If you are concerned dust or grease sticking to the strip cover it up with 3M transparent packaging tape.

I give Hitlights no quarter because they even tucked a warranty card into the package, so indeed a real person viewed the open package and still couldn't be bothered to say, "wait a minute

great quality strip, sweet nice packaging

Our project with a 60watt power supply, this package of hitlights, connectors and a dimmer switch was well under 100 bucks

Great packaging and attention to detail

Excellent packaging, easy to use, fair price.

I staggered alternate rows by one LED so as to avoid a pattern of hotspots

We use them for practically all our under-cabinet lighting as well as in-cabinet lighting
