Mounting accessories
Extention cable
Optimally you should use extension cables with their respective brand. If you bought Philips Hue Stripes get Litcessory Extension Cable.
Diffusers
You would be better off buying them locally, but if you have you can get them on Amazon
SATZOL
I Would say diffusers are a necessity for aesthetic reasons, and for LED stripe durability, you are spending some cash already, you have to spend a little more. except under cabinets, or under the bed when only the LED light is visible.
My recommendation would be to find a local store to get the best deal.
Cable management
Organize and tide up your cables, use mounting accessories, and keep your setup clean
Summary
Your setup should be around $150 with the shipment, you can find the equipment listed on this post on Amazon using the exact name, or type the description. Feel free to do your own indulgence, and we will keep updating so you won't have to.
