Good enough for most uses
I bought these to create some interesting lighting effects in my home office and bedroom. I found them easy to install using the provided clips. (I used my own screws as those provided are extremely cheap and don't seat properly on any drill bit--they appear somewhere near a Phillips 1 point but don't seat correctly and are virtually unusable). All of my lights worked just fine right out of the box.
Installations tips:
1) Get yourself some quality size #10 .5 inch screws from your hardware store.
2) Plug in the light before installing it. It will heat the plastic and make it much more flexible and easy to work with as you go along.
3) You can also use cable ties to mount the lights if you get the clear plastic variety. These work as good or better than the clips for some applications.
These are very inexpensive rope lights and look great. Reading reviews it seems their quality may be hit-or-miss but if you get a good set they're a really good value.More detail ...
