Just curious, has anyone else here played with the Ikea Dioder LED strips? Ikea just opened in Orlando and I've been there once a week since it opened (80+ miles away). They have their Dioder series of undercabinet lighting, which are very thin LED strips and discs. So far I've picked up a multicolor set and white set and am very impressed with how thin yet bright they are. Still not 100% sure where I'm going to use them yet, but they're LED, so I just had to buy them. I'm thinking I might end up using them in places where I was planning on using T5's or maybe where T5's would have been too large.
One thing which caught my eye is that they have small switch-mode transformers in the line which show 120vAC/0.1A primary, 12vDC/5 watts secondary, opening my mind up to all sorts of uses for these lights. My readings with a Kill-a-watt meter seem to confirm they're operating well within this range, 2 watts with only single colors illuminated, 6 watts / 11vA with all colors lit. The white-only strips use 2 watts total and have a rather nice color temperature to them, guessing about 3100K.
If anyone wants pics, let me know.
