Black Friday brought us a new product in the IlluminEssence line, but it is a much cheaper product than its siblings.
plughitz.live/howto
It's Black Friday, and that means some new products are available. This year, Monster has made available a new SKU in its IlluminEssence product line - a single LED strip. We've reviewed all of the other products, and expected that this new SKU would work the same way. But, after thousands of views in a few hours and dozens of comments, it was clear that we were wrong. So, we braved the crowds and headed to Walmart to purchase the last unit in our local store so we could try it out.
Unfortunately, this new SKU was definitely produced separately from the standard SKUs. The packaging is slightly different, and the manual is completely different. In this case, the product seems to be defective. We were able to power it on (by plugging it in), but could not get the included remote to work with it, even after following the pairing instructions. We also weren't able to use one of our working remotes with the new strip. There is definitely a problem and you are NOT CRAZY!

I bought these on Black Friday and returned them on that next Monday after seeing all the comments of either customer service saying it can’t be fixed or the COO is working on it. The bottom line is it was a big let down and i don’t wanna wait for them to try and figure it out. I bought another led light strip by another company for the similar price and it works great right out of the box. This experience supports the reason I don’t typically by Monster products in the first place... overpriced items that really aren’t that good in the first place.

At this point, the best solution is to avoid any of the products that don't say Smart IlluminEssence. All of those are being manufactured by the new factory, and work far better. Wal-Mart's policy is pretty lenient on the return of this product because they know there is a high defect rate.

Is it Bluetooth or it needs to be plug to work or can it work without it plugged?

Atiyeh Ali aka T It is controlled via RF, but not Bluetooth. It requires the remote to be controlled.

Is there any way you can connect multiple strips???
@PLuGHiTzLive
@PLuGHiTzLive 4 жыл бұрын
Nate Torres You can connect several strips to a single remote control. Splicing multiple strips together into a single strip is not a supported use case.

Out of the 8 boxes I bought, only one worked. I then tested the other strips with that revived and found that the receivers are the issue. So I have 8 working remotes and strips... but only one receiver

OK.... I fixed mine by taking the batteries out of the remote, reinstalling them and it worked again! The pairing didn't work after I installed these lights in a very hard-to-install place and didn't want to take them out again. I was kinda upset since they had worked on the bench just fine! I thought I had broken them somehow..... just pull the batteries out of the remote.... whouldda known?

This shipment was a direct relationship between Walmart and the factory, and it definitely seems as if the factory did not test the product on the way out the door.

Nate so Icy If you're asking about daisy chaining two strips together, no. The amount of power is enough to run a single strip. The standard product family offers a long (16.4 foot) model.
