The 50 feet 12volt RGB led lighting strip is powered by large AC adapter. There are 3 rolls of 16 feet led lighting which can be chained together. It is controlled by a small controller and power splitter that has microphone for lighting effects that changes with music beats.

The controller also saves the last programmed function and settings. You can program it with the IR remote or with the app on a smart phone via Bluetooth. I programmed mine to be scheduled to run during night hours with an amber white light glow for my couch. I experimented with adding it to my stairway handles and closet.

After programming, I no longer needed the application on my phone and removed it. The controller still can get signals from the IR remote when its ON. For my controller, when its set to be scheduled to a certain time, it SOMETIMES locks out the IR remote.

This can be good and bad. The good is that no one can change it later and mess up your settings. The bad I will need to use the smartphone app to change the program. and it was not consistent with the IR remote control override lock out.

PROS:

  • Easy setup with 3 rolls of 16 ft RGB LED lighting.
  • Can be daisy chained
  • Good mood ambient lighting
  • AC powered
  • IR remote control has many control options ( timed on/off, lighting color and fade effects, light levels, and music beat effects.
  • Advanced programming can be done via Bluetooth with their smart phone App: Scheduled on / off time, RGB light levels and settings, music beat control from phone, via APP. Once programmed the controller keeps the setting.

CONS:

  • Only one programable controller in package ( You will need to buy another kit if you want light in a different room grouping).
  • No IR remote reset button for advanced programming – you need to use their app to update.
  • Inconsistent override with IR remote.

Overall this kit is fun and simple to experiment with and has potential for future DIY projects by cutting up and soldering the cable later. If you are planning to make a whole room or area one lighting setting this will work. If you want to add different colors and lighting scenes, you will need multiple kits or more advanced kits with different scenes. There are also other LED RGB strip lights that work off of Wifi and smart assistants ( https://amzn.to/2H5WYcD ).

There are several improvements to the 2017 – 2018 versions I bought and reviewed. I bought the 2017 version of the Type S Solar HD Wireless Car Backup Cam for $124! Here is the install and review video ( https://youtu.be/SP5ifKcy7Vk ). It has lasted past 3 years with occasional charging. I normally park outdoors in full sun. This is a good kit if you don’t want to splice wires and just want a plug and play solution. There are other wireless backup cameras which use 12 volt power from a reverse light ( https://amzn.to/2OdiudB ), but this unit makes it even simpler for the DIYer!

The 2020 TypeS Solar Wireless Backup Cam uses two solar panels on each side of the license plate to power the camera! It has a battery and solar panel built in to the license plate! From the specifications, they now have a 5000 mah battery, which is larger than my 3350 mah battery in the 2017 version. The camera is also off center on the frame. The new version also is able to use two cameras for the front and back view. According to the box, they assume you will leave your car charging in the sun for at least 2 hours a day, and using the backup camera for less than 10 times.

The installation instructions are virtually the same as my 2017 version and will probably take about 10 minutes to install. The backup camera kit is activated by waving your hand at the monitor , touch screen, and by g-sensor (car movement) to wake up the camera.
