LED Lighting for displays?

[Nick_IoW]

Anyone know of some cheap LED options for lighting display shelving?

I need about 42 strips or so, so need to try to keep price down.

Cheers

Oooh food for thought on both.

Able to cut those 5m ones up and re-wire them Frank?

No idea as I needed them that long, but you can fire the seller a message to check Nick

I picked these up at Ikea. The end result is nice, but the flex is a bit short. Easy enough to fix.

Here's a video of me fixing that.

great vid. I saw those lights in Ikea and thought they looked pretty nifty. They do different lengths as well.

I can't solder for **** though :roll:

Yeah, you can buy a few variations on them. These were the cheapest at £11 each. Soldering is not so hard. Just needs a steady hand.

Did the first cabinet display today - think it looks pretty good for £12 and a bit of soldering. Going to hide the lights from view next.

1 down, 4 to go!

The red one looks a bit like a star wars brothel :lol:

Nice result Nick. Are there just the two row's of lights in there?

6 rows of lights there, just cant see the other 4 cos of the angle I took the picture at. I bought a 5 meter strip (for 11.99 and came with sower supply and remots), and cut it into 6 x 50cm lengths to do this unit, and have more than enough to do the narrower unit next to it. Just a bit of soldering was needed and some extra rgb wire, and a led splitter for the second unit. So far happy with the result.

They're ikea units - and I may switch the shelves out for the glass ones that they sell as an alternative.
