![]() This wasn't UL certified which the LED strip said it required but that's why I have a fuse. This one was dirt cheap but shipping took a long time. I also lucked out that this one was screwed together because I intended to use the internals and not the housing it came in. I chose these because of their brightness. I wanted something bright without having to use a whole 16 foot long strip of lights. WARNING: Even though I bought and used these I do not recommend them. These were soldered in the middle (shown in picture) even though they say in the description they can be cut every third LED they can not due to this. After contacting the company they would only do their standard return which meant not getting reimbursed for the shipping cost. I got them to work but I no longer will buy anything from them. So, if anyone has a good place to buy LED's I would be interested to know for any future projects. ![]() Rant over.įor the panel that will be holding the LED strips I ended up using a sheet of aluminum. I was originally just going to use a MDF sheet for both the front and the back but there was a piece of scrap aluminum at work that was large enough to use. The panels dimensions are 5.5 inches by 7.5 inches. The way I laid out the LED strips meant that it would be a lot of smaller strips soldered together. I haven't done much soldering so this was going to really test my soldering skills but I liked the layout so I stubbornly stayed with the harder but better looking design. See PDF for the layout dimensions I used. NOTE: When laying out the strips you want the the connections to be the same on either side of the gap. This will simplify soldering these together. See pictures for example.Īfter all of that soldering it was time to test it and luckily everything lit up. WARNING! If you have a Kidde fire extinguisher make sure it is not recalled. Dimmable LED panel lights typically come with a constant voltage power adapter, and newer ones are equipped with a constant current driver. ![]() They just had a large recall on many of their fire extinguishers. The light output is generally dimmable from 100 to 5. Dimmer mechanisms for LED panel lights can be controlled in two ways some LED panel light dimmers could be controlled by a dimmer switch. offerd lots of LED lighting solutions to many famous brands, e.g. Signcomplex has three dimmable versions of LED panel light:0-10V.īoth of the ones that I have were recalled. ![]()
