5V USB LED Strip Lights | Flexible Home TV Background Lighting
Add soft, adjustable lighting to any space with these 5V USB LED strip lights. Simply plug into a USB port for instant ambient lighting behind your TV, under a desk, or inside a cabinet. Choose from warm white or daylight white to match your mood.
These LED strips use SMD 3528 chips that provide bright, even illumination without generating heat. The flexible design lets you bend and shape the strip around corners and curves. A strong 3M adhesive backing makes installation quick and secure on almost any clean, dry surface.
Each strip operates on a safe 5V DC power supply, drawing power directly from any standard USB port. This makes them ideal for use with computers, laptops, power banks, or USB wall chargers. The low power consumption keeps electricity costs down while providing reliable lighting for up to 50,000 hours.
Whether you need task lighting for your workspace or accent lighting for your living room, these versatile strips come in lengths from 1 meter to 5 meters. The IP65 waterproof rating allows for use in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor covered areas.

Usage Scenario
Sarah wanted to reduce eye strain while working late at her desk. She peeled the backing off a 2-meter warm white strip and attached it to the back edge of her monitor. Within two minutes, she had a soft glow that illuminated her keyboard without glare. Now she works comfortably without turning on the harsh overhead light.
Micro Comparison

Answer: Yes, it works with any standard USB power bank that outputs 5V. This makes it portable for outdoor use.
Question: Can I connect multiple strips together?
Answer: Each strip has its own USB connector. To join strips, you would need a USB splitter or a separate power source for each strip.
Question: Is this strip dimmable?
Answer: The strip itself is not dimmable. You would need a USB dimmer controller sold separately to adjust brightness.
