Hey there. I've just joined the forum looking for some information on LEDs in regards to a project I'm about to take on.
I've just opened a coffee shop in Vancouver BC and have a display case full of baked goods that I'd like to light with a wavelength spectrum that makes them look their delicious best.
A friend who is embarking on a lighting design career designed a very cool chandelier from vintage flashlights. It uses LEDs that were scavenged from Ikea lighting products that emit a very cold white light. I'd like to replace these with LEDs that produce a much warmer light that will compliment the browns and warm yellows of the baked goods.
The transformers in the current design are hidden in the cover plate on the ceiling and the low voltage leads from the transformers run down individual cables into each flashlight.
I'm looking for help with deciding which type of LED is best for this task, an idea of whats involved design-wise to install the new LEDs and a good source for the LEDs and any other components I might need.
I have an image but haven't been able to figure out how to attach it.
Thanks!
