to the back of my wall mount TV yesterday. The backlighting looks very cool and materials only cost about $30. My wife likes it a lot.

I bought several strips of different colors, mostly blue and uv, for my salt water coral tank.

They worked pretty well, but the salt environment was tough on them.
