I've been toying a lot with this recently.

A tip for anyone that's interested, you can order a compatible LED strip from Ali Express for much cheaper than Amazon, though you're going to wait several weeks. For example, do a search for WS2815 LED Strips and compare.

BTW, if you're doing just single color check out COB LED strips, they're pretty cool with the uniform lighting over the strip. Get them in 24v to avoid voltage drop.

LED Strips are lots of fun to play with and pretty easy to chop up, power and control.

Or look at the SK6812 LED strips. You'll get RGBW, which is perfect for cool looking task lighting

I was just looking at these today - there are three variants with different degrees of white, so might need to check which you are ordering. If they are going to be outside you probably need the IP65 or IP67 rated variants. If you look around on aliexpress you can find both black and white colored strips.

I got started down the rabbit hole when I saw ads for permanent light fixtures for housing. The idea is you install the lights once and then you can use the color changing ability to create appropriate displays for different holidays throughout the year.

I got RGBCCT lights that give me a bunch of control over the white temperature, they're quite nice!
