Need a new LED strip for our awning (again)

water proof LED strips in any color you want on Amazon

i just bought a 'cool white' aka 'white light' water proof strip for $18.99
warm white is Yellow color, day light, is bright light

some 'cool white' are bluish, terrible color

the superbright Brand.. the cool white SMD 5050 300 led 16.4ft roll is white light

but you can get green or red or bright blue, or RGB that does multi color patterns, or just plain white light

it is important, that you clean the spot on the awning tube and stick the strip directly on the tube using the self stick backing
the metal awning tube becomes the heat sink for the light strip
do NOT use double sided sticky tape, 3m tape or foam tape, to hold the strip
that insulates the strip from the awning tube, and it leds over heat

Warm White $17.99 water proof

LED strips are the only type of LEDs I've had problems with like the OP. I'm on my second 5M awning strip after the first got to where half were not working in less than 200 hours of use. I've tried using them as night lights under the bathroom cabinets and I'm on the fourth strip but they have lasted closer to 800 hours before half are no longer working. Fortunately I used panels when I rebuilt my florescent lights.
PS: they are water proof.

i used the superbright 5050 SMD cool white 300 LED
when i did fluorescent conversion over 2yrs ago
the small 18w Fl over the kitchen sink got (2) strips,
it is almost never turn off, it is mostly on 24/7
and every LED is still on (hey they may die tomorrow)

the light over my left shoulder gets used about avg of 10hrs a day , 3 strips
(1) LED has gone out, im going to add another strip to help these aging eyes
(4) other fixtures (2) 30w size (2) 18w size all work perfectly with the strip LEDs, all of them get used on/off thru out the evening or night
(6) FIXTURES total

all these lights have thousands of hours of use, the kitchen light over 14,000 hours

guess i'm one of the lucky ones,

TOUCH WITH FINGER ANY LED BULB

If you yell "----" and jerk your finger away, the emitter is running too hot and os doomed to an early grave
