Ok, on a few things.
Yes they are RGB.
They are the weatherproof ones.
The one strip I used has 3M adhesive on it.

I installed them yesterday. I scuffed the bottom of the awning/gutter track and used some 3M adhesion promoter to keep the strip on the channel. I did end up drilling a hole right below the gutter that goes right in the bedroom. It is behind the awning when rolled up so even sealed up it should never see moisture. I then ran the 12V from the bedroom light switch to power the LED's. I put the remote "eye" through the hole to the outside so I can use the remote outside the trailer I used some Dicor to fill and seal the hole and left a "drip loop" for any moisture to drip off of. I also left the LED connector outside so the strip is easily replaceable if needed, I put dialectic grease in the connector to keep it from corroding.

It turned out very nice.

I'll get some pics up later.

Can you post the source you got this from, or the brand? Having 3M products vs cheap $hit makes a big difference.

I really want to get just the soft white, because I think it is easy on the eyes, how do you like your color choices?


Thank You,

Hello. I got my set off of Amazon. LED Wholesalers. You need to make sure you get the IP65 strip. This will be the strip with the LED's embedded in silicone. The IP66 will just be in a rubber sleeve and is not really meant for outdoor use. If you look at the pictures of the LED strips you will see the suttle differences that make a big difference.

Yes I do like the light colors. After I bought these I seen they have RGBW sets. Those actually have white LED's. Mine uses a setting of colors to come up with white. If you look closely it looks like a very light colored black light, but still gives off a good white color. I'll get some pics when I'm out this weekend.
