Yes you control the color and the effects through the remote. The quality of the product is very decent. If you search ebay there are tons of different models with even more remote options. Just make sure it comes with a power supply so it works right out of the box..

Edit: the one you're looking at looks nice. BTW, the one I got is water resistant. Unless you are using it outdoors, you don't need that option. One other thing, even if you get the water resistant model, the power supply and controller aren't meant to be used outdoors, or in wet environments

Can you cut the strip to a certain length, or are you stuck with the 5m?

Finally got an Apple TV but I can't get it until fatso Santa delivers it.

Damn wife.

It's cuttable at every nine LED's on the RGB models, and every 3 LED's on the single color models

They can be cut and "re-soldered" to whatever size you need.

Interesting. Im thinking about adding them to the back of my TV.

If you end up getting the RGB 5050 style, those are cuttable every 3 since each LED has 3 colors.

Bought myself an American Giant hoodie. Made in USA. Apparently it is "Greatest hoodie ever made". $89 is a steep price for a hoodie, but seeing it's USA made and made from the "best materials", I thought I'd give it a try. If not, it's going back.

If you're interested in buying one, note they tend to run a size too small.

What colors are they? And is 220 compatible (since I live in Greece)?

All depends on the Power Supply. First thing, make sure you're bidding on one that comes with one. Second, most switching supplies work on both 110 and 220 volts. To be sure, you need ask the seller if the incoming voltage is not listed.. They all work on 12 volts DC..

Edit: Colors are Red, Green, Blue, or white for single color versions, The RGB 5050 models should have many because each LED die has three colors that can be mixed to make many different colors. I just ordered a 5050 without a power supply because I have several in stock. I'm new at this so I'm not an expert on these LED strips....yet


Here's an unboxing video I found on youtube

latest two cult film pre-orders...

Beyond > while I prefer City of the Dead when it comes Fulci's Zombie films, for the price currently offered this is a steal.

Cult of the Damned > the thought of Roddy McDowell as a late 60s pop star in a strange scenario is too good to pass up. So blind buy.

Splurged on myself (whoops) - got it used off BHPhoto.

I've always wanted a Glock, and now I finally have one. Finalized my Glock 17 Gen3 purchase today. Also put 99 9mm rounds through it at the range not long after. Lost one round out of a 100 pack

Where did you purchase? I like the silver color and I need one for the vehicle.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Teal/Pink XX9's, Retro 1 Legend Blue, Retro 11 Legend Blue. Kinda addicted again. lol.

 

[Whorehay]

Been pining for one for a while now... Loving it and the wide screen so far. Hard to leave the comfortable confines of the Apple ecosystem but it's great to have a phone and OS that's geared more toward enterprise use.

Always been a fan of the keyboard, but now with just enough Android app support, it's a nice piece of kit.

I purchased mine from these guys and I'd highly recommend them.

It isn't silver, only the light made it look lighter in color. They only sell stock Glocks. Plain gun metal gray with a black polymer grip.

Picked up an Asus VivoTab 8. I've been eyeing Windows 8.1 tablets and I found that this one is the best of the cheaper options. Intel Bay Trail Atom CPU, 2GB RAM, full multi-touch support (most other options don't), and the $149 price tag on the Microsoft Store was the deciding factor. It just arrived today and I am loving it so far.
