The strips are normally sticky/have built-in tape.
I’m lazy, so I just put the LEDs on any high-up surface that points up, and I also have a strip in a large floor lamp from IKEA (I use transparent cable management thingies to attach it to rods inside the lamp. Be careful with some of the floor lamps, as th LED emits a lot of heat and some floor lamps won’t have enough air flow).
You should probably instead buy any aluminum rail + diffuser for LED strips wide enough for your specific strip, attach the rail to the edge between the ceiling and the walls.
At Lighthaven, they just attach a long flat thing to the walls and add and LED strip on the side pointing at the ceiling/the walls (though they also have some strips behind diffusers).
(I’m not doing that, because I’m lazy + occasionally move rooms.)
How many strips you can power depends on how much power they want to eat and how much power your controller can manage and your power supply adapter can provide. The power supply adapter, indeed, plugs into the wall, but you can also find some that connect directly to the main (some of those will be more powerful).
Yay!
