💡 Armacost Lighting 133210 Professional 8.2ft LED Strip Light with 2700k Warm White Hue Review

First experiences with LED strips. Overwhelmingly positive experience. 2700K is very warm, I think in my case it would be better to go to 3000K.

The strip is very narrow which makes placement easier, but when you solder the wiring it can get tight. The distance between the solder joints is about 18 inches, which can be annoying.

The project was to replace a long line of fluorescent lights that indirectly lit my contemporary mid-century ceiling. (I used some of this to make some vanity lighting in the laundry room in the past.) I would never try that again. For a base cabinet this works fine as long as you have room to place the transformer! But for this great work, some unexpected problems arose. First, it is very…
