I want to understand more about this whole "thing" (light addiction) by making a few projects. The first one I would like to try is basically a cabinet light. It needs to light up the space under the bathroom sink. Don't ask why :nana:
The issue will be wiring it up to the wall outlet. I know I can get a wall wart and cut it apart to supply 12V or 9V AC or DC.
I'm thinking 5 to 10 of those 5mm white LEDs on DX. See here for specs. If they don't "break through" a sheet of paper acting as a diffuser I might need to go with the bargain bin Cree/SSC/Luxeon LEDs.
So tell me how to wire them up, what resistors, ICs, transistors, capacitors and power adapter I need. I'll worry about the directivity and fixturing.
Or tell me where to find what I need to know to think it up myself.
