I put the LED rope lights in (photographs the same as the regular ones in).  I had a regular 6 foot set (double run)and the LED (triple run) one is 9 feet long.  My observation is that the 9 foot LED is the same brightness as the regular 6 foor one.  The LED has a very noticable blue tint to it.  With the regular set, you could feel the warmth coming from them even a few inches away.  The LED rope is cold, so it will keep the compressor from running as much.

As it was getting darker on the East side of the basement, I noticed that the LED's were really blue and they were not very bright.
I brought back out a square tube-like rope light (metal on three sides and clear on the 4th).  It is made to be placed under cabinets.  I used some wire ties to hold it and it kept slipping forward.  I figure that it will stay put better once door is closed and plastic wire ties get cold and hold the shape better.
Ahhh, this is much brighter!  I'll see how I much I like this solution!
