First, figure out whether you want pure white LEDs, RGB strips (for color), or RGBW lights (for color and clean white light), then choose the brightness you want. Pro tip: RGB lights can produce white, but only if you turn all three colors to their brightest settings. While this is an approximation, it is not the same.
Think about how you want your lights to look. Depending on the nature of the roll you purchased, the color may vary from section to section, or the entire strip may have to be set to the same color. Like holiday lights, some let you program movement while others remain stationary.
As the price range changes, so do the way you control your lighting. On the budget-friendly end, most light strips are programmed via a remote. For more customization options, such as brightness, you may want app-controlled lights. You'll need Bluetooth most of the time, or you can use Wi-Fi and integrate them with your smart home devices.
In addition to lights, you'll need a few supplies. To connect LED strips without soldering, you need solderless clips or connectors. These can connect two strips or connect one strip to the wiring. This wiring or low-voltage cable will in turn connect the strip to 120-volt AC power, which then converts to 12-volt DC power. To diffuse your light, you can opt for LED string light channels. Be sure to measure how long your lights will take so you don't buy enough of the light strip rolls and don't have too much left over. Some people find it helpful to draw a diagram depicting their lights, connection points, power sources, and outlets.
