In fact, according to a study by Retrevo, 44% of the people surveyed said, “Yes, they would purchase a Kindle Fire over an Apple iPad due to the pricing difference”.

  • 18 Million Movies, TV Shows, Magazines, Songs & Books
  • Access to thousands of popular Apps and Games

The strips are popular for lighting up pantries, or under the counters in bathrooms and kitchens. The nice thing about the added color, is it not only provides great design, it’s also a terrific way to increase safety in traffic areas such as washrooms, kitchen and garages.

The remote control is a 24 button, easy to use item. The PPA OLSHARGB Home Accent Multicolor LED Lighting Kit’s Remote Control Operation features a handy infrared remote that gives you full control of the lighting strips. You can turn them on and off from a distance.

Home Accent LED Lighting Kit Remote ControlThere are actually 15 Color Schemes you can choose between, along with seven light intensities that are operational via a dimmer switch. You can also create an inviting atmosphere by simply using the preset functions.

The flash mode will cycle through each of the colors with an auto-timed feature. This mode causes the lighting to change colors quickly while flashing on and off.  There’s also a fade mode that automatically adjusts brightness in any color you select. However, go ahead and use the “All Fade” feature and have the lights auto fade with a different color for each fade cycle.

If you compare these strips to incandescent or fluorescent lights, you’ll see that they use very little energy in comparison. At non-peak times, these strips use a minimum of 1 watt per 2 feet of lighting, and at maximum they use about 10 watts per 2 feet of lighting.

Don’t worry about replacing these LEDS all the time either, as they have a lifespan of over 50,000 hours and don’t have any hazardous material such as mercury in them. They also emit very little heat.
