Turn a plain room into a colour-changing lounge in a single evening with LED MONTREAL's 12V 5M IP20 High Output RGB 5050 LED Strip Kit - 30 LEDs/M. It's the indoor kit for anyone browsing LED strip lights, RGB LED light strips, colour LED tape or an all-in-one LED strip kit: a 5-metre reel of RGB tape, its plug-in power supply, and an IR remote paired with a small receiver, packed together so nothing has to be matched or calculated. Tuck it under kitchen cabinets, behind a TV or a headboard, along a bookcase, around a games-room ceiling or inside bar shelving, then simply plug it in.

The 5050 RGB chips each house a red, green and blue emitter, so the tape can mix a large palette of colours, and the high-output layout of 30 LEDs per metre gives a vivid, saturated glow. It runs on 12V DC low voltage, a very common voltage for LED tape and an easy one to work with. The strip is the IP20 uncoated version, with no protective coating, made for dry indoor spaces. The remote lets you hold a solid colour or launch flash, strobe, fade and smooth-change patterns at the speed you choose. RGB alone never mixes into a true white, so if you need white light for tasks too, an RGBW strip is the better tool.

In Canadian homes, it's a favourite for basement rec rooms, home theatres, bedrooms, kids' rooms, home offices and gaming corners, while small businesses use it to add colour to display shelving, reception desks, bars, salons and boutique windows. Because the IP20 strip has no moisture protection, keep it away from bathrooms, laundry rooms, exterior soffits and any spot with condensation; for those places, look at the waterproof edition instead. Order SKU 1R30X0K-IP20 and give your indoor LED lighting a burst of colour tonight.

A complete kit for dry indoor spaces
Open the box and you have everything for one run of colour: the RGB LED tape on its reel, the controller with its infrared receiver, the remote and its battery, and a plug-in power supply whose low-voltage lead ends in a DC connector that clicks into the controller. There is no driver to size and no wiring inside the wall; the whole kit works from a regular outlet. The strip is wired for RGB, so the supplied colour controller always sits between the power supply and the tape.

Colours, effects and the infrared remote
Red, green and blue are combined inside every 5050 chip, and the controller blends them into solid colours or moving effects, from a gentle fade or a smooth colour cycle to flash and strobe, with a speed setting for the animated modes. The receiver listens for the remote's infrared signal, so it has to stay in view of where you'll point the remote; just under a cabinet lip or on top of a bookcase works well. If you want a white light for tasks as well as colour for mood, plan an RGBW strip instead, since RGB alone can't produce a true white.

Installation tips
Dry-fit the layout first, then cut the tape only at the printed cut marks. The strip bends up and down easily but resists bending sideways, so at an inside corner or around an obstacle, solder a short RGB extension or fit a clip-on connector made for uncoated strips. The self-adhesive back is meant for clean, non-glossy metal and holds poorly on lacquered or high-gloss wood, so on cabinets and shelves, stick the tape into an aluminum profile first and fasten the profile instead. That also hides the individual dots and gives a smoother line of light, especially on shiny kitchen finishes where every hotspot shows.

Ideas, and one limit
Under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting, TV backlighting, headboards, bookcases, cove ceilings, gaming setups, bar shelving, boutique displays and salon mirrors are all great homes for this kit. Keep it to dry rooms only: for a bathroom, a covered patio or a damp basement corner, the waterproof version of this kit is the right choice. When planning, put the outlet, the power supply and the receiver at the start of the run, where the indoor LED strip begins.
