Question:
I want to use this as indirect lighting in off grid cabin. Two 32’ walls. 16’ apart. Do you think this will provide enough lighting to illuminate space? How many watts are used by each 12 volt DC STRIP? Using 12 volt solar battery charged power at night so concerned about watt hours. Please advise to email

Hey Kent, I would actually recommend going with the Optronics Flexible LED Light Strip # UCL90CB because we have seen just how bright this can light things up which you can see in the attached pictures. I am sure the part # DIA76QR is solid too but we just haven't seen it in use quite like we have seen the Optronics. The power draw is 2.7 amps at 12 volts which is 32.4 watts.
