LED rope/strip light

[brianb]

I'm just finishing off my lounge where I'm installing uplight coving so I'm on the lookout for a rope/strip light to sit inside,

It needs to be 17.2m min (looks like a 18m light will have to suffice) unless I can get one which I can cut down?

Any reason I can't just go for something like this as it'll never be seen?

Any advice would be great

Yes. Because it's cheap rubbish. Notwithstanding, it's traditional style LEDs which will not have the throw of the modern SMDs.

And yes, you can buy LED strips on eBay but you won't know what you are getting there may be very poor quality components and diodes used. With LED if it's cheap there is a reason and it's best to spend a little more and get a quality product. This is a very good article on the subject

Is there any chance you can get me a price Guy? (17.3m with associated gubbins)
