At first I was skeptical about the brightness of the LED strip. Most of the promises are coated. But in this case I was really pleasantly surprised. Have installed as indirect lighting for my living room (20 square meters), two of these strips. On Covering moldings glued, mounted in a distance of about 4 cm to the ceiling to ceiling beams, provides only the reflection of my white ceiling enough brightness to be able to even read a newspaper. As I said, as indirect lighting. Have additionally dimmer upstream controller, because otherwise it's too bright when watching TV. And the emitted light is really warm white, similar to normal light bulbs. Thoroughly recommended. Price - performance = Top
