Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This year, I decided it was time to buy more permanent Christmas lights for the bay windows -- LED strips that could stay mounted year-round, because I'm old, tired, grouchy, and given the choice between seasonal light-mounting chores and being a magnificent killjoy and humbug...well, bah, and furthermore, humbug. I lined the windows with LED light strips. They were glorious, beautiful, bright. They flooded my hedges with washes of intense color. My front bedroom could now double as a rave club. Unfortunately, one very spoiled ten-year-old Siamese cat in residence found hunting the Greater Iridescent Electric Window Python an irresistible proposition. I came home to find the light strip, formerly in her favorite window, in a puddle on the bedroom floor, freshly torn down, still glowing brightly. After several minutes of laughter and sharing pictures of her "kill" with my family and friends, I remounted the strip to the window using Gorilla Tough & Clear Mounting Tape. I didn't even need to tack down the entire ~15ft. of the strip; roughly seven total feet of tape, with short gaps between, proved more than sufficient. The light strip has resisted the worst that my mighty little tan tigress (Thaigress?) can dish out. She is presently in the armchair beside it, many days later, nursing the wounds to her pride and/or dreaming of albacore and bonito flakes. She seems to regard the Amazing Technicolor Dreamsnake with new respect; anything that can survive a days-long gauntlet of attacks from a tenacious, determined cat must, in her eyes, be at least somewhat worthy of recognition. Thank you, Gorilla Tape. You saved my sad, lazy-old-man Christmas lights this year.
