I attached the light strip to the outside of my TV. It was enough to go across the top and about 6" down the one side. I had high hopes and thought they might look cool in my husband's new boat. As I was trying it out the remote wasn't working correctly so I thought maybe it just needed a new battery. After putting in a new battery it still didn't work. The company sent 2 more to replace the defective one. After trying them out, a second light strip stopped working. It stays one color and won't even shut off without unplugging it. Sorry to say I would not recommend the Monster light strip as they stopped working within minutes of trying them, not once but twice.
