    Closet Clothes Hanging Bar LED Light System

    Made my own version. Using this blank rail http://www.hafele.co.uk/shop/p/wardrobe-rails/loox-led-2013-2015-wardrobe-rail-profile-30-x-15-mm/81208/5676 Some strips, and the Hafele driver, and proximity switch, works like a charm, and the rail is cheap (about 20 bucks for 2.5 metres), and comes...

    Which Diode do I need?

    Perfect! Thank you so much, your help is truly appreciated! Checking the spec, it says Forward Voltage VF Max: 1.1V. Does this mean my LED strip will receive 11v?

    Which Diode do I need?

    Thank you very much for your detailed answer! re your last point, as mentioned before I have two power supplies, one for each door, plus both feeding the center rail (therefore centre rail comes on if any door is opened). Now, having looked at digikey, i see the rectifiers and their packaging...

    Which Diode do I need?

    Thanks for your reply! My strip is 5W a metre, I will have 2m in the doors, and 1m in the horizontal section. So my circuit will be 12v, and 15W of consumption. Hope thats enough information.

    Which Diode do I need?

    Hi all! I am doing a lighting system for the cupboards in my house, and I think I need a diode in there. Here is the situation: I have a cupboard with two doars, one LED strip on each door, being fed by two 12V 15W constant voltage driver( one for each door), controlled by door switches. I have...

    Cupboards, PSU, switching questions!

    Hi all! I am thinking of using LEDs for lighting of the inside of my kitchen cabinets and bedroom cupboards, so have been playing around with some ideas in my head. Apart from welcoming any suggestions/pictures for the physical arrangement placement of LEDs in relation to shelves, doors etc, I...

    Which driver/switch setup would be better?

    Actually option 4 is the least self build! It connects the Brand X wall switch, to Brand X control network, which controls Brand X led driver (all being same brand!). :)

    Which driver/switch setup would be better?

    Thanks for your reply! The luminaire manufacturer I have in mind (mainly downlights) has told me that I need to specify which driver (AC/1-10/Dali) I require, therefore this question. They will not supply driverless downlights. Perhaps I could have been clearer that this is a design/purchasing...

    Which driver/switch setup would be better?

    Hi all! :wave: Im in the process of my house renovation, so might have few threads running on questions that come up! The current (no pun intended!!:)) one is this: I can do my light setup/wiring in several ways. Depending on the luminaires I pick, they might come with or without an integrated...

    Been out of loop for a while, info needed!

    A bump and some more info. Have ordered some high CRI nichias in various color temps, to finalize my preference. And a further question: When i played with XREs , you could solder the wires unto the top side of the bare emitter. From what I gather this is no longer possible with the XMLs and...

    Been out of loop for a while, info needed!

    Thanks for your reply! re my table above, the directional thing was meant as an example, since in another thread i saw the new square crees being mentioned as non directional, suitable for general illumination, so was looking for a way of comparing different units. Also, completely agree with...

    Been out of loop for a while, info needed!

    Hi All! Ive been out of the loop since I built myself some home LED lighting, with DX XREs and been happy with them. Now with the experience learnt there, and an upcoming house remodeling project, Im researching the new Cree LEDs out there, and frankly Im way confused! Could some kind souls fill...

    Advice needed for dual driver setup.

    Thanks for your advice! I am looking at this project in two stages: 1- the physical arrangement of the two switches in the bedroom (controlling one mains AC wire that then go into the two drivers) 2- the method of kicking in the second circuit, by having only one switch (at either end) control...
