They Led strip installed easy. It need smooth surface.  We installed on the bottom of our 29 ft RV facingout. It's bright, with the options to change the brightness. The remote works great with direct sight to the box. The remote didn't come with any instructions. Not sure what it can do. There are many colors, fade jump and DIY buttons. Haven't figured it out what they do.  Thinking about getting more. We love them. Can't wait to go camping with them.
