Default LED light strip

I picked up a Dioder LED strip from IKEA:
http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00119419/, according to
which "Can be connected together (up to 4 pieces)".

That suggest that using fewer than all four of the strips supplied is
OK, but is it likely to have any effect on the equipment?

As far as remember the wall wart supplied is a switch mode and
presumably well regulated, strip wants a constant 12V, as long as PSU
dosen`t drift up with lower loading everything is fine.

I am confused (probably Ikea's doing).

Following that link I see a picture which shows the classic blue-white
LED effect. But the description says 2700K. These do not reconcile with
each other!

Have you got them working yet? What colour are they?

They don't seem particularly blue. They're much warmer than that picture
suggests.
