LEDwholesalers Color Changing LED Flex Strip

Received just before Christmas and put it up on the center beam in living room facing the Christmas tree and used the fade setting to make it like part of the Christmas decorations. It's been in use everyday for a month so far. During the evenings set it to white and it makes enough light to read by, at night set it to the dimmest green only and it works as a great night light. The only problem is the sticky tape... it doesn't stick for very long even with prepping the wall before applying it. Dusted wall, cleaned it with soapy cloth, rinsed with clean wet cloth, dried the wall and washed with alcohol to remove anything left, left it to dry for a little while. Very carefully removed paper covering sticky tape, if not careful can remove sticky tape instead of covering, peeled off sticky tape covering as I moved down the wall applying LED strip. It stayed in place for a day or two but then started to come lose from the power connector end, I decided the weight of the wires was pulling it off the wall, so I used some of the clear packing tape to tape the wires to the wall... then the other end started to peel off (the end with the short wires) so I did the same with clear packing tape on that end (just tape the wires to the wall). It seems the sticky tape that is on the LED strip will not hold up to the weight of even the short wires, but will hold the LED strip in place if the ends are secured with better tape. The way I'm using the LED strip the LEDs are visible and at full brightness can be a little annoying, I'm thinking of making something that would hold the LED strip so it can be moved later if needed and that would help diffuse the light so it wouldn't be such bright points. I was also worried about the power supply being that it was close to the same wattage as the LED strip at full brightness but it hasn't been any problem and works very well. One problem, if you can call it a problem. I have a Yamaha surround sound system and the infrared codes to the LED controller/dimmer seem to have some of the same codes. Within the square created by the pre-programmed colors: Volume up = second from right on bottom row purple button, volume down = bottom right blue button, mute = left button second row up from bottom orange button. There might be other codes too, one time it went to DIY4 button color but I can't duplicate it, it wasn't until a little time had passed before I realized the color had changed... it might have been power off or on or night mode or selecting a different input... or someone changed the color accidently and not realized it. One controller will work with more then one LED strip. I have two of these and either controller will work with both LED strips. If just setting one color may have to select that color more then once to get both to same color, depends on how close the receivers are to each other. If trying to synchronize auto color change the two strips I have will change at different rates, but maybe if adjusting the rate for each strip individually you might get them synchronized... I didn't try that. I haven't really used them with color change except for Christmas morning for the grand kids. The DIY buttons allow adjusting color and brightness. The dimmer button doesn't work on DIY buttons but by adjust each color to a desired brightness/color you can have color setting for whatever brightness you decide... and then by hitting that DIY button it will change to that color and brightness. Very likely I will be buying more of these in the future.
