I love my 5m outdoor strip. I like that these are LED, which are energy savers. I also like the fact that by using the enclosed remote control, I am able to change the color of my lights, and/or turn them on and off from inside. This will be nice during holiday time. I am currently using the clear color. This set provides a good amount of light in one strip. The only downside is that the enclosed hardware for attaching the strip to porch rails, etc, do not hold very well. Five minutes after screwing them in, some were already loosening up and coming off. This was easily fixed by using longer screws that we already have at home. This is a great way to decorate indoors, or outdoors, while providing light for safety, or festiveness.
