Hi,
Replying in case your message went to people’s junk. That is where I found it.
Sounds interesting, attractive and useful. I like the outside under the rain gutter idea for many useful situations. And if LED likely low battery uses.
I don’t know what it looks like but I’ve wondered about a outdoor led strip like the ones we currently have under our kitchen cabinet. A nice yellow familiar light but from a thin long strip, more like tape. Around the gutters it would be out of site but provide great light when turned on.
