Very nice! It beats looking at those 'normal' 1cm wide 12 inch strips.......

I was thinking Lightsabers but the LEDs are too far apart. And if you spiral wrap them, the might end up looking polka dots instead. Nevertheless, in a nutshell, its flexible copper tape with lights.
Much much better than the strip I had, which is about 4mm thick.

At about 1ish lumen over 10" it's pretty dim overall, that is about equivalent (there is no direct conversion) to what a single 5mm supper bright led pumps out...
Of course the numbers will vary but take for instance under cabinet lights, a single 20 watt halogen puck is about 330 lumens, so it would take 330 10" inch sections of this stuff (@ 1 lumen average) or about 275 feet to equal one under the cabinet puck... That is unless you use the green it's about 7 times brighter so you only need 40 feet...
I can see it being OK for accent or night light applications, though...

I'm looking for a 12" strip of LED's that are battery operated, like AA batteries. Is there anything like that out there? I'm coming up empty.
try these http://www.led-tech.de/en/Chip-On-Board-Technic/COB-Slim-Modules-c_134_141.html
they run on an 9 volt block without resistor. are small bendable
but they are only 16cm so you will need more of them but they are great. and the leds are near together.
