My teenage daughter was looking for a night light and this LED strip light is exactly what she wanted. We placed it on top of the book shelf that goes almost all  the way to the ceiling but not quite so the niche that it created was perfect to just place the strip and not need to use the sticky side. The remote has a good range and the light can be controlled from my daughter’s bed that’s the opposite side of the room (it’s a small room but still). The range of colors and different options are great. My daughter favorite was a soft ambient blue that she likes to have on at night.
