Yeelight Smart RGB LED Light Strip Pro 2M Cuttable low Power Consumption, Remote Control, (Extendable up to 10m) AUS/NZ Version

Easy enough to set up, however the instructions are poor. The lighting itself is good, does well without being too pricey. This is not mentioned in the manual but the first time you power on a blue light shows on the control box, the light strip does not switch on. The blue light is bluetooth/network pairing it seems, I had to unplug the cable and re-connect at which point a yellow light showed on the controller and the light strip came on. You only get a couple of different settings on the control box and a couple more if you install the software(scan QR code with smartphone). It is better to control from the phone app, make sure to unplug...view more Easy enough to set up, however the instructions are poor. The lighting itself is good, does well without being too pricey.

It is better to control from the phone app, make sure to unplug cable and reconnect so blue light comes on when setting up app, needed for the light strip to show in the app(press + in upper right corner of app to add lightstrip). This not well documented, so I hope it helps.

Going from the 'OG' strip lights with blue and red LED making a Purple light to this, amazing. I have it under my desk to defuse onto the wall and looks great. I am using the Yeelight app on PC for RGB control along with other Yeelight products. I have on half brightness which is plenty enough. I wish it had two connector heads instead of one extendable one (upto 10m) so I could have two strips going separate ways powered by one strip instead of 1 big long one or two separate strips. Purchased back in June and adhesive is still going strong! haven't had any problems with it. Remote control through Apple Home is a plus can easily turn it on...view more Going from the 'OG' strip lights with blue and red LED making a Purple light to this, amazing.

Would be even better if it was USB powered. Software is a little hard to use and Yeelight station app modes 'Colour Play' and 'Music Flow' have pretty bad latency issues, music flow having the worst latency. Lights themselves are great, software not so much.

its good and yeah its good and yeah

Fantastic lights to put on the back of your gaming setup! Very bright and colourful, a lot of different effects to bring your setup to life! Fantastic lights to put on the back of your gaming setup! Very bright and colourful, a lot of different effects to bring your setup to life!

App is a little complicated to get working and takes a lot of back and forth to get fully working App is a little complicated to get working and takes a lot of back and forth to get fully working

I bough this in store - the actual strip and controller are good, but the software and instructions are lacking. To connect the strip, reset by turning off and then turning on and holding down the power button until the strip flashes multicolors, then add with the Yeelight app (not the yeelight station app). If you see the strip appearing in visible wi-fi networks it is ready to be set up. Make sure you type your network password right, the app does not tell you the password is wrong but gives a timeout error.

I bought the strip to control using the Yeelight Station software on PC rather than via the phone app, especially with the "Colour Play" setting in mind (where the strip matches colours being shown on your display). I was pretty disappointed with this initially and after research as the strip only appears as a single light rather than having assignable sections. But updating to the latest firmware for the strip, it is now assignable in sections. With this update I would be very happy with it, the strip has very good colour accuracy matching colours on screen and decent brightness, but there is significant latency of around 300-400ms between the software sending a command to the strip and the lighting changing - this makes it not very good for anything with fast moving action, and the "Music Flow" is kind of useless unless you want flashing disco lights that are out of sync with the music being played. The strip also doesn't work as a smart strip with no internet connection. It seems like the way the light works is your PC sends the commands to the Yeelight server in Singapore and then the server sends commands back to the actual light.

I do have some hope of the software improving and latency possibly being better controlled with other software or more servers (if the system does work like that) - though brief experiment with Razer Synapse integration seemed to not make any difference - though that still uses the Yeelight software

When trying to change colours it gets stuck on the last one, Some colours or modes make the colour flicker making it look really bad.

I am impressed with the wide range of colours and functions. Similar to another review, the only downside is the app which I found very confusing and time consuming to set up.
Also wish their was an extension cable from controller box to led strip Overall this product is really good does as intended simple to apply easy set up!

I enjoy the product itself but compared to other products like this I have the software is a nightmare to use. I spent a long time trying to connect it to google home/yeelight software and gave up in the end so it's basically just a manually changed colour strip at this point.
