Good price on a 16' RGB 5050 lighting kit at $9.

I've not seen cheaper for a full kit with power supply. Coupon works to discount multiple kits if needed. I used RGB 5050 lighting for my JBL CBT70J-1 speaker lighting, and for lighting above my kitchen cabinets, and for lighting the bunkbed area for my kids in their bedroom.

Lots of uses. Cut to preferred length in 4" segments. Works with lots of different RGB controllers if you want a more advanced controller.

The thread where I documented my speaker lighting work, and solicited opinions on controllers - etc.

I will be looking at that tonight. I need to backlight my TV so I need to make 4 bends. Am I missing something or does this not not come with pieces for that?

PS I didn’t know you frequented [H]ardforum lol. Been years since I’ve been on that site. May need to revisit it too..

You’ll have to buy 90* corners from amazon for that purpose. They are inexpensive — something like this.

Trouble free type that pierces the casing and makes the connection - think snap on - no headache.

Cheaper style you have to manually strip first

Yeah I spend about as much time on hardforum as I do here. Too bad the main site is now mothballed. The forum is still plenty active though.
