I decided to buy these for our living room due to an inadequate pre-installed light fixture in the corner of the room. The package arrived quickly and undamaged, however we couldn’t install them immeadiately since we felt the adhesive wouldn’t stick well to our textured ceiling and our staple gun was way too tight of a fit. After ordering some nail-in clips, we finally installed them. They work wonderfully. The remote offers a wide range of color options, brightness options, and six DIY options. However, the remote does feel cheap and we fear that it will fall apart quickly. We decided to install the app and we love the lights even more now. The app offers all the features that the remote does, but with a simple touchscreen, and gives us access to light patterns. The pulsing red one is our favorite. We plan on ordering more of these lights for the rest of the house!
