Be careful though, it's near the upper rule-legal limit for total wattage. The rule is 21W for the 4 slot crio solenoid breakout, and this runs 20 mA * 100 * 12V = 24W. You can trim leds off the end to make it match whatever available wattage you have. It's bright as all get-out. You can see one here:

(it's much brighter than shown in the photograph)

We used very similar LED strips this year and last. We've generally run them directly off of the Power Distribution Board, or through a Spike if we wanted to be able to trigger them on or off.
