I put this under the edge of our porch it enhances the look of our space. The plug is weather protected so no worry there it is so nice the blue light from it I use the remote to make it a strobe affect I like the dark blue but the range in colors go from red to green to a pink but the blue light remains the one I tend to go with I like I can dim it and brighten it different modes for the effect I need overall this is perfect for us.
