Zowie! I now have the best reading-in-bed lights I've ever had, or heard of.
When I was buying the LED strips on eBay, I noted that there were (at least) two different kinds: the ones with 300 LEDs in five meters, and similar ones, but waterproof, with 600 LEDs in five meters. I ordered both.
Just now I mounted a strip of the 600-LED-per-five-meters all the way across the bottom of the frame of the utterly purposeless window in the back of the motor home. As I said, this turns out to be the best reading-light I've ever used anywhere. It's bright, it's diffuse, and it's very white. Runs cool, too. It's about eight inches above the bed and shines directly out from the rear-wall surface.
The particular strip I used is waterproof and could be used for outside lighting, though I'll probably not use it there. I haven't used half the $12 roll yet.
Highly reommended.
