    Best use case: I put an LED strip along the staircase and connect it to the motion sensor above and below the staircase, so it lights up the whole staircase when people walk up or down the stairs. My mom cannot see very well in the dark and had a few injuries from walking down the stairs at night. She is very happy with the installation and felt much safer walking on the stair at night now being able to see each step she makes!

    Just for those who are going to use this review... Opard ones are great the first couple weeks of so but over time they are really poor. Keep losing connection and they just keep failing. If you try to use the strips around your bed or tv the connections keep breaking. Just avoid them at all cost!

    I wished I saw your your review last night!!!
    I spent 3 hours researching the cheapest waterproof music synch LED strip based on delivery within a 2 days, this was because I needed this for a Valentines day event.
    However being a SMART LED would be a bonus as it would allow the freedom to operate from another location.
    I wanted to buy the GOVEE Dream colour MINGER through Amazon, but it was either not available or it exceeded the required delivery date. Therefore I purchased the Govee Music Sync Phone APP Controlled RGB Rope Light for £25 to be delivered same day.
    I was very surprised to find that the OPARD for £20 SMART LED strip won out of all the others!!
    However you did not mention if it also had the music synch feature too.
    If it does come with music synch, I certainly would have purchased the OPARD because it offers most of my needs for a party for an amazing price.
    Thank you for sharing and I shall consider OPARD SMART LED for my next project.

    best use case: put them up pretty much anywhere in the house as it would annoy my wife, which is always funny

    I have Hue strips in my home theater and Amazon no brand led strips on the mixer wall in my home recording studio. Now I plan to add led light strips in a coved ceiling in the master bed room.

    Difference between the 2 Govee, one is dreamcolor (multiple colors can be displayed at the same time) and the other is regular(one color at a time). They are both smart led strips that works with Alexa not ur google home. The quality and the options u can do with govee is way more than than opard and lumary

    I would use the led strip for either a smart mirror, around monitors, or in sheds server cab

    Hi how are you doing. I am a South African. I moved to the UK about 10 years ago. I was about to buy myself a new car and watched one of your videos on your Mini John Cooper Works. Really liked your video. I’m pretty much a tech gadget geek myself. Really like to see more of your videos. Really enjoy watching you and learning so much.

      I am just about to do my new kitchen up and a set of those LEDs would be great

    My room tends to be quite dark with my lights just not covering the whole room, so would put them around the roof of the room

    Best use case: in my sons room as we are slowing making it a gamers paradise!
