I have a 50", so going to run them all the way around. been one of those items I saw ages ago and wanted and completely forgotten!!

There is a couple of things to note.

You need to snap/separate the strips, you will see what I mean.

The lights only work 1 way round (and one side up) so if you plug it in and nothing, it's not broken (unless its not working all way round).

Try get it right first time when sticking on, I have to reinforce one with some tape because I got it wrong first try.

I want some, may pop instore this weekend. Good excuse to sort my desk layout too

You say that kit is good enough for a 42"?

Raymond Lin · 14 Mar 2013 at 17:38

42" should be fine, any bigger I would get the extension kit.

That's the beauty of it, get the single kit and if its not enough, get the extension.

The cables and connection are a bit fiddly but its good once it is all tucked in behind the TV

I went for 2 together on the top horizontal, and one on either side. I have 2 spare strips left, but no extension wires left sadly, so will try and source one and may put them int he AV cabinet or something

Can you set them on one colour?

londonbairn · 17 Mar 2013 at 15:24

You can yes, blame the camera phone for it appearing in two tones. I had it on disco mode last night with music on sonos, was cool

Raymond Lin · 17 Mar 2013 at 15:30

The video I posted where it cycles through the colours, you can pick anyone of those.

Frozennova · 17 Mar 2013 at 17:02

Just finished sorting mine out, now just need it to get dark to see how it looks.Had to cut a small bit off the ends of the two strips that I fitted vertically as they we're about 100mm too long for my 32" LG TV

Craigius · 19 Mar 2013 at 10:58

Im going to be looking at getting some of these with the extension kits as well.
