Nope..its the most amazing thing..it is two plastic strips of lightsabout 18"long..that are super bright..i have a smart phone and a photobucket account..but cant post pix.hereis what i am doing:iwent to lwes and got a plain stick paint stirer.got two feet if thick wall rubber tubing..took the stick and cut to the size of the led light strips..took the stick and heated it in the oven until it was warm..peeled the backing off the adhesive and stuck it on the stick..i took the stick with the leds and shoved them into the clear plastic hose..the leds has a hot and a negative leads..i then squirted silicone into each end of the hose to waterproof the leds..i let it dry for 24five hrs..put the lights on my ceiling in my apt..lit up the entire floor..maybe too bright..apologize for the long post..have lots of pix..put no way to post off my smartphone
