First, the service here was terrific! Milad Bonyab was so helpful when I called in a panic because I needed the order placed for next day delivery - I didn't even know what I needed! After receiving my drawing he helped piece the system together and also provided a great wiring schematic that was critical for DIYers! Thanks Milad! Anyway, These are great for our purpose, we lit up the backs of our deep shelving units; the light is bright and clean but dims way down when needed. Additionally, we painted the walls behind the shelving in contrast colors for a really super effect.
Bright Lights good color

These lights were pretty easy to install by just soldering to the solder pads. You can cut every 4 inches (or 3 LEDs). The color is warm, like I wanted. I put some above and below some cabinets. These aren't so bright that you NEED to dim them.
Easy, very bright

The lights were easy to install and are a very bright white - used for under cabinet lighting over white granite - I think warm white would look better, but overall very satisfied. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL!
Not perfect

First, installation was relatively easy. Pay attention to polarity!! Second, even though they claim you can cut it every 4 ", that is not true. I had 3 spools that in some cases were not cuttable at the 4" mark. I made it work but used a bit more material. 3rd, each end of the 5 meter length had leads soldered on the ends which was unexpected, but worked for my installation. 4th, Light is nice and was effective inside the cabinets.

1. What accessories do i need to have to make this flexible LED strip dimmable.
2. I need this in 10 ft. lengths can I just cut and re-connect this in different lengths? What accessory do I need to re connect

1. There are a couple options available that will allow you to dim this strip. We offer a 12V Inline Dimmer Switch that connects into your LED lighting system between the 12V transformer and the LED strip. Alternatively, you can use one of our dimmable drivers (instead of a regular transformer) if you prefer to use an existing 120VAC dimmer switch.
2. The strip can be cut every few inches, and you can join together several smaller pieces to make longer pieces. This can be achieved by using our strip-to-strip connector or our bending extension connector. The former is a small, straight joint giving the appearance of no gap between the two pieces of strip. The latter can bend to let you make turns in your run of LED strip. Of, if you feel comfortable soldering, you may solder together pieces of LED strip using the solder pads at each cut-point.
