Read reviews and knew chance of channel and cover wasn't a spotless solution but didn't want to spend a ton of money. Plus depends on spacing of leds. I had a govee led string and they are spaced father apart then some other leds. Hardest part was mounting clips at ceiling/wall area where I installed leds due to drywall imperfections @ ceiling (nothing is flat and straight) everything else in application and vevor channel worked as promised
