We had shelving built on both sides of our fireplace in a room addition built in 1992, but never had any good results with lighting them up. Not a lot was available at that time so we have used track lighting to light the shelves these past 30 years, but it did nothing to showcase the beautiful oak shelves or their contents until our son purchased this lighting in his home recently. We were so impressed with the look he achieved and even more so with the fact that the lighting could be cut and there were many connectors available for nearly any application a person would need. After contemplating our need to light up a LARGE area of shelving on each side of our fireplace my husband purchased the appropriate lighting lengths, connectors, transformers and remotes and we were on our way. The lighting is dimmable and has multiple choices on the remotes and the adhesive stuck perfectly and the light strips integrated perfectly into our shelving area.It is without a doubt one of the greatest improvements we have added to our home and certainly to our family room and shelving. I love changing the brightness levels, the remote is fabulous and so easy to understand and use. The lighting is beyond compare and has lit our shelves so beautifully. EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING on the shelves is illuminated so perfectly, it's almost as if we have installed new shelving. There is not ONE negative thing we can say about this lighting application only incredible accolades! It was so inexpensive and we did a large area of lighting! We are LOVING it and know you will too. Please don't hesitate to buy this product. It is more than we could have ever hoped for!
