Hi, new member here seeking a bit of advice.
I want to run 4 x 5 meter addressable RGB LED stips around my living room skirting to form a continuous 20 meter strip -don't judge me lol. The LEDS will be controlled by a NodeMCU flashed with WLED and powered by a 5V 12A 60W psu. All 4 strips will...

I am looking to install some 12v led strip lighting in my touring caravan. I want the option of warm white or cool white. Is it possible to not have faf of a controller and remote etc but wire in an on/off/on switch to select between the 2 white colour options. I could run 2 lengths of led strip...

1. I have ran 2X 2 core 0.75mm2 cable from the carcass unit where all the sockets and less driver is in, into the wall and comes up...

I have a problem that I can´t solve with my lack of electrician knowledge. I have a situation, where I have one temperature changing 12V LED strip and I need to controll it from two different spots. To be exact, that CCT strip is behind my bed and I´d like to put one controller on each...
Hi all
Need advice on my current LED light setup with Sonoff switch. Can I check if the Sonoff switch should be connected as highlighted in the picture? TIA.
Hi all I’m new here.
I’ve just installed 25m of ip68 led strip lights round my garden. 8w per meter. They came on just a plug top. Installed it all then plugged in brilliant. Just what we wanted. Now I’ve cut the plug off and gone through a photocell. But now when they come on at dusk they...
Hi everyone,
I am a noobie playing around with the car. It makes me so happy to take things apart but with no knowledge I most of the times struggle to put it back together lol.
Anyway, decided to instal a strip inside my headlight. I hooked it up into standard H4 turn signal cables and the...
Hi quick question, I need to removed some LED tape lights I fitted under my kitchen cabinets a while ago in order to fit some profiles. The adhesive they originally came with is not sticky enough to reattach them. Does anyone have any suggestions what to use?
Thanks in advance

Excuse a basic question. But just wondering on people's suggestions for installing LED strip lights under cabinets attached. On both the left and right cabinets there is an existing light. Guy wants replaced with strip lights. There will be three sections, one for left side and two for right...
A client asked me to fit some LED strip lights, 1m long, easy enough, they bought them, probably on Amazon, 3 pin plug with 6 inches of wire and then a very small plastic enclosure about the size of a switch, then another 6 inches of wire directly into the strip lighting. I needed to extend the...
Hi, for some reason whenever I turn on my lamp it also turns on my PC. I have little to no electrical experience so I would just like some help with resolving this as it is quite annoying.
(Both the PC and lamp are both connected to the same Power Strip/extension cord)
I'm looking at arrangements for lighting in a small room. It needs a decent level of low-shadow light when occupied, but as windows are usually shuttered it also need to have emergency lighting in case of a fault (not for long though, 30 min is plenty of time to fix or leave).
My initial idea...
I have installed LED strip lighting behind some landscape panels. There are 7 panels each panel having 2 x 1200mm 2538 LED light strips. I have two power feed lines - one powering the furthest 3 panels, one powering the closest 4 panels to the power source. The power source is a 22amp 320 watt...
Hi,
We are doing a bathroom renovation and I can't find a light or a mirror with light that I like. I would like to buy a simple mirror that suits the style I am going for with a wooden frame, and then mount that mirror on a MDF background slight smaller than the mirror. I would like that MDf...
Hi guys
Doing my kitchen and want to put the led strips under the cabinets and also the kick boards. Any recommendations for any? The one for the kick boards would need to fit round a u shape so would ideally be flexible to bend round.
Cheers guys
Hi all, probably being really thick so apologies if I am!
Just wondered why led strip comes with such a thin supply cable?
For eg 10m x 9.6w = 96w \ 12v = 8 A.
So ideally not accounting for volt drop etc a minimum of 1.0mm csa needed.
Why does most led strip come with a supply cable of maximum...
Hello first time poster here.
I have purchased some lifx led strips that are powered by a 3 pin plug. I am wanting these to be permanently wired to a driver for a more cleaner clutter free look.
can anyone recommend the right transformer for this strip please.
Ultimately for my project im making a lamp which will be powered by the weight of an object. So i want to power the whole led strip lighting solely through placing an object on the weight sensor pad. If anyone knows where i could buy a setup like this or how i could go about making it myself...
Hi
New to LEDs, curious to how you’d go about getting LEDs on a strip to flash one after the other.
Small strip, 3-5 LEDs.
Ideally with a minimal amount of components. (Ive got a small area to work with)
Thanks
