We needed a 30 foot strip to run through a routed groove in my desk. I was concerned about the flexibility of these as well as the brightness and it's ability to shine through diffused epoxy resin. These were super easy to use. I did not test the adhesive, for I used superglue to hold it in place, but the material appears strong. The brightness is higher than other strips I've purchased in the past. The remote control works from several meters away, without having to wave it around in the air looking for a good remote signal. The colors are also pretty accurate. Blues are blue, purples are purple, etc. Would def recommend for the money!
