Wish app has all sorts of crazy things. Might take about two months to deliver though. Payments with debit cards do not work.

I feel it is a fake/Copied products seller.

Need help in buying Bright Cool White LED Strips, for replacing existing lighting in Kitchen..
any suggestion for products?
SMD 5050 LEDs have maximum brightness?

*www.ledsupply.com/blog/ultimate-guide-on-buying-led-strip-lights/

*www.lightstec.com/led-strip-light-buying-guide/

but which one to choose? how many adapter and how much wattage should be purchased?
or buy locally from lamington road?

 

[Nerevarine]

Make sure whatever LEDs you buy have "warm" setting.
Tinkering around with RGB values can also get you warm white but its not the same.

I think you shud stay with LED bulbs, Else you can get LED Batten from Havells which has 2-Tone options, Both Warm White and cool white And batten is thin and light. Because LED strips dont Last long, Those can be used in fancy decoration. I used them in my Dining room, lasted me only 9 months, and went dead, with some LEDs having less Brightness.

You can otherwise Go with Phillips Hue, As they have Good LED strip offerings, and should last longer, but is V. Expensive.

They are extremely overpriced On Amazon India. In banggood, no one is delivering to India. AliExpress too has similar issues.

Is it removable? Like will it also remove the paint like tape does to wall?
Also Does the ink of the marker completely erases or some left over is there on it after erasing?

I had been looking for something like this but could not find one...

LED Bulbs/Tubes also dying in a year or 2. Not those SMD/COB LEDs but those driver (mainly capacitor). Those who know will repair or replace driver and make it work. Most people throw not working bulb to bin.
I mentioned this because I used 2-3 year old Philips LED Tube's strip in the kitchen. Driver was damaged (capacitor), so removed that driver and connected with Mi charger 27W. Now LED Tube's Strip working fine.

If you have still have that LED strip check the adapter, driver then try replacing it with charger.

I purchased 10 LED Injection Module locally, SMD for ₹10 per module and COB for ₹20 per module, 12V
Let's see how long it will lasts.

Ya, those bulbs don't last long. I fixed a bulb from Eveready, one of its LEDs had died so just bypassed that one.

Actually the strip I bought was rs.20/m with 15 LEDs/m. Bought during Diwali, died after 4-5 days. I used it 10-12 hrs/day. But good quality ones from Phillips should last. Like Philips hue ?

That cap mainly dies because they need to use one with higher volt. Capacity. Usually they are rated 80-90volts, but if they had used 250-230 bots one, it would give no problems. Maybe size is an issue here, as it takes more space...

You don't need any instruction manual, just put whatever you want chopped inside & start pulling the rope like you would do in a gym for some resistance wire exercises.
