PRODUCT REVIEW
Sidewinder™ LED Flex Strip for D65 Bias Lighting
★★★★★
Convenient for lighting from complex surfaces
I bought two of these, and one is being used in a traditional bias lighting capacity, while the other is attached to the bottom of a ledge with a rather complex and weird geometry. Both of them provide beautiful light and work great. I find that one or two strips work with a cheap wall-wart power supply just as well as the fancy one from Waveform, at least to my untrained eye. The only nitpick I have is that the double-sided tape is a bit cantankerous, and tends to let go if you make a 90° turn too close to the end of the strip, but this can be worked around. Overall, I find these to be great. I was a little unsure whether the 600 lumens per meter would be adequate, but I find that I am not disappointed: the distribution of the light over a distance provides illumination comparable to what a single light bulb with nearly triple the rated lumen output could do in the same space."
