Re: LED strips exposed: your advice?
We regularly use those strips. Leave the enclosure on (if nothing else, it helps protect them a bit), and use zip ties to secure them. We have zip tied them straight to the frame, but I would also recommend something like these to help where you don't have something use to tie them to.

Just be careful to not tie them down too hard - you can crush the relatively fragile PCB.
