Bob,
You've "got plans to
use about 100 feet of these strips in an overhaul
of room and counter lighting in (your) kitchen."
How about sharing the plans? How does the brightness compare to the thin tube 5 to 10 watt fluorescents and starters that I constantly have to replace?

I've already stuck a couple of strips on
the underside of one cabinet to replace a
single 12W tube lamp. Illumination
is very nice. Light is nearly 'flat'
i.e. shadow free.
40+ years ago, Dad put canister lamps for
general lighting over the counters and an
array of flourescent tubes for work lights.
One strip of lamps is not enough but two
side-by-side seem adequate. Sticking these
strips up on the bottom of cabinets in
straight lines and then wiring them up is
problematic. I'm building twin-row strip lamps
on pieces of Formica about 1.5" wide.
Complete assemblies of pre-wired lamps on thin,
rigid substrates will make installation MUCH
easier. There are decorative features in the
woodwork that minimizes direct visibility of the leds.
I'm planning to replace the canister lamps
with a similar process. There will be another
array of accent lights to illuminate the ceiling
over the cabinets. Hence, a whole bunch of LEDs!
