I used this near the bottom of the master bath vanity for a night-lite.  It puts out an orange glow on the floor and the color looks very good on the medium brown wood floor.  It has been installed since last year with no problems.  I suspect that it is a bit fragile because the first one that came only lit up half of the string.  It should have been shipped in a box -- not an envelope.  The seller promptly replaced it (with another one shipped in an envelope).  The rope light came with some mounting clips, but not enough of them to hold this securely.  Since I also had the clips from the first rope light, I was able to install this without much sagging.  I am just hoping that my wife does not slam the vacuum cleaner into it.
