I've been using 5050 led strips under the bathroom cabinets for 5+ years with poor results... many of the led stop working. They get left on for aprox 10 hours 180 nights/year so 1800 hours/year. Within two years so many have stopped working I have to change them out. I'm having much the same results with the 5M strip under my awning although not even close to 200 hours of use and they were waterproof.
I cannot find any strips rated 8-24V... unlike the G4's I use in the ceiling. I'm not saying to not try it, but use a .......snap connector for the power so you can replace easily. Need to change mine out before we leave this month.
Nine months ago I bought expensive 120V led rope lights for above the house kitchen cabinets... having very poor results with 80 percent of the leds no longer working.... less than 1800 hours on them.:M
I've tried to find the old style non led rope lights that seem to last for ever without success.
