LED Light Strings

[Greatscott]

Likely not a new topic, but it is new to me, did a search and couldn't find a tread on it, this is also more of a general crawler question, and less about the electronics.

I was at a not-so local hobby store today and they had these:





They are ribbon LED strings that operate from 6 - 12VDC. For $7 I got one foot of ribbon, this equals 18 LEDs, which can be cut into 3 LED segments. They also come in blue, green, off-white, yellow, and purple (maybe a few other colors too).

Now I am wondering what to use to mount these. Rummaging through my RC parts bin, I can see a few things I can make a light bar with, but is there anything that is already made?

You can buy those on eBay for $15 for a 16' roll. Solder your leads on or buy the premade clip on leads.

Didin't know they were that cheap, thanks for the info!

Looking for ideas of how to make a bracket for them it be mounted in to make a light bar.

Kind of like this, but cheaper:

Try to get the waterproof ones from sellers in the US. Some of the China ones don't work on delivery, but it's too much of a pain to send them back.
