Strip Lighting

[Barsel]

Have you seen strip lighting or perhaps you may have it under your kitchen cupboards?
How does it work?
Does it fit underneath cupboards with a sticky backing, does it stay on and what does it run off?
TIA

Are you talking about the LED strips?

On a reel

If you mean LED lighting yes they come on strip on a reel, affix with sticky back plastic. Some have a dimmer seithc too.

Whether or not hey stay stuck probably depends on the quality of the product you buy, as with other products.

[Barsel]

Perhaps not on a reel, but probably in strips. I saw them on ebay or Amazon but it didn't really give enough info on them.

You can get battery powered or we have some that were put in by an electrician

These are the ones I saw .

If it is the reels then most come with an adhesive back already on them. You need to make sure the cupboard is clean and free of any grease so meths or something like it on the final clean.

You can also get clear plastic clips that straddle the strip and screw in. I always use some of these when installing for people.

Having looked at it again, it looks like each strip is joined together with a lead and powered by USB, is that right?

[youngmafbog]

Be careful of electrical items off ebay. OK if they are an approved item.

Thanks chelle, have to go out now but will have a read of that when I get back.

Those are for tv mood lights and connect to the tv usb to get the power. They work on 5v by the looks of things.

No good for kitchen lights.

[Barsel]

yes, that's what I want them for. I'm hoping to buy what is a fairly plain TV bench and I thought the strip would look good for that.

Building outdoor lighting displays for Christmas is a festive and cherished tradition, and facade lighting plays a central role in creating a captivating visual spectacle. Using a combination of traditional string lights, LED fixtures, and other decorative elements, the building's facade is transformed into a magical winter wonderland, spreading joy and warmth to all who behold it.

The key to successful facade lighting during Christmas lies in creativity and meticulous planning. Designers must consider the architectural features of the building and strategically place the lights to accentuate its unique characteristics. Additionally, the use of vibrant colors, synchronized patterns, and animated effects brings the display to life, enhancing the overall appeal.

Despite its enchanting allure, building outdoor lighting for Christmas can present challenges. Harsh weather conditions, technical glitches, and power consumption are factors that demand careful consideration. Ensuring the safety and durability of the lighting setup is crucial to avoid any mishaps and to maintain the festive spirit throughout the holiday season. With proper expertise and attention to detail, a stunning facade lighting display can transform any building into a beacon of Christmas cheer.
