Xking1.5W 12VDC Dimmable LED Mini Spotlight Jewelry Showcase Display Lights Black Shell Surface Mount with Wireless IR Dimmer (Pack-12,Cold White)

These are perfect for display cases! Very bright and they look professional. The included adhesive pads are perfect.Minus one star because they don’t pivot quite as much as I’d want. If you angle them too much they kind of just pop out so you’re a little limited as to how far you can angle these. Just keep in mind when you’re placing the lights and test if the angle you need it at is enough at that location.

My application for these is unusual, but most of what I experienced would apply to other uses. I have small video cameras mounted under a model train layout to be able to see park trains that are hidden from view. The video cameras work OK in low-light but colors and details vanish. So, I mounted these small spot lights behind the cameras to light up the trains. The double-sided tape makes it easy to mount the lights. I added one screws to each light in case the adhesive wears out; without the adhesive, it would be hard to put in the screws. At first I was concerned that the length of the power cable to each light was too short, but they ended up being perfect. I was able to mount the hub in the middle (you can plug up to 6 lights in the hub). I was able to expose the Infra Red sensor where I can easily point the remote at it. I read reviews where the remote control was messed up by TV remotes. In my setup, I have no remotes that cause such issues. You can remove the remote and just switch them off/on if you like. The remote has nice features, but is more complicated than I need. I could see it being useful to light a shadow box, a watch collection etc. You can buy extension cables if you need them, but for me the lengths were perfect. The light output is good, and the beam angle is fine for my purposes. Maybe they could be a little more "flood light" than "spot light" but if you were lighting small collectibles, you would want the narrow beam. I might solve my issue by buying 2 more lights to add tot he exiting hub. Anything negative about them? Well, if you wan tot be picky, the ball-joint mechanism that is used to let you point the spot ant what you want to light works well if the surface you want to light is generally parallel to the surface where the lights are mounted. That could be a wall across the way, or on the ceiling far enough from the subject to allow say a 45-degree, or maybe 30-degree angle. If you go less than that, you are likely to pull the base of the light out of the mounting bracket. They are made of plastic/rubber, so you just pop it back, but it means you would have a hard time lighting something from the side. Given the price and the quality, this is a nit-pick, but still it forced me to choose at least one less than perfect vantage point for them, but again , I was putting them in a small hidden area under a large table. I chose the "cool white" light because of my application. I think they look perfect.

I added two photos to this review labeled Original and Edited Contrast. My cell camera isn't that great so I tried my best to show the issue I have with these. This appears to be quality built, however, the "warm light" option isn't consistent color. You may not be able to see all three colors here even with the edited contrast so think about your eyes. You've got a black pupil, a colored cornea, and the white part of your eye. These lights for the "warm light" version looks exactly like the eye. In the very center, taking up about 10% of the light is a darker yellow color. Around that is white light halo that's about 20% of the light, then the last 70% of the light is a fade to no light calm, warm light. You have the ability to dim and brighten the light however the shades and their percentages stay the same. Kind of a bummer honestly. I would say one could probably put a colored piece of glass to help but it would more than likely just be 3 different shades of whatever color I'd choose since it's not the color saturation that's affected; it's the lights intensity. I originally bought the 4 pack Warm Lights for an acrylic display case but they're kind of too big for it. This is purely my mistake here not the company that makes them. I won't be going through the hassle of returning these since I'm not too concerned about the shading and I'm crafty and could think of another use for these. I read that other customers complain about how the remote turns on and off some of their IR appliances but it doesn't seem to affect any of mine thankfully. I just got these out of the box to test them out to see how it looks and I can say that at 100% brightness these do get warm. I only had it on for 30 minutes and it was warm to the touch but not hor as in to burn skin. I do assume though that leaving these on for hours at a time that they will in fact be hot. For how small these are, these light are super bright at 100% intensity. I tested the intensities, the strobe, flash, and the smooth feature which is a slow dimming and brightening with the option of 5 second intervals. I can't say how the other style of these lights look since I only have the Warm White ones. But I'm giving this a 3/5 stars because for the price I'm sure there are others that can do a much better job staying at a consistent light intensity. I wouldNOT recommend these to anyone. If the remote affected my appliances I would of gave this review a 1/5 stars just for the annoyance of it but I got lucky in that aspect I guess.

I really like how my first install with these lights turned out. I found them easy to install and aim, they work well for my purpose.I agree with the reviews talking about the slightly to cool color (they're probably 3000k, not 2700k was 'warm white' would imply). For many of the installations pictured in the other reviews, these lights will have a very bright hot-spot in the center due to how close they're installed, often less than a foot away. In my installation, I unscrewed the end of the lamp and removed the lens over the LED, which makes them more of a flood and gives very even light at short distance. The lens is important to keeping the LED pressed to the back of the lamp to allow for cooling, so I 3D printed up small rings the same diameter and depth as the lens, so the light shouldn't have cooling issues. I also run them at about 30% brightness.I've ordered 36 more of these lights for other areas of my basement bar, so I'm definitely a believer. I do not use the IR remote except for initial setup, as I have them plugged into a smart relay. They turn on to their previously set percentage when they're plugged in. They actually do a smooth dim-up when plugged in, so it's pretty slick.
