I'm not using LED's for the energy saving part (as you can see :lol: ). I'm using them because they last longer, they are easier to manipulate around plinths, cupboards etc and to me they give off a much better type of light which looks contemporary which you can;t always achieve with...

Hi, the strips can be cut every 3 LEDS and can be dimmed so that might be an option. Yes, the only thing with RGB (i have some already that have a standard power supply as only 5meters) is that you cannot get a true white colour because it uses all 3 colours on at the same time. And when...

Thanks nickjb. The only reason which is putting me off using seperate power supplies is that I already have this fused switch on the wall of my kitchen (near the plugs) that is used for the current cabinet lighting. And to keep things tidy I wanted to simply switch that to turn on and...

If i buy this 200w version: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30W-60W-100W-150W-200W-DC12V-LED-Driver-Power-Supply-Transformer-Waterproof-CE-/221509677435?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item339301717b What size fuse do i need to use in the plug? total watts will be 180w. I have found this...

Thanks Simon. What about... Or 2 of these at 96w each? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3A-5A-8A-10A-UK-12V-Power-Supply-Adapter-Transformer-For-LED-Strip-5050-3528-RGB-/121084600301?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item1c31345fed or 1 of these (but only has 2 output cables...but i suppose i...

:? I might just stick with a torch at this rate.. :lol: I'm not 100% sure yet on the switches. I could have 3 PSU's I suppose... or simply buy 1 PSU with fan cooling and which is enclosed. Not sure, how do I work this out? winston1 mentioned it would be fine to wire the original PSU...

The strips will be used on top of cabinets, under cabinets and around the plinths, so it isn't all used for under cabinets. Although I am connecting switch to each one if I wanted to turn any of the areas off. LED Light Source : 5050 SMD LED LED Power : 14.4W/Meter, 0.24W each LED...

Hi, Thanks for that. I spoke to the seller and they said that as the unit is only powering about 50% its capacity it would be fine if it was in a well ventilated area and not enclosed in a small area... :? When looking on YouTube at peoples LED strip set-up using a similar PSU I can't...

Thanks for your responses. What would be a solution then? Do I need to buy something to cool the unit. If so what and where from? thanks again :)

Hi, I was to run around 13m of 12v LED 5050 strip lighting in my kitchen. I have researched the best way of doing this etc and just wanted to double check everything sounds ok. I have purchased 13m of 5050 12V LED strip lighting which I'm told runs at about 14.4w per meter. So a total of...

The missus wants a 'minimalistic look' :| so apparently induction is the only option :D

Thanks for your response. At the moment I have the same sort of oven, and a gas hob. I understand they will simply cap off the gas supply pipe, right? At the moment, I have a cooker switch on the wall (like this...

Hi, I am getting my kitchen updated and just want to make sure before I call in any electricians what, if anything, needs to be done to allow us to have the below electric cooker and induction hob. The house is 6 years old so I'm hoping everything is up to date....but we'll see... The...
