M4 products look interesting.

The 5050s I have are larger physically than the 3528; the body, and, the led itself if I recall. The 24-3528 has 24 leds, the 24-5050 has 24 larger leds. They are GRV brand. Inexpensive and work well.
Picking the right "color" is the key to the brightness. You can google various examples of the different hues. We do not like the "warm" lighting that leaves things rather dark and yellow. We do not like the "bright" where the leds turn bluish. The cool white worked for us. Use the 12-24vdc leds, not the 12v only; mine died continuously until I used the 12-24s.
Edit; provided links to the leds on Amazon but it had all my account info so deleted.
