Adhesive is the differentiator
Third strip light I’ve bought. The first two fell down within a month. This one has been up since March, including a section on a textured wall with the clips. Music mode actually tracks the beat.

Colour, curated
Unlimited colour is a spec, not a feature. Nova ships with twelve scenes tuned by our lighting team — three whites, four ambers, three saturated accents and two slow fades. You can still pick any hex value, but you will probably never need to.
The same adhesive used in automotive trim, plus 20 clips for painted walls.
A hardware mic samples the room 20 times a second — the light follows the beat, not the bar after it.
Trim at marked points, or add a connector to reach 32.8 ft.

Bedrooms
Drop Nova to 5% amber and it becomes a floor-level guide light for a hallway or a nursery. Because it is a strip rather than a bulb, the light spreads instead of pooling — no bright hotspot at eye level.

Third strip light I’ve bought. The first two fell down within a month. This one has been up since March, including a section on a textured wall with the clips. Music mode actually tracks the beat.
The preset scenes are the best part — I use the warm white 90% of the time. The app works but takes a few taps to get to the colour wheel. Remote is faster for everyday use.
Bought for bias lighting and it works exactly as hoped. The 2700K preset matches my floor lamp. Cut two sections off for the corners and it still works fine.
Strip is great, colours are rich, install took 15 minutes. The power cable from the adapter to the controller is short, so plan your outlet. I needed an extension.
Questions
The questions our support team answers most about this product.
Yes, at the marked copper points every 3.9 inches. Cut sections cannot be reconnected without a connector.
No. The remote works out of the box. The app connects over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi directly to the controller.
3M VHB is strong. Warm the strip with a hairdryer and peel slowly to protect most painted surfaces. On fresh paint, use the included clips instead of the adhesive.
Yes — that is the most common use. Keep the controller away from the TV’s heat vents and use the clips rather than tape on a TV back panel.
