I'm using two lengths of SMD 5050 waterproof LED strips to supplement my DIY 10 watt multi-chip fixture. Works great as supplemental and dawn/dusk lighting. Ordered quite a few of the 5 meter reals thru eBay now with free shipping. Looks like the reels are now available for a reasonable price thru Costco. If you're not in a big rush & can wait for the eBay free shipping option, it's the best bang for your buck.
I've also ordered the lower power 3528 SMDs & higher power 5630 SMDs. The RGB versions with remote work a little differently between the 3528 & 5050 strips due to the arrangement of the 3 colours. RGB and/or single colour 5050s are probably the best bet for our application. The 5630s do not appear to be available as RGBs at this time, only a single colour of your choice. They are much brighter than the 5050s though.
