Endless possibilities.
I purchased the 100 foot kit. It was enough to run throughout my niece's playhouse. I cleaned off the painted wood with a terry cloth and rubbing alcohol. I was impressed with how sticky the 3M stuck onto the surface. I hope it stays on for a few years. I am more than satisfied with my purchase.
READ ONLY IF YOU PLAN ON CUTTING THE LED STRIPS TO MAKE CUSTOM PATTERNS:
Aside from this, I also bought some "T" connectors that didn't work. Make sure to look at the items you buy. RGB (Red/Green/Blue) is how the wires align on the kit. Those "T" connectors I bought were off, meaning they were not in the RGB sequence. They were RBG (Red/Blue/Green). I tried rewiring them with the wire I purchased by flipping the blue and green. That did not work. It could've been my fault or faulty hardware. On another note, make sure to buy a hook/pick from Amazon or a hardware store. You can lift the small pins from the connectors so you can slip the strip in very easily and then push the pins down to secure them, along with the plastic tab (sorry I don't have pics).
I plan on applying silicone to any exposed connectors, since the kit says it is water proof. On top of that I also used heat shrink tubing to make custom connections.
