Premier Lumen8 12 ft LED Light Rope vs USB RGB LED Strip Light

Buy the Premier Lumen8 if you want a long run with a remote, preset colors and stick-on mounting for a room or desk. Buy the TurboTech strip if you mainly want a TV or monitor backlight and prefer a simple inline controller. The Lumen8 offers more control and a longer strip; the TurboTech strip is the plainer, more purpose-built backlight. Owners of USB strips in this class report the adhesive is the weak point on both, so plan on clips or a re-tape.

  • Choose the Premier Lumen8 if you want a 12 ft run with a remote, 16 colors and 4 mood settings for a room, shelf or desk.
  • Choose the TurboTech strip if you want a simple USB backlight for a TV or monitor and do not need a remote.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a TV backlight?
The TurboTech strip. It is designed for TV and monitor backlighting and offers white and warm white, which suits bias lighting better than a color-only strip.
Which has more control?
The Premier Lumen8. It adds a remote with up to 26 ft range, 16 colors and 4 mood settings. The TurboTech strip relies on an inline controller.
Which covers a bigger area?
The Lumen8 gives 12 ft in one run. The TurboTech strip comes in 1 m or 5 m, so the 5 m option covers more than the Lumen8.
Do either work outdoors?
No. Both are indoor products, and the TurboTech strip is explicitly non-waterproof.
Is the TurboTech strip worth stepping up to over the Lumen8?
Only if TV or monitor backlighting is the main job. For general room lighting and remote control, the Lumen8 does more.
How do they attach?
Both use self-adhesive backing. On USB strips in this class the adhesive is often the first thing to fail, so add clips if you need a permanent run.
