Last year the strip I installed under the gutter ( 6 or so years ago?) partially failed… the forward 1/3 failed to light. I got another strip , this time the kind that looks more like a cob led. That is, looking like one continual led instead of discrete elements. Of course if you look closely you can see the led elements, but the effect is of one continuous strip.
Has the same thick clear coating as the previous. Making it waterproof they say. But I noticed when I took the old one off, water gets into it from the backside, the adhesive side. So I expect the same for this one. Mind you the van is outside all year round, and it is wet in the seasons not called summer 🙂
Pic below is in daylight and the strip on. It’s really not noticeable at all when it’s off.
And at dusk.
Controlled by the same touch to dim switches as before. Two others do the inside led strips, got one left as spare for something.
It’s a handy mod when camping.
