Customer Reviews
Good quality excellent light performance
I'm so glad I choose you LED lighting strips for my recently installed acoustic panels. I was very tempted to purchase a cheaper alternative at half the price, until I was convinced your product was superior in both quality and aesthetically. The whole thing looks amazing when switched on and was very easy to install and connect to the App. I would have given this a 5 Star+ rating had the strip light been suitable for a 15mm gap without the need to fit the clips.
Good quality really happy
Great accent lighting to give a "nothing area" some interesting.
These lights are absolutely superb! I am naturally a sceptic, however, I can assure any reader that these lights and controls are architecturally beautiful, simple to install and add a touch of 5 star hotel luxury to any installation.
Really impressed,
So easy to install, easy to cut and fits perfectly in 13mm acoustic walling
Easy pairs with remote and totally recommend the remote for ease of operating
Really bright warm white and dimmer works really well
Can’t really speak for durability as only just installed.
My only improvement would be to offer a cool white option or colour for acoustic walling, seem to go more warm white the dimmer the lights are lowered
Shaun the most helpful guy and prompt response of emails. Bought this product a year ago, emailed Shaun to say that it was not lighting up fully - sent photos and he very quickly replied to say a replacement was on it`s way.
Would absolutely recommend this product and company.
Love these wall panel lights, they blend strength in virtually undetectable unless they are on. Worth mentioning that when you trim to size, in the box there are black end pieces to cover over the exposed end and reduce light loss. Very happy
Bought after reading other reviews. Product was real easy to fit without any knowledge of electrics & looks amazing in the wall as it can't be seen when switched off. Easy to connect to Alexa & operates great. Recommend it to anyone lighting a panelled wall
Great!
