Six short RGB strips already wired together on long leads, so one plug lights six shelves, six cabinet sections or the edges of a TV, all changing colour together.
A roll of LED strip is great for a long wall and awkward for a bookcase. Shelves come in short sections with gaps between, and every cut and rejoin is a chance for a dead joint. WUYXPG builds the kit the other way round: six 12-inch strips, already joined by 31-inch leads, ready to lay one per shelf.
Plug the USB adapter into a socket and all six light at once, in the same colour, changing together. The leads give each strip room to reach its own shelf, cabinet section or cubby, and the whole chain can stretch across a tall bookcase or a run of kitchen wall units.
Places the kit fits naturally:
Everything runs from the included 5V USB adapter, so the kit needs one wall socket and nothing else. The colours are RGB, dimmable, and move through the app's modes or follow music through a built-in microphone.
In a phone's Bluetooth scan, the controller may go by ELK-BLEDOM rather than WUYXPG. That is the light's controller, not a speaker. WUYXPG says to skip Bluetooth settings entirely: open duoCo StripX with Bluetooth switched on, and the strip shows up on its own within 5–10 seconds. The fixes for a controller the app cannot see help when it does not.

The kit arrives connected, and WUYXPG says so plainly: it can be used straight from the box with no disassembly. That saves the fiddliest step. The strips are directional, though, so if you unplug anything to thread it through a gap, each piece has to go back the right way round.
Hiding cables is what makes shelf lighting look planned. Run the leads down the back corner of a bookcase or along the rear edge of a cabinet where the eye does not go. The line cards hold them flat, and a lead that sits tight to wood disappears in the shadow.
For shelves, mount each strip just behind the front lip of the shelf above, facing down. The light lands on the objects rather than in your eyes. Inside glass cabinets, the top of each compartment works the same way.
Remote and app both work through cabinet doors and from across the room, so the controller can sit hidden behind the unit. Keep it away from sinks and kettles; none of the parts carry a water rating.
Most small strip kits ship an infrared remote that must point at a receiver. WUYXPG's is a 360-degree wireless 2.4G remote, so it works from any angle and through a cabinet front. It handles on/off, colours and brightness, and carries a music function for the sound-reactive modes.
The duoCo StripX app adds the rest:
| Moment | Setting |
|---|---|
| Display cabinet at dinner | Warm static colour, low brightness |
| Bookcase reading light | Pale tone, brightness up |
| Gaming shelf | Cool blue or violet, slow fade |
| Party | Mic mode, sensitivity up |
Adjustable mic sensitivity matters on shelves. A bookcase beside a speaker picks up every beat at a low setting; a cabinet across the room needs it higher. Turn it down if the strips twitch at conversation, up if they sit still through the chorus.
The remote and the app share control rather than fight over it. Set a colour on the phone, change it from the remote later, and the strips simply follow whichever was pressed last. That suits a household where one person likes tapping presets and another just wants a button by the sofa.
If the app will not connect, WUYXPG's own advice is to switch the light off and on again, or restart the phone, then open the app and wait. It is also worth closing any other light app that might be holding the controller. The duoCo StripX and Lotus Lantern notes explain how the music and timer modes differ between apps.
Six 12-inch pieces add up to 72 inches of light, about 6ft. That is small next to a room strip, and that is the point: this kit lights objects and sections, not whole walls. The comparison that matters is with other short, modular kits and with TV backlights.
Choose the WUYXPG for shelves, cabinets and displays where short, separate lights beat one long strip. Choose the HOUHUI when a TV is the main target, since its longer pieces cover a screen edge better. Choose a roll when the run is continuous.
Worth measuring and confirming:
Small kits also forgive mistakes. Six strips on a bookcase cost little effort to move if the first layout looks wrong, and nothing has been cut that cannot be undone.
The pre-wired design means no cutting, no soldering and no loose connectors on day one. For a bookcase that has sat in the dark for years, it turns shelves into a small light show in an evening. Beyond the shelves, the wider ELK-BLEDOM family adds neon rope and room strips.
No. The six strips are connected at the factory and work straight from the box. If you reconnect them, each strip must go back the right way round.
Each of the five connecting leads is 31 inches long, so neighbouring strips can sit up to about 2.6ft apart.
