These lights drop a fair amount of voltage from end to end (~3volts). The far end will appear noticeably darker than the end near the plug. When the full 5m strip is connected from a single end it only consumes 24 watts. Connected at both ends it consumes about 30 watts (middle remains noticeably darker). I cut off a short segment to see how much power it would consume without the voltage drop limitations of the long strip. The 30 LED segment used about 0.5 amps. Scaling that up to the 300 LEDs on the 5 meter length it should be using 5 amps or 60 watts. I'm uncertain how these results compare to other brands, but I hope this information will be useful to the educated buyer.

Within setting up the lights they immediately didn’t work and when they did would only work for 5 minutes at a time. And when I tried to move the lights one of the pieces broke! Would not recommend.

These Waterproof 5050 RGB 5M 300 LED SMD LED strip lights are great value and very effective. Be aware though that they are not all the same colour. With the same power applied to all three colours of different individual strips, the different strips can exhibit slightly different colour hue's. When you put several together, this can look very obvious. You need to purchase in batches and test for colour prior to installation. As there is a single common conductor, the colour mismatch is more prominent with 'white' where all colour are sharing the same common conductor. Also, the short connection wire that is used it too small for the MAX current. These things come into play when you're using many of them.

We bought two of these kits for some underbody lighting on a go-kart. The LED's are bright enough to be seen even in daylight, and the installation couldn't have been easier as the LED strip has adhesive pre-applied. The strips can be cut and re-soldered (look for the cut points) if you have the time and ability... meaning that 5 meters is plenty to do a fun custom lighting setup. If you already have the adapter (the 12V plug) and a 12V source you can literally have this installed and running in minutes.
