I've had the adhesive on these LED strips fail (becoming unstuck) after
a period of time and that is in the absence of heat or steam. Not the
whole length but in small sections. Enclosing them in in a aluminum
channel for heat sink purposes and adding a clip on cover or diffuser
will help with a glue failure, cosmetically at least.

Waterproof strips for outdoor use are possibly recommended for kitchen use.


Noted. Thanks.
