MY LAMP 2.0M LED TV Backlight USB Bias Lighting with 16 Colors and 4 Dynamic Mode for 40 to 60 Inch HDTV,PC Monitor,Led Light Strip.(4pcs x 0.5m Led Strips)

My main telly is a 55" Sony 4K UHD HDR etc. etc. I recently bought a 42" Philips model which has "Ambilight" for the conservatory and I really like it. After checking out various options I chose this 2m LED TV Backlight USB Bias Lighting with 16 Colors and 4 Dynamic Mode for 40 to 60 Inch HDTV to fit on my Sony TV. The kit arrived quickly in a surprisingly small box. The kit comprises four LED strips, which were connected together in the box and so have to be separated, the remote sensor is attached to the end of one strip, three connecting ribbon cables, four spacing brackets, USB cable and easy to follow instructions with a useful troubleshooting section. After cleaning the surface at the rear of the TV and deciding where to fit the spacing brackets for the LED strips I went ahead and fitted the strips themselves, making sure all the direction arrows were pointing in the same direction. I did have to lift one strip at the top of the TV to reposition it slightly and the adhesive backing is showing no signs of coming unstuck. I then connected the small remote sensor to a spare USB port on the TV and switched on. The remote control works perfectly even though the remote sensor is out of sight on the rear of the TV. One thing I did find though was that one of the strips was showing a different colour to the other three. I checked the troubleshooting guide and realised I had reversed the polarity of one of the strips. This was easily rectified by disconnecting the strip, turning the plug on the ribbon cable over, reconnecting it and Bingo! All working. My TV is on a stand and sits about 18" from the wall, which is white in colour. The LEDs, even on their lowest setting still cast a pleasant hue. I prefer the 'smooth' dynamic setting which cycles through all available colours. This kit does not have the facility to follow the colours of the picture or the beat of music like the Philips Ambilight does. Such aftermarket kits are available which use a camera mounted on the TV, to monitor the colours on the screen and adjusts the LED's accordingly.I didn't want or need that level of funcionality. I love the simplicity of this kit and the pleasing results it gives. For less than a tenner, I think this is a no brainer upgrade.

The media could not be loaded. Arrived in 24 hours with prime. Packaged well and small enough to fit through a letterbox if you're out.For others information initially the four LED strips are joined together in one roll but they seperate easily.I started by plugging in the USB cable to the TV which has an AC/DC cable at the other end then attached the main LED strip which is where the AC/DC pin attaches into then placed the final three LED strips around the TV. For informative purposes my TV is 49" and the LED strips were adequate size wise. I cannot confirm for other sizes perhaps other reviews can help with that.Strips are nice and thin on a white backing strip. Adhesion so far seems fine. However from past experience the heating up of the rear of the TV can cause the adhesive to become less effective but for now, day one no issues.LED's are nice and bright absolutely no complaints there. The glow coming from them reflected on the wall behind is very soothing and not overwhelming.The remote is nice one of the nicer ones I have and I have quite a collection gathering now. It's very responsive and works well. None of the available functions aren't working or responding. It should be noted that brightness control only works when you have picked one static colour and it works well. Brightness cannot be increased or decreased when on smooth, fade, strobe or flash unfortunately.This is a far better set than the previous set I bought which developed not one but two faults eights months into use and are now fit for the bin as neither the seller or Amazon are willing to enforce the one year guarantee offered with them and this is why I purchased this set. I wish I'd purchased these in the first place everything about them is much better. I appreciate it's just day one but I'm happy and hopeful. I certainly give my seal of approval and I'm a very fussy consumer.

Bought for my bedroom and I am not dissapointed.A great range of bright colours with different modes allowing for brighter or dimmer colours.Remote is easy to use and the product itself is cheap and reliable.Only slight negative is the sticky part of the lights does not last for long.

Fantastic quality lights . I have tried so many versions of this type of light but these ones are far the best .I wanted to backlight a aluminium wall sculpture and these lights have worked a treat.Bright lovely , vivid colours and dimmable too.Superb product .

Very easy to set up, peal back and stick onto tv. Good choice of colour and brightness

Easy to apply.the length given Fits on 3 sides of 55inch TV(1 each vertical⬆️ side and 2 strips needed running horizontally ⬅️➡️)I fitted mine in my usb 3.0 connection behind TV as it offers more voltage for max brightness of these the picture shown was at night at max brightness. I tested this on I phone charger and can confirm the max brightness of each colour was increased by about 20 per cent.The lights come on when your TV is on and turn off even when on standby mode and remembers your last light setting. Has different light modes and the remote is ugly functional and is kept hidden as I don't change the colour often.Has the choice of multiple RGB colour options.Has been up for a couple weeks now and so far so good have left TV running every day for several hours.My tip would be to apply at night and before sticking use blue tac and play about with how far you want lights to TV perimeter to control how much light bleed you want. In the picture above attached the lights about 6cm from edges. This will depend on the back colour of your TV(mines silver so more reflective ) and the colour of wall and the distance from wall. I am fussy
