" ... These lights are complete junk. ... "
" ... I just got them like 3 days ago and don’t work this sucks ... "
" ... My lights stopped working when i was trying to do the DIY. ... "
" ... I buy like a month ago and not working all ready I buy 10 pieces some I'm kind of mad ... "
" ... I plugged them in, then put them up. ... They still didn’t work. ... "
" ... They did not work! ... "
" ... I don't know if the fall was the reason it stopped working, but if it is, this product is so poorly made because it didn't fall from a distance that would cause any damage. ... "
" ... Worked well until about the third week, right when the return policy ended. ... Then a section went out and started blinking. ... Was thrilled with them until they went kaput after such a short time. ... "

" ... lesson learned hung them up adhesive works great after time consuming of hanging them up plugged them in and don’t work! ... "
" ... They lasted a week on my sons walls and completely fell off and have no more stickiness to stick again. ... "
" ... The strips continuously fall off the walls and I eventually threw them away. ... "
" ... The adhesive will NOT stay on any wall, continuously falling. ... When we finally took the lights completely down, the adhesive that wouldn't stay up, pulled off all of the paint! ... "
" ... I brushed it off thinking hm maybe it just got stuck onto the tape realizing there was no tape for me to peel off leaving me hopeless. ... "

" ... THIS IS THE WORST REMOTE CONTROL EVER. ... The lights look to be ready to turn on but the only problem is that the remote control is so cheap!!! ... "
" ... The remote was a pain, because it has to be in direct line-of-sight with the IR receiver in order to work. ... "
" ... The remote control isn’t working this item is brand new still in the box! ... "
" ... I changed the batteries in the remote and checked the connections and nothing. ... "
" ... The lights are bright and remote control works if pointed directly at the sensor but the biggest problem is there is no adhesion left after 1 month. ... "
" ... The remote doesnt even work. ... "
" ... The remote doesn’t work how do I get then to turn on ... "
" ... But the remote is pretty cheap plastic, and the button pad came lose from the casing, rendering it inoperable. ... I ordered a new remote replacement on Amazon, and it's on its way. ... "

" ... The controller arrived broken. ... "
" ... They’re nice but they came with one of the connectors broken and one side only worked for 48 hours and certain controls on the remote are not working at all. ... "
" ... lights were broke when they arrived. ... "
" ... You need to actually cut off the connector prong off of the end part of the first strip being used, then peel back the thick clear gel coating in order to stick the piece under the connectors metal part (I don’t know the technical terms). ... "
" ... Feels too cheap ... "
" ... THEN you struggle to thread the strand in the connector brackets and have them not rip off or jiggle loose while you are installing the lights around your room. ... "
" ... The adapter barely fits in with the lights, I had to hold it together with tape so that they don't fall apart. ... "
" ... So the problem is in the white box where you attach the string. ... "

" ... My intention when ordering them was to connect them all into one long strip so I'd only need one controller, therefor I bought connectors. ... "
" ... One strip does not work unless you hold pressure to the 5 prong connection and even then, it only works on green. ... "
" ... This makes it difficult to completely conceal the wires. ... "
" ... I checked all of the connections between the wires and unplugged them and replugged them in and they don’t work! ... "
" ... Finally out them up and of the connectors does not work. ... "
" ... Then they didn’t have connectors and there was no info on how to do it so we ordered some small white connectors. ... "
" ... One box only had connectors on one end, second box had on both ends. ... "
" ... The cord is INCREDIBLY short so putting them on my ceiling was challenge to work with the cords on to say the least. ... "

" ... it didn’t come with the black strip at the end to connect all lights together on the wall. ... "
" ... Connecting together is a joke. ... "
