Have a look at NTE Electronics' part# 69-36W-WR. 5 meter reel Locally 5M spool with connector $49.19 plus tax n tip. Likely cheeeeper on Ebay. Stickytape on the back, clear coating on the front, warm white. Cuttable in sections. I'm gonna put them under my cabinets in place of the current truck taillight fixtures and see how they do.

Johnny, I have them in my coach as indirect lighting. I bought them on ebay for about $15.00 per reel and really like them. I did not use a connector, I just wired them direct. I have used the warm white in my coach and I am going to put a cooler white strip under the awning for outside use. I think you'll really like them but it might not hurt to shop around on price. Just my opinion.

Not sure if that link is to the warm white or cool white.

Who is your local distributor? Newark shows the NTE at 105 CDN$

Local outlet is Ack Electronics www.acksupply.com
Owner is third generation, Steve Ackerson. His granddaddy started the company in Birmingspam many years ago. They closed the mother ship over there last fall. I have to wonder how long it will survive here. Parts houses are a dying breed unfortunately.
