I ordered this strip and another standard (non-side view) strip. I was very happy with the warm white color of both. I find the side view ones easier to hide under shelves, cabinets, etc. Depending on the directionality of the light and the orientation you wish to mount them either strip would do well. With the side view strip I have several shelves where I routed an 1/8" slot into the underside of the shelf and the strip fits snugly in the slot. After doing that the strip is virtually invisible even at eye level or higher shelves until the light is on. The side view only comes in waterproof, and honestly on future orders I will probably order all my sets with the waterproof cover. The cover squares off the strip, whitens the color, and feels like it increases durability of the strip.
I see that these guys are now offering a hardwired power supply that is dimmable and I intend to get one to try out. I wish that every power supply they had was dimmable, as that in my mind dimming should be a standard feature of good lighting. Most of my house switches are 'smart' switches that ramp the lighting on and off (while communicating with a central controller). It gives everything a polished feel and allows light to be adjusted to the situation. The light strip itself is dimmable, which is great.
Bottom line, LEDs are the lighting of the future and these guys have some of the best selection I have seen anywhere. Throw in some Amazon shipping and this is my number one LED place to shop first.
