Great value! Easy setup
I was looking for a permanent solution to Christmas lights, and I think I found it. These lights are water resistant. Even though I am in Arizona, we see little rain, these should hold up well. The 3m sticky back is great for holding the lights in place, but I would recommend a coax staple of some type to reinforce them. Again living in Arizona, I can see this adhesive wearing out and getting soft in the summer. I mounted to strip to see how I wanted them for Christmas lights, one strip behind the facia board and one in front. I will be mounting them in front under the lip of the roof. I would like to add more behind the facia board though because they allow for a more subtle illumination that would be great for other times of the year. I left these on for quite a while and the temp of the power supply was warm, so I would consider putting a timer switch if some type, or remember to unplug or turn off during the day. I wouldn’t leave them on constantly unless I had a better power supply. I would say the one downside would be the power supply, because of this you can only have 2-16ft strands running off of one power supply. I would not try to connect more than the two strips to one PS. If you are using these for Christmas or other, where you will be using lots of strands, you may have to run extension cords and such to make it to all power supples. Their is a picture on here already of the type of staple you can use to secure the light strips and power cords to the back of the facia. All in all I am pretty satisfied with this product and will be buying more in the future to spruce up my backyard lighting, and add some other lighting effects around the house. :::UPDATE: The lights are looking great, and the temperature of the power supply is not an issue. If I am going to leave them on extended periods of time I just turn the brightness down. Checked on my power supplies and they were cool to the touch. I would also say, lay out and plan ahead on where you need to hook up power and how the corner bends will work, to make sure the polarity lines up if you are using L connectors. I have probably a 6-8ft strip that I had to cut off and take down and redo. The good news is though, I can always use the extra strip somewhere less as long as I have a solderless connector. So really there is minimal wasted product. I just have a lot leftover, but I will use it upVer másVer menos
