Lights in a tube! what else is there, really?
These seem to be a good quality rope light, very bright, and fairly consistently bright throughout the whole length of the product (which turned out to be just over 50 feet, probably about 53-54 feet not including the power apparatus). overall, very satisfied with the build quality and the lighting quality.
As noted, the cool white is excellent for reading and high-contrast environments. I have this mounted on molding about 8 inches from the ceiling (which is 8 foot), and it fully lights the room without any trouble whatsoever. this particular color temperature is excellent for lighting in a computer room or somewhere you might be looking to neutralize the retina burning glow of ultra high contract LCD monitors and dont require absolute darkness (or if you prefer a lighted area and hate cool white CFL bulbs, which are just horribly blue tinted.)minus one star for the mounting clip design. it might be sufficient for sheetrock walls, but its a PITA for plaster with years and years of paint layers. the included screws are short and the threading is too shallow to grip when screwed in. I ended up making pilot holes using a nail and hammer, then hammering these screws in to prevent them from stripping their own holes. I suppose that may be a problem with my walls more than the design, so i digress.
the clips themselves are just OK. them seem to be made of a type of plastic that will become brittle over a period of time.
on the plus side, they do give you 50 clips, 50 screws, and a handful of frosted color zipties.last thing to note: if you are nitpicky, it is worth mentioning that you can see the additional non-LED components inside of the tubing from a fair distance indoors. this may bug some people. get a colored or frosted tube version if thats your deal.

RGB Color Changing Magic LED Strip waterproof LED With Controller and Power Supply, 2054RGB Review

I love flashing light things so this quickly caught my eye.
I bought this strip to use as lighting effects for a few bands I play in. I paid for overnight shipping in my excitement and it has been well worth it so far. Another reason I was turned on too this particular RGB LED Strip setup was the individually addressable LED capability. Since the strip operates @ 5v, I have been experimenting with creating my own Atmel based Controller so I can real-time animation control and create my own color animations not generated by the included controller. The included controller does do a lot of different animations and effects, but for my needs a synchronized application is desired and very possible with the 5v IC logic.
My only negative comment is one of the LED red elements burned out after only a few hours of use, and that's not constant use. The ICs drive the LEDs so there is no effect on the rest of the LEDs in the strip (which is great), but it does stand out like a sore thumb when the lights surrounding it are lit using Red.

I was all excited to use these lights, but 4ft of the lights stopped working after 2 days. What a dissapointment.

You've seen them in restaurants and theaters--those tubes full of lights proprietors use to mark stair edges and other potential hazards that might be fallen down or tripped over in dim light. That's not to say that Good Earth Lighting's rope lighting products can only be used in public venues--you could use them as funky accent lighting in a living room, party lighting, or to outline a path in your backyard.
The key to using these lights to full effect is mounting them securely, and everything you need in order to do this is included in the hardware kit, which contains mounting clips, cable ties, and screws. The lights themselves are extremely long-lasting--they're rated at 35,000 hours, and the heavy-duty PVC rope is an unobtrusive 3/8-inch in diameter. For longer runs, you can easily connect one set to another (up to 330 feet maximum).
The G9524CLR-I is 24 feet long, and operates at 120 volts. If you need other lengths, see the 6-, 12-, and 48-foot models (#G9506CLR-I, #G9512CLR-I, #G9548CLR-I). Note that these lights will heat up when in use--they should not be left on unattended. UL listed.--Josh Dettweiler

American DJ Mega Pixel LED 1 Meter Color Mixing Strip Review

American DJ Mega Pixel LED 1 Meter Color Mixing Strip
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the American DJ Megapixel LED light. This light exceeded my expectations by far. It is very bright and colorful. You can plug it in and let it run as long as you want since there is no duty cycle. You can select the program to run or just a single color. It has 24 DMX channels with dimming, but I don't use DMX. I also bought the handheld wired remote American DJ UC3 to control the functions. The remote is great, it allows you to select each program or single color, make it strobe anytime you want and turn it off.
I have two of these so I can put one on each speaker stand vertically, and link them together with a XLR cable so they will light up in sync. You plug them in to the electric, connect the remote to the first one, connect them together with a XLR cable. Now they will light up in sync which is very cool since they are spread apart on each speaker stand. You do not have to use the remote with these lights but it really works great! When you connect them with a XLR cable it automatically sets the second one to "slave" and it reacts the same as the first one. The first one picks up the audio so they beat with the music, the second one is just the slave.
Chauvet makes one called the Chauvet Colorbar. It has less DMX channels, no DMX dimming function and offers a footpedal remote. They are both nice lights but I am very happy with the American DJ version. You get a lot of color and cool lighting for the money. You could mount one on top of your light tree and it would work great for lighting the dancefloor. You can even stack two together if you want it even brighter. This is the coolest light I have seen in a long time.

American DJ Micro Galaxian Laser Special Effects Lighting Review

American DJ Micro Galaxian Laser Special Effects Lighting
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the American DJ Micro Galaxian red & green laser. It is the smaller version of the Galaxian laser with the same laser power output, but a smaller beam spread. It is a compact well built unit with a power switch on the back and a small fan to keep it cool. The small power cord plugs into the back of the unit and has a transformer block on the end of the cord. It comes with a remote that works great, but has an antenna to pull up if needed, which seems like old technology. The remote has 4 buttons which allows you to select auto/sound mode, blackout, color and direction of rotation. When going through the color modes you can select red, green, red/green together or red/green changing and flashing. You can select auto mode or sound mode so it will go with the music. There is also a speed control knob on the back of the laser to have the dots stop completely, move very fast or slow. The darker the room the better, but you can easily see it in any room with the lights on. I am very pleased with it. I havent tried it with fog but I know it would look great since it has 200 beams. It will work great for any DJ to use on the dancefloor, wall or ceiling. This is a great buy under $100.
PROS: It is small, bright, well built and works great. It has a remote to control it.
CONS: Transformer on cord and antenna on remote.

At first the seller appeared to be sincere and willing to replace the defective item, no action was ever taken. Amazon customer satisfaction guarantee took over. I did not receive the seller's replacement as stated from the seller and Amazon refunded the purchase price quickly.
