Has anyone experimented with side lights?

I bought these to play around with later in my grow. It can't be too powerful. The whole strip runs on only 5v.

Side and under lighting have been proven to increase yield.
Cool. Not sure where to put it yet. It's only going to be used to supplement my current lighting. It's a peel and stick.

I was thinking of mounting it around 4" to 5" above my pot and use it once my plant is established. Right now it hasn't poked it head out yet.

I did that first before posting here. The lights they used wasn't like I have.
The lights you have don't look very bright.. at best being blue/ultraviolet may help keep the bottom buds tightened and produce more crystals/Trichomes... but I'm thinking your light penitration given your space is enough to keep everything good..

I forgot to mention. The light in my tent is only set to 40% or 150 PAR at the soil.

I do have another light I'm planning on experimenting with later down the road for bud growing. A 395nm UVA light.
 
Buzz word is intercanopy lighting.
I'm thinking it can help raise leaf temperature to be in VPD range and facilitate transpiration.
 
The grow light tape isn't working out like I hoped for. So I bought some better side lighting. I plan in putting them on my side vertical tent frame.
