> 3 dayJust received, just installed : I have a large deck and wanted to see everywhere but keep the light softer than direct house bulbs or spotlights, found these strips. The 50 ft easily spanned my 16x30 deck, with a few feet taken off at the end for the plug part of the cord. There is a groove set under my handrail and, at the suggestion of another review, I opted for warm white AND turned them up. The deck ambiance is beautiful ! Now, since I got two of the 50 ft strips, the second was lined down the stair handrail and pointed out....POW ! No kidding these are bright ! Total proof I need to pressure wash LOL. The lights went all the way down my stairs to the ground and had enough left over to lay (facing out) across a low brick wall. You can see everything in my back yard now, even the barn glows 60 ft across the grass. My pup appreciates it definitely! Tech Aspects : These strips (not ropes) are thick, made for the outdoors for sure and were really easy to install with the supplied clips, end caps and plugs. BUT here are a couple things to think about and the manufacturer/supplier should as well....because mine are hanging down, I got another set of same style clips {100 Pack LED Strip Light Mounting Brackets, Silicon Fixed Clips with 200 Screws Included (Ideal for 10mm Wide IP67/68 Waterproof Strip Lights)}. You will need supplemental support for the weight of these strips, package came with 25/30. These others are a little softer and are a lil more stretchy than the original but worked fine... maybe you can find something closer to original. ALSO, The 1/4 screws supplied with these strip lights dont have enough bite for the clips & what youre screwing into, use 3/8 at least. Luckily, my supplemental purchase for the additional mounts had the perfect size & I used them for all mounts. The Plugs are not grounded (3 prong) so I would suggest some sort of cover for where they meet your power source. Ive tucked mine under the handrail and have them wrapped in heavy painter plastic and clipped them inside an outlet cover box (but hey, thats me). Future Thoughts : Im hoping that these last a good while because (a) theyre pretty and (b) its a buggar bending over and setting them under a handrail BUT theyre thicker than other outdoor lights Ive had in the past, so thats a point in favor AND these are reasonably enough priced that I would not have a problem purchasing them again, even with the notes above. .

> 3 dayLights are bright. Weve found that the connectors dont hold up all that well to winter weather but for the price, dont mind having to replace every 18 months or so.

> 3 dayI have used these lights since last fall and they are still working perfectly. This rope light was easy to install and is attached to a mechanical timer. If you use a dusk to dawn then you might have issues since they are so bright. They will turn off if the sensor is too close and might require a short extension cord to get the sensor further away.

> 3 dayBright, flexible, looks nice. They don’t tell you the exact dimension! They mention diameter but the cross section is not a circle, but a rectangle!! It’s flat with four sides. I think I read somewhere (wasn’t easy to find)width is 12mm, but don’t know what the height is. It appears to be 10-12 mm. Why does it matter? Two aluminum channels I bought to hide the lights and get a diffuse lighting didn’t fit. Their channel depth is 8mm which seems standard but is too low for this product so after I put the light strip in, the plastic cap of the channel doesn’t really fit. Bummer. Unless I can find another channel that fits I will return this product.

> 3 dayReally good product. Easy to I stall. Very pliable and easy to work around corners. Because its more like tape flat than round rope, its has a cleaner look. I too bought the wifi dimmer to to e down the brightness. Also, very easy to cut and cap off so you have an exact fit to the project.
