    I use it in 5 meter lengths for lighting in my shop - completely unobtrusive non flickering (except when a F***'n capacitor goes on the blink!) strip lighting. Goes beautifully under shelves.

    Technically it is terrible stuff but it will do well for small projects. Just do not expect much life or colour consistency!

    They are pretty harmless for installations like that, I've seen quite a few that have turned brittle and yellow due to the housing not being suitable for LEDs.
