I would too, if I had one but I don't (-: Is there another way?

I didn't realise that. Who sells these? Getting the drill bit is the easy part. The harder part is how to use the marginally larger drill bit to extend an existing hole?

I made the shelves using a 44mm solid core fire door. I drilled the holes for the floating self brackets which are 12mm in diameter using a 12mm twist drill bit and a drill block to make it square. The fit appears a bit too tight so I cant slide the shelf onto the rods. I checked the fit, and...

What's better running a 24V LED strip with 1 24v driver for all 3 shelves or 12V LED strip with 3 drivers 1 for each shelf? Shelf length is 2.4m and I have 3 of them. I have 240V supply next to each shelf.

No reason other than that this is how I've seen it done so just wanted to check this out with people who know what they're doing. Some here think a profile is needed for heat dissipation some say it's not needed or that it's not clear whether an aluminium profile acts as an effective heatsink. I...

I came across this Facebook reel https://www.facebook.com/share/r/3A9cz5wVVamZmFxJ/ showing a carpenter installing a Hafele flexible strip light https://www.hafele.co.uk/en/product/led-flexible-strip-light-12-v-length-3000-mm-4-mm-rated-ip44-loox5-led-2099/83374261/?MasterSKU=P-01456796 straight...

This is the COB LED strip light I am referring to. I am planning to use it as an up-light in a recessed aluminium channel + diffuser in my floating shelf. I would like to turn it off and on and prefer not to bother with a dimmer or remote. I have 220v supply next to each shelf so plan to use a...

I build 2.5m long flaoting shelves and would lile to have some led uplights installed but i dont need a dimmer. Can I use a dimable COB LED strip without a dimmer? If so, can anyone recommend a good one?

Agreed. Thanks. Can I use a dimable COB LED strip without a dimmer? Can anyone recommend a good one?

Shelves are 2400mm long. The electrician lay 220v supply for each shelf, all controlled by one wall on/off light switch. About the COB LED strip, I don't really need a dimmer or a remote. Can I connect a dimmable LED strip without a dimmer switch or is it preferable to have a controller with a...

There's 220v supply ready by each of the 3 shelves.

About the drivers, do I choose 12V or 24V ones? What make and model are recommended? I can burry it in the shelf (that is going to be tight) or in the wall, what is best practice?

The Sensio Aluminium Profile looks the part. Thanks

That is what i am after. Thanks.

Thanks. I looked it up extensively and like the example you posted the diffusers that I found are curved so slightly proud of the self surface. I'm looking for a flat diffuser and a chanel that is flush with the shelf.
