6812's a few months ago. I have been wiring SK6812 (3535) strips and WS2812B strips for a while now. These SK6812's are the 5050 version and I thought I would give a set (2 rolls) a try.THEY DID NOT WORK.I have rewired them 6 times, and used multiple gage wire, connectors, and power sources with no luck. I have tested with my multi-meter too and everything is wired correctly, power is traveling through the strips, but the LED's just won't light up.The SK6812's were around $27, where the WS2812B strips are as low as $20 and a LOT better. I wish I knew I had a bad set of strips while I was still in the return time. $55 dollars totally wasted. These are not worth the risk.I would highly recommend the BTF WS2812B's instead. I have not had a single problem with those.

Worked ok for a few weeks then single led's start to malfunction. After less than a year, 25% of the strip doesn't work. I have multiple strip of the same brand and model in both IP30, IP65 and IP67. All doing the same thing. Can't replace single Led, must cut out and shorten strip. Almost impossible with 144 count per meter and IP65/67 strips. Purchased new BFT-Lighting again and in less than a month they failed again. Tired of reinstalling so won't purchase anything from BFT-Lighting again. Lost customer because of these product. Bad for business.

The media could not be loaded. Been using these lights for the last 5 years, along with the SP107E Led Controller, for a handful of DIY projects, and just love them. worth the cost. i prefer to have the additional warm LED light for added light up options. Have probably bought close to 10 of these strips over the years, however the last few ones have arrived DOA ( dead on arrival ) in which case i just exchange them for free. Have also splice them at different lengths with no issues ( simple soldering )only LED strips i would get.
