We have something like that, but a lot brighter and a longer life span. $35.00 per half meter is what we sell them for. We have red, white and blue in stock. How many would you like?

thanks but, i need quite a few feet, i sadly would prefer an inferior product to save the money due to the amount i need around 18-20ft worth, roughly.

Any other options?

The stuff Installerz is talking about is well worth the money. I am sure we could work out a deal if you buy quantities. I used a ton of it in my showcar and people couldn't stop talking about it!

Sorry I don't have a suggestion for you but I'm intrigued, what are you building?

a deal would be good, and thats a very nice set up you have, what i am doing is under lighting parts of my bike as shown here:
and no im not going to let it look tacky when im done, every bit of light will be hidden only leaving the outer glowing effect show off.

EDIT EDIT: I did some rough measurements i need:
roughly 10" total

Ooooh...that sounds pretty sweet. You will need about 10 strips of it. You can cut the strips down too every third LED and customize it that way. Its very flexible and extremely bright as Installerz said. I have a project lined up with a nice bike in March so it looks like we'll be doing a few of them for DTP hopefully.

to save coast i figured why not just use a couple bright light bulbs, same effect just much cheaper. and im down to 10ft, hope your install goes as well as mine, would you know where i could get a small controller for them to make them do an auto fader effect(dim from high to low and back up) ?

I think you can get a dimmer (regulator) and dim them with that. I will look into it.

I believe that controller is designed to do what you want but with Varads LED's. Shouldn't be too much of a different set-up and I would think that's a possibility that it would work.
I was directing the question to Orgasm Donor really, I'm sure he's worked with the Varad line before..

I have worked with Varad but ever since we got MicraLED in, Varad is kind of...well, extremely low end. And the Varad pricing is more than MicraLED too.

But the controller I was looking at is made by a different company. Still no word on it.
