I purchase two rolls of these specifically for lighting under the rail of a poker table I was building. I cut the second strip at the first spot that I could cut the strip according to Govee. I used the pre-installed connectors to add that section to the first strip and it works really well. Occasionally I have to update the length to get that last section to respond to app control.
I was left with about 14ft of the second roll and another power supply/controller. I wanted to use the rest considering these LED lights were $100 when I purchased them. I bought some 4 pin connectors here on amazon and soldered one to the strip figuring I'd use that remaining LED tape somewhere. I ended up putting some on the back of my monitor. Again, I had about 3-4 feet left over. I wanted to cut that and add it to each of my speaker stands. I soldered everything up and tested, it worked great. When I installed and added 12' of extension, the last section was messed up. The LEDs were flashing and colors were off. Some sections didn't respond at all. I'm thinking something internally got messed up from installing. I ended up throwing away the speaker stand sections.
I understand not everyone is going to be using this product like I attempted to, and at the current price, these are a great buy. I use Govee can lights in my office as well and I've created a macro in the app so I can press one thing and all the office lighting comes on. If you're on the fence, dont be. My monitor is two feet away from the wall and they light up the wall great, as you can see in the pic. They're bright and can have custom lighting chases and color changes. very cool.
