Hello everyone!
I'm new, so if I make any faux pas, please excuse me.
I am working as an architectural intern in Amsterdam at the moment and have been given the task of making some new light fittings for our new office. My boss found some very beautiful lights made by a dutch company called waarmakers (see image)
These sell for nearly €400. Since I have a passion for making things I have been asked to see if I can make a few for the office, and for a more reasonable price. The LED tube that they use is a Philips GA110 900mm.
After doing some research I now understand that these LEDs are very simple and all that you need is a "non-shunted" fitting and then you can simply wire in your live and neutral.
Can you also run a wire from the non-shunted fitting to a plug and plug them into the wall? Like this:
Since I don't have much experience with domestic electricity, and due to the inherent dangers, I thought I should post here for any advice that you guys might have for me. Should I look out for particular tubes wattage etc. Have I misunderstood anything?
Many thanks for your time,
Henri
