Ken,
Thats <$20 per 16 feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!; thats why so many of us changed everything to LED's. The LED strips come with adhesive backing, so you just clean the pvc and apply it to the pvc pipe. When doing the wiring on motorhomes or motorcycles, I use remote control <$6, that way you don't have to run wires all over the place to turn them on. Just a littly fob.
IP65 & IP68 are 2 different types of silicon covering for led strips(and ather things) Most of us use IP65 for general purpose lighting that may be exposed. If you put led's in fixtures or up in coves, you don't need anything on the LED strips IP68 is $40-50 PER 16 feet, but it's what I use outside.
Superbrightleds.com has an excellent site that explains all the different types of led's and waterproofing. When I first started some years ago, I purchased everything from them. MY first led's were the 3528's & cost about $10 per foot! 3528 are now < $7 PER 16 FT
Over the years I've posted lots of pictures of LED's on this forum
