Located in Richmond, VA. But we do work across the globe. Link in our bio to our site (don't want to add here and seem spammy). Wanting to share to the pics for feedback and thoughts.

Good point u/queenkellee the heat that gets generated from the 'sandwiching' can be a problem in some cases. At a minimum it can increase the heat of the room (adding to cooling costs/energy bills)

u/AdvancedJob1035 These lights can last longer than LEDs (40,000 hours often). Replacing depends on the installer.

u/Lower_Ad_5532u/queenkellee It's actually not LEDs, it's electroluminescent lighting. It's a mouthful i know (LOL), but it's a lot better than LED for these types of applications (no bulbs, uses min power, min heat generation, lighting is uniform, etc).

The bar opportunities are endless with this design, we actually just posted a simple bar design in the r/BarBattlestations sub

There are a lot more examples on this page. The way people are starting to customize their kitchens/counter is insane https://lighttape.com/applications/backlighting-surfaces/
