Rank #2 in Best LED Strip Lights: 10 Ranked, and the Wattage That Doesn't Add Up
phopollo 30m LED Strip Lights (15M x 2), App and Remote Control
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
phopollo's 30m LED strip is the runner-up in this guide, and it is the cheapest way onto this page to cover 30 metres of wall: £14.39, split as two 15-metre reels (15Mx2), with a 24-key remote and app control, Bluetooth, RGB, indoor use only. It arrives as one pack.
Its place near the top comes from what the strip is rather than from what a badge claims: the listing carries no wattage figure at all, so there is no power number here to reconcile or contradict. The numbers it does give disagree with each other in two places — the fixture features field says Cordless while the power and plug description says AC, and the Number of Items field says 1 while the product name sells two 15-metre reels. The 4.3 rating from 18,171 ratings is the other number worth noting. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any test of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Absolutely so pleased with this product. So easy to install and setup. I initially placed these lights in the wrong place and I thought by removing them and starting again might break them but no! They withstood the pressure of replacement fantastically. I've had them for 3 months now, using them for hours every day and they look beautiful!!! X”
Verified purchase“Durable, colorful, brightness just perfect”

Questions people ask
How long is the phopollo 30m LED strip?
The item length field says 30 metres and the product name says 15Mx2, so it is sold as two 15-metre reels, even though the Number of Items field still says 1.
Does the listing say how much power it draws?
No. There is no wattage figure on the phopollo listing; the power and plug description only says AC, and the name says plug in.
Is it battery powered?
The fixture features field says Cordless, but the power and plug description says AC and the name says plug in, so treat the Cordless label as a listing quirk rather than a battery claim.
How is the phopollo 30m strip controlled?
By app and by the included 24-key remote, per the bullets — controller type is listed as app control and remote control, with Bluetooth as the connectivity technology.

No. The indoor outdoor usage field says Indoor and the water resistance level says Not Water Resistant.
What does it cost and how is it rated?
£14.39, rated 4.3 from 18,171 ratings at the time of writing.
