I used this light rope in my kitchen, under and above my cabinets. The screws are short, and there is a 'trench' which prevents the screw from going deeper into the surface. I had to replace them in a couple of spots over my sink, because the little ones just wouldn't hold.The bracket doesn't do a great job of holding the light, even when I squeezed it tighter. It did help that cable ties are provided, which I put under the bracket when I screwed it in.Due to their nature, the lights are not highly flexible, so you may need to allow a little extra for curves. Fifty feet was more than adequate for my needs.The plug end is on the far right [by the knife block] and runs up alongside the refrigerator, back over top of the cabinets, to plug into an Alexa-controlled mini smart plug behind the mixer. The light rope does not have a switch on it, so this is the solution that works for me.Overall, it was a lot of work to put them up [and I cut channels into the cabinet overhangs for a smooth transition], but I'm satisfied with the light output.Overall beautiful Ambiance! But the screws that come with this product are too short to push through bracket and mount. had to buy loner screws. The zip ties snapped very easily and will have to buy thicker ones. The brightness and warmth look just like the photo and we applied it under our porch. Make sure to measure it is wider than 0.39 inches, once it is in the bracket on top of round screws it could pop out as far as 1/2 inch or more measure you patio ledge first. It does not change color like the box appears to advertiseHad an idea to make a Death Star wall panel for my office at work. These lights were perfect for the look I wanted.I've been wanting to try these to see how well they hold up outdoors and to see how well they can be worked with. I'm pretty happy with the way they look and how close to real neon they look. Now I want to make more projects using them. Will purchase!I saw in someone else's review a snowflake that they made, and I made one for myself. It was easy and awesome to see on my barn.The LED Strip itself is awesome. The package does not come with near enough brackets to mount it properly though.Used on car port to light parking area. Little harder to put up than expected. Wife required they be straight.
