    These are the last ones I ordered. I guess they’re more like $20 but still not a bad deal for 16’ of lights. They’re marked along the strip in increments where they can be cut to the size you need too.

    Do you just run them on a timer ?...or do they have programmable on/off settings?

    Any issue with the adhesive holding after that length of time?

    I just turn them on when I need to see in the cage. My room has a window that provides a photoperiod for all the critters.

    The strips installed in the routered grooves in my AP cages have held tight for almost 4yrs no problem. The rest of the strips I use are sealed to the cage with lexel sealant, that stuff is tougher than nails once it’s cured
