We recently bought my son a new gamer style desk. I got him the lighted mouse pad and mouse, but he really wanted to have the whole desk light up. This Monster LED Light Strip fit the job perfectly! It's very easy to unbox and setup. You literally peel and stick it where you need. We were able to successfully light up his desk in under 5 minutes and he loves it so much! It runs on 3 AA and 1 1.5v battery. So it'll be simple to replace when needed. The remote is simple to use and provides a variety of colors and looks. The lights are vivid and bright, both day and night! Awesome light strip.
