Sorry on my part, while I have worked on many strip lights over the years for donation in work and materials to theaters, I don't do strip light for my museum in taking these. Worked on to the extent of re-enameling circa at least 1928 reflectors in something one would think is easy enough but cannot believe how messy.
That said about the strips, not good photos about what type they are or description. No matter the type, an unfortunate industry type of thing - very unfortunate but probably better as per scrap steel for this age. One does not sell or give away what one wouldn't still use due to
safety concerns for the end user. At least that's my concept that I would hope all hold to in electricating you or giving it to your brother to electricute. That or if given to your brother/sister assures you they are responsible enough that you are no longer liable for the gear given them at least. Overall, strip lights can be useful but are mostly obsolete even for museum presentation.
Given all of this, I would recommend storing them away. Really, put them away as is or restored if not currently useful. Got
DMX channeled
LED belt tape at this
point and even believe I saw a ROBE mover
LED with multi-color gobos in the
image that was somewhat bright this past week. Possible that ten years from now someone might thank you for now throwing out the old strip light? This given some sort of lamp even
DMX controlleld that might work with it in the furture - possible.
I would say that it's possible in the future this strip light will become useful again to your theater. Heck, even 100w A-19 frosted
halogen lamps made a big difference to a few theaters I have worked on the cycs to. Put them away is my recommendation.
