I recently installed the WOBANE Under Cabinet LED Lighting Kit in my kitchen, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer. The warm white glow (2700K) adds a cozy ambiance, and the 1500lm brightness is perfect for task lighting while cooking. Here's my honest take after using it for a few weeks.
What I Love:
- Super Easy Installation: The adhesive backing is STRONG—no drilling or tools needed. I stuck them under my cabinets in minutes, and they haven’t budged. The included connectors made linking the 6 strips seamless.
- Remote Control Magic: The RF remote is a lifesaver! Dimming, timing, and even dynamic modes (hello, party lighting?) work flawlessly from across the room. I use the timer daily to auto-shutoff at bedtime.
- Versatile Placement: I’ve since added strips to my bookshelves and TV backlighting—the 12V low heat gives me peace of mind near wood and fabrics.
Minor Gripes:
- Controller Reliability: Like some reviewers, I’ve had one remote die unexpectedly after 6 months. The seller sent a replacement link (B08L4G5RSG), but it’s annoying you can’t buy just the controller.
- Adhesive Overkill: The sticky tape is almost TOO strong. Pro tip: Use aluminum channels (like Starlandled’s) with nano tape for easier adjustments—cleaning grease off bare LEDs is impossible!
Real-World Use: Waking up for midnight snacks? The dimmest setting is perfect for navigation without blinding anyone. For $100-ish, this kit outperformed my expectations, though I’d budget for backup controllers long-term. 4.5/5 stars—would buy again!
