I bought these lights and very little explanation on how to cut and reconnect the strip was provided. additionally, do not buy this product if you are hoping to use different lengths of the strip in different places. NOT WORTH THE MONEY

I purchased about 2k worth of hue products for my entire house. Two long strip went out so I purchased a new set of “essential” 16ft strips. They do not compare to the original ones I purchased over 8 years afo
Great LED light strip!

They set up instantaneously, were easy to install, paired with my hub quickly, and I love how the LED strip separates multiple colors for dynamic scenes.
