IMHO, you can pay $50 for 16' of the double-density or $8 for the single and lay 2 strips side/side. Somewhere i saw that the 5050 led is more efficient, but I'm not an expert.

You can cut these every 2" and solder new leads to them (or buy a $6 connector.)

I'm not selling these, but i am excited. I've been watching LED's for a long time for RV's and boats & this is the first really flexible and economical application I've found. I'm going to wrap them in loops inside a metal shade 110v reading lamp to convert it to 12v. Also going to lay multiple strips in the recess for the ceiling fluorescents to convert them. Having too much fun!

Also looking at the color-changing ones for party time. Have emailed the vendor to see if the controller is 12v.
