As others have mentioned, it really depends on the intended usage mostly in regards to output power and white light quality. RGB can't produce white, it can only make colors. Actual white light is a full spectrum which adding R+G+B together can't do. If you'd go RGBW or RGBCCT that's solved but then there is a problem of white light quality still. The CRI or RA value of the light. This needs to be a decent CRI90 (not tricked) but preferred even higher, values such as the R9 value are important. And even when that would be ok, there is the light output. Digitally addressable strips often just aren't that bright, the little controllers on there can only handle so much. Dumb analog PWM lighting can go much brighter. Now if this is purely a bedroom, using some ws2805 for instance, which has a fair CRI90 and dual white LEDs would work I'd think. But if you want to do something that requires a decent amount of light, working on a project, reading a book for a while, etc. Etc. You'll likely want more light... Check out my video about ws2805 those would be your besr bet in quality while being addressable but I do also highlight and show the power issue. Hope it helps! Answer from Quindor on reddit.com

r/WLED on Reddit: Led Strip Suggestions for Bedroom Ceiling

April 5, 2024 -

Hi everyone,

I need led strip suggestions for my bedroom ceiling. The length I need is 50 feet and I need something with a good adhesive and bright led colours.

Also it would be great if the led lights sync with music or sounds.

What would be your suggestions?

Please see the attached picture as well.

Let me know if I forgot to mention any details, I will provide them on the comments.

Thanks.

id consider 24v strips (higher voltage = lower voltage drop = less power injection), such as the 24v WS2811 COB strips. youll need something like total 15m of ~18 awg wire for 5 runs up and down your wall, 3 (d, gnd, v) to the start of the strip, 2 (gnd, v) to the end (only power injecting at the start and the end of the strip at the same place). youll probably benefit from using an INMP441 I2S microphone over any others, since its widely regarded as the best mic for an esp32/ projects like these. your psu would probably be in the ballpark of 300w considering realistic usage (max would be >400W, however thats not quite realistic and very overkill). some extras you may want to consider for safety: you may want to add an inline fuse for both power runs for safety, 15a should suffice. potentially using a power relay board, cutting off all power to the strips once you turn off the leds in wled app (youd be surprised how much they actually use even when “off”). so yeah, thats what i would consider, lmk if you have any further questions.

I did drop down crown molding. I laid down metal duct tape first to provide additional reflection first. It added an additional 10% to the brightness. Then, I added the RGB strip. These are 5 volt.

I'm intending to remove the ceiling light and use around 15m of fcob RGB led strips as the light source. I've heard that this isn't a good idea, but no explanation was offered.

I'd mainly be using it as warm white or neutral white, with the option to change colours as and when and have individual zones. The strips themselves will be hidden and installed as a form of indirect lighting.

As others have mentioned, it really depends on the intended usage mostly in regards to output power and white light quality. RGB can't produce white, it can only make colors. Actual white light is a full spectrum which adding R+G+B together can't do. If you'd go RGBW or RGBCCT that's solved but then there is a problem of white light quality still.

It's probably only considered not a good idea if you want a lot of light. It won't exactly fill the room with light so you'll have to bear that in mind.

I have 33ft of a multiple color led strip for my new apartment. I want to use them to brighten the room, so I can wake up to the light as it mimics the sun rise. (I used to have overhead lights so this was easier to do). Any ideas on where to put them?

I'm struggling with how to not have the lights just sitting on the wall. Cuurent idea is around the base melting, but they still won't be hidden.

Don't go too crazy, it's easy to make things look like a strip club.

Additionally, is it possible to cut the strips and reuse them?

r/homeautomation on Reddit: Anyone have a favorite source for LED strip lights?

October 29, 2017 -

I've tested one set of 2838 LEDs from Amazon for crown molding project and will likely add these to all bedrooms. I'll likely go with brighter 5050s on a dimmer.

Anyone care to share their fav source for LEDs at AliExpress, Amazon, etc?

LED strip lights are one of those things where there are a ton of different and varying qualities, outputs, and lifespans. I have done a lot of research and have favorites. The question for you is really, what is the intended use and lifespan you are looking for vs budget.

If you are looking for something that will last 10-15 years, have amazing color rendering, use the best LEDs with the best phosphors, 3-4oz copper strip for heat dissipation, and a really bright output, you probably want to avoid aliexpress and most amazon sellers. I am sure there are great ones on amazon. I couldnt find it. Also here in this page I have seen people link to amazon with referral links. Check the link before you take someones advice.

5050s are the older LED type and pretty inefficient compared to the new LEDs out there. If you are looking for color changing RGB, yeah the 5050s are good. But if you are looking for cove lighting with a nice warm white... I would recommend 3014, 2835, 2216, and 2110 LEDs (in high density).

You're probably going to need something 300-500 lumen per foot + on a dimmer if you need some good output.

I recommend going with a 24V light, as you can make longer runs without doltage drop or uses of amplifiers.

Amazon is a crapshoot. I have had great results for small behind the TV projects but when purchased again from same seller, the product changed and was junk. Others I got from amazon got too hot. I think they are overdriving the LEDs to achieve brightness.

Option 1 - Flexfire LEDs - Great super-bright product. I ordered years ago and the lights are still extremely bright, run cool, and they had a design service for free where I took my photos of my project and they built it all out and quoted it. A little more than I wanted to spend but for a 30-day guarantee, I said go for it. They have like 1500+ 5-star reviews that I assume are real. I love these.

Option 2 - Elemental LEDs I also tried these guys but I cannot find where you can buy online anymore. They had a good selection of dimmers and remotes and I used their lower output lights on my kickboards. They are still running well!

Option 3 - Environmental Lights - Great for DMX and controlls. I havent tried their lights honestly but the specs look good.

Just make sure you compare apples to apples and compare:

Lumen output per foot
How many oz of copper in PCB
Watts/foot
Maximum run length
warranty
compatibility with dimming systems
for me... customer support and warranty
Price. I tend to go higher quality = higher price. I think I paid like $115 for the Flex fire stuff per reel but it was 3x as bright as the other stuff and has lasted forever.
Color temperature and CRI (will each reel you get match the other reels color?) You do not want 5 reels with different shades of white, even a slight variation sucks.

I love strips and have them everywhere... Good luck

I am looking for this info as well. I picked up a Lightify starter kit on prime day. Having a hard time figuring out what 5 pin led strips are best to use for adding on... Because 6 feet is just not enough.

r/led on Reddit: Best Led Strips for bedroom?

October 13, 2021 -

I'm trying to find the best LED strips for a bedroom. We want to replace our traditional fan light and use LED strips. What are the best strips that have a high brightness, be programmed, have app control, and adressable led so we can program each individual led. Also what stuff we will need to use the lights. Thank you

The ones I use don't meet all of those requirements...but hear me out. I use the brand Hitlights. You can get em on Amazon or their .com . They aren't individually addressable and are sold just as the strip. You can (I have) get smart home compatible power supplies and dimmers to control them. The reason I chose this brand is because they are bright as heck, have a high CRI, and are 5000k color temp. High CRI gives you accurate colors that you see. You didn't mention if you wanted just white or RGB. For bedroom main lighting I wouldn't suggest using RGB, the color temp will be off and the CRI won't be accurate. If you wanna go crazy you could do both a high quality white and an individually addressable RGB.

I like the 30 LEDs per meter govee strips.

r/led on Reddit: Led Strips for my bedroom

January 29, 2018 -

Hi I’m fairly new to this sub but I have a question for getting some led strips for my room.if someone can help me find a 50 foot, amazon Alexa, smart led strip for around 50 dollars. My room diameter is around 47 feet.

Going to be hard to find anything that long for that price. Most LED strips come in lengths of 5 meters (16.4 ft) but I found one that’s 10 meters for $45 here.

I know you’re knew to LEDs but if you’re willing to put in a little bit of work you could DIY it and get an even better result for about $80. Get three of these addressable strips so they can go around your whole ceiling, a wemos D1 mini to control it, and a 5v 10a power supply. You’ll have to do some soldering but if you look up WLED you’ll see why it’s worth the work.

You could but you’d have two separate controllers. Idk how the app for these works but there might be a way to synchronize them

r/homeautomation on Reddit: What would be good rgbic led strips for a bedroom?

April 21, 2022 -

Here's my detail. I want to get better led lights for my room since my current ones are lacking. I would like for them to rgbic so I can do cool and pretty lighting effects in my room. I also have blackout curtains for the best effect. I would like the strips to also be smooth so diffusers or diy diffusing techniques would be great. The budget for this project however is undisclosed since this would be a Christmas gift.

I would like the cheapest option for the best quality possible, since I don't know the budget. It's fine if a better option is more expensive but I'd possible I'd like to be able to compare the two. I know this is a lot to ask for a stranger but I am a complete noob to this and I am pretty overwhelmed with all the different things that comes with it. That why I decided asking people who are more experienced would be better than screwing myself over.

By the way, 16.4 ft is good enough for a pretty decent amount of a corner in my room. So two of those would be enough for me. The power supply would just be a normal power outlet. Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)

WS2812 If you just want RGB but for a room I would really recommend something RGBxW because it's absolutely worth the extra cost for proper whites

BTF Lighting has some high quality and on sale right now, individually addressable lights. You will also need a controller and power supply. For a controller, if you are techy enough I would recommend a cheap ESP32 or ESP8266 board like the D1 Mini and flashing WLED firmware on it. Fantastic setup with lots of controls and effects, plus local home assistant integration.

r/HomeKit on Reddit: The best led strips

June 7, 2025 -

I have been wondering what are the best led strips for my ceiling. I am going to do an cloudy sky on my ceiling with led strips and cotton. Philips hue is bit out of my price range. The leds should preferrably be 5 meters and should be able to be controlled via an app.

are you gonna set it up behind the bed or for like the ceiling? cos you’ll be needing a longer strip for the ceiling. and it would cost a lot if going with Phillps Hue or something like that. imo you can find cheaper light strips at Amazon. they work as good as the premium ones with decent coverage and colours. plus i wouldn’t advice leaning towards those led lights that come with app control. cos those apps are useless anyways. slow connectivity and sometimes they stop working after a few updates. but for some who still wanna feel fancy with an app, then Govee works and the app is kinda smooth (v rare). but then the prices for these are also ridiculous. and there is not that much difference in the lighting. you’re just basically paying more for the app interface which doesn’t matter that much imo. although the cheaper ones wouldn’t last that long. but they’re already cheap so just replace them a few times over. you’re still gonna save money compared to buying the premium ones.

Govee COB strips https://us.govee.com/search?q=COB I used to use Hue but these are much nicer in my opinion and lower cost

r/LedLightStrips on Reddit: Using LED strips to light living room and bedroom

December 25, 2022 -

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to ask for some advice. I’m moving into a new apartment and it doesn’t have any lighting in the living room or bedroom. Most people just set up lamps however I came up with the idea of using led strips in aluminum channels on the baseboards and the corner of the ceilings to light up the room. I don’t have the exact dimensions of the rooms yet so I’m not 100% sure of the length of strips I would need but my assumption is 60-90 ft for the living room and 40-60 ft for the bedroom. Of course the numbers could be really off until the apartment opens up and I can get measurements. I found the channels no problem. However, I can’t seem to find a high density LED strip (dimmable whites) that would be able to light the entire room. I’m assuming I need something with 60 LEDs/meter or something along those lines. Is there any recommendations y‘all might have for this kind of application? Also, I want it to be Apple HomeKit compatible. If I have to do some extra work to get that feature working I’m willing to do it. Thank you!

My best recommendation would be to go with the highest voltage strips to help mitigate any voltage loss. I am running 24v led strips for my undercabinet lighting and it looks great, but it's no where near the length that you are attempting to run.

By the way, here's what I used for my under-cabinet lighting. The lights look great and they look like solid strips of light (no individual LEDs show): COBB LED Strips Power Supply (size to your requirements) Lighting controller (for my Android phone and I also use a wireless wall switch) Power wiring Connectors (to connect strips together if you need them) Aluminum channels for LEDs Miboxer K1 (rotating wireless dimmer switch) I also bought a cheap miter box with saw that let me cut the corners at 45 degrees for a nice, finished look: Miter Box with Saw It was on sale for under $10 when I bought it, but $16 isn't horrible either. The saw was easily able to cut through the aluminum channel as well as the diffuser covers. Good luck!

r/led on Reddit: Where should I place LED strips to light my entire bedroom

January 28, 2020 -

my bedroom is ~ 12' x 13' and my ceiling is slightly angled. Height is about 12'. I am not sure where exactly to place LED strips.

Should I just run them around the perimeter of the ceiling, floor, or both?

Ideally I want to use LED strips as the only light source, but I do have a LED shop light currently.

I am going to be spending most of my time in my room so I want to easily "change" my environment. For example if want to sleep make the room slightly red, if being productive make it green, etc.

I don't know if this is doable or just a bad idea overall.

I currently ordered these to just test out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0861Z4VVC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Any advice or suggestions would greatly be appreciated

For my money I’d put them on the wall where it meets the upper part of your sloped ceiling. The light will wash across the ceiling and give you a gradient. Strips are good at making an ambient base amount of light, but it’s tougher to make contrast with them. Most lighting is about creating contrast, both with intensity and color.

I would recommend checking out RGB-CCT or RGBWW strips as there are times you need a clear 'normal' light, cleaning for example. Plus I find RGB only a bit sickly and can give me headaches after a while

r/led on Reddit: LED Strip recommendations - Whole room ceiling edge lighting project

December 30, 2018 -

Hi,

My other half and I are currently in the process of redecorating and improve our Smart Home life, we've automated a lot of stuff and it dawned on us we just don't have enough lighting in the bedroom, so we're looking to free up the areas around the top edges of the wall / ceiling and put some aluminium channels / housings there with LED strips inside.

The channels I've bought are these: Link

Here's a panorama shot of some of the room, most of the stuff behind the red drawn on lines will be removed / replaced to accommodate our new lights.

Panorama Shot of the room prior to redecoration & light fixtures

I've done a bit of research and it seems that 24v LED Strips are the way to go, we're currently rocking a 6500k 1500 Lumens RGBW Smart Bulb in the middle of the room which provides a decent amount of lighting, but as the room's so large it just isn't enough.

So we're looking for the following:

24v LED Strip of 15m in length + suitable Power Supply

6500k Daylight White (RGB is not required)

At least 1000 Lumens (may not be necessary since the whole room will be lit due to the strips?)

Sizes 3528, 5050 & 5630 with 10mm width, to fit the channels I've bought.

Smart Controller, for Home Automation (dimming and Google Home On / Off via voice & Phone)

My issue is that I can't seen to find anything suitable, so I was told to give this place a go as somebody here may be able to help!

Would anyone have any recommendations, or alternatives to suggest so we can complete this project?

Thank you all in advance! :)

Awesome project! Great that you've already found out that you want to go with 24v instead of 12v! That's going to make it look a lot nicer and even. Generic RGB+CCT strip uses about 70w for 5 meters so that's not that much per channel (5 channels) but still I would advise against running it all as a long strip, the problem is that with cheap strip, the amount of copper just isn't there (even not for the 5m really) and the Amps your going to be running through it is too much. Especially since although there are 5 negative channels (one per color) there is only a single positive channel! The first part of the strip will heat up A LOT and the end of the strip will look dimmer, even when using 24v. I'd suggest splitting up the strip and keeping them as 5m parts and then having a controller per 5m part. Since you're using Domotica (I'm assuming Home Assistant) you can just link those together so they will act as one strip in software and for commands. If not, that might be something to look into. The other alternative is running wires along the strip and injecting power every 5 meter. That way you can keep it as a single strip but you're going to need a lot of wires of considerable thickness and it's generally harder to setup then the above option. I also agree with what the others are saying that 6500k is very harsh light. Normally living room lighting is somewhere between 2600K and 3000K. Personally I'm very partial to the quality of white light (CRI above 90) so don't use RGB+CCT strip because they are too much of a compromise to me. The power output and the quality for normal generic lighting just isn't there. Also it's very expensive strip (5 in 1 package version) to use, much more so than combining a RGB and separate white or CCT strip. Still, if you are set to having one 10mmx10mm channel, you are limited in options and if you don't mind (or see) low quality light, that's ok. Just make sure not to use it in a kitchen or something like that, you'll be baking your meat for days because of the wrong red colors in the light. ;) Controller wise there are several options out there. The H801 can be used, it has a ESP8266 inside which can be re-programmed to work with MQTT and Home Assistant. Be aware though that it won't support super high PWM (flicker) values but if you aren't going to film in that room, that's fine. Another option is Magic Home controllers (2 links in this topic are towards those controllers), those can be had cheap on Aliexpress and work okay, but again not super high PWM value and not very high power handling (definitely no more than a 5m low power strip). I also have my own DIY controllers I use called the QuinLED-Quad and QuinLED-Deca which can also do this stuff but it's a bit more complicated if you also have to build your own controllers during your first go at this! If you'd like more information about certain topics, I kindly invite you to read http://quinled.info . It has lots of topics including 24v, white light, RGB+CCT strips, etc.. Your main challenge is the length, if you can figure out a good plan for that, the rest should be easy. :)

I have been installing these. the phone app works. great. You can take a picture with your phone and the strip matches the color. You can also schedule it.

October 30, 2021 -

What’s the best LED Strip to run around an entire room? Wife wants to do her office with them. I know of the different brands, need some practical advice.

One thing to keep in mind is that not all led strips are flicker free. Well, the strip may be but the controller might not. This can cause flickering in video calls (since you mentioned office use). Unfortunately whether a brand or model is flicker free is difficult to know without trying it out. One of the only ones who actually markets theirs as flicker free is https://www.elgato.com/en/light-strip , but you'd have to use homebridge for HomeKit compatibility. Hue products overall have pretty terrible flicker, some less and some more.

Best is relative. Are you already in a lighting system like Nanoleaf or Philips Hue? Is best to you cheapest? Most expensive? Brightest? RGBWW? etc?

I’m looking to (finally) get LED lights around the ceiling of my room. We measured and i’m going to need a 60 foot strip. I look everywhere online, on youtube but all I find are “guides” from scams or cheap companies, or when they are legit the reviews say they are trash. Also not looking to totally gut my wallet, a budget option would be nice. Not looking for much, LEDs that can get pretty bright and dim, a good white, and a good color range. Also want them to last long and not fall off. Any and all help is appreciated

Another BTF fanboy here. Their 24volt COB strips are worth a bit extra money, and the color quality is very good. Not sure what you mean by 'color range', and scared to ask.

Avoid amazon. The 20% markup they charge is only worth it if you need something urgently. https://quinled.info/ is written by a redditor and has a buying guide

Hello Redditor’s! I am going to attempt my first home DIY lighting project. I want to put strip LEDs around the perimeter of my media room, and I would also like to put them around the perimeter of my mother’s room. I would like the ones in my media room to be able to change colors and go along with my music. The LED’s I want to put in my mom’s room will mainly be for her migraines, as green lighting is of benefit to her while having them but I’m sure she will enjoy vibing to the different light settings as well. I got on Amazon and there are so many different brands and options, it seems overwhelming. If anyone can suggest a certain brand or features that I should be looking for then it would be of great appreciation. The perimeter of my media room is 48 feet, and the perimeter of my mother’s room is 42 feet. I read several comments and it seems like some have more LEDs on them which effect brightness as well as many other factors so I don’t know where to start. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Hopefully I'm in the right place to ask this but I'm looking to surprise my gf's 12 year old daughter with a new LED setup for her bedroom . Basically just want to run strips on the ceiling outside perimeter which would be about 58" feet. It would be awesome for her to customize the show, colors and sync to music. I've read a-lot about BTF lights and the ws2812b is very appealing however I'm dumb when i comes to power requirements. I'd rather not use 3-4 outlets up just to run them . I've seen simple and cheap kits from TPLink and Govee but I don't think they are well recieved here. What would you all recommend for a setup? Thanks!

Dig2go package. Control with WLED. Easy, simple, safe. You can install the strip in a diffuser for a more elegant solution.

I got my daughter these awesome Nanoleaf strip lights for her room ceiling, and she absolutely loves them! It's so cool because she can control the lights using her phone. I think your girlfriend's daughter would really enjoy them too.

Earlier I was close to considering buying some govee led lights but I’m really skeptical of its functionality due to seeing frequent amount of bad reviews on their products but others share great reviews on it so I’m really stumped about this. Should I consider buying govees;if so then which one? If not then what other led lights would you prefer for me to purchase?

What kind of lighting do you need? A few things to consider: Are you interested in colored light? What about using for white light? During the night only, or during the day? How much sunlight do you get? Do you have other light sources? How bright do you want the light to be? Do you care if it's a single continuous strip, or if you can see the individual diodes? How would you want to control the light? Remotely? From your laptop?

get some ws2812b's or ws2811's from btf lighting. They are addressable so they can do all kinds of cool effects and patterns. btf makes some of the best and brightest led strips out there. it is worth it you will love them.

r/homeowners on Reddit: LED strip lights

February 14, 2020 -

My daughter wants LED strip lights in her bedroom along ceiling perimeter. With so many choices out there can anybody comment on particular brand to install? May be there is something better than what instantly comes up on Amazon?

I recently replaced my under cabinet lights pucks with LED strips. I went with these strips (this specific one is cool white) and mounted them on aluminum channel . These strips seem like better quality than some of the cheapo ones.

Most of the bulk 16 ft rolls on Amazon are nearly the exact same, just rebranded to whatever reseller is packing them. The Philips and other more American brands at Home Depot and such are a little more well made, but insanely marked up. The biggest concern is actually the controller and power supply. Lot of cheap controllers that are shitty made in the Amazon bundles and same goes for the power supply. Make sure the power supply is ETL or UL listed for a bit better electrical safety, but for the actual lights just get the RGBW if she wants multi color or a high density (300 to 600 lights per 16 ft) roll of straight white LEDs if no color required. Also, as someone else mentioned, get the aluminum channels. Way easier to mount, protect, etc. and with the covers on the channel it helps diffuse the light so you don't have a bunch of dots on the wall/ceiling where the lights concentrate.
