I want to install lighting something a little unusual in the bathroom
4 leds in series.
Current driven 20mA, each led dropping around 2.5V.
Lots of them dotted around the bathroom, with wiring behind the tiles.
3mm Leds that fit between 4mm gap in tiles.
I have experimented with creating a jig, and angling them down at 45mm.
They are then to be potted and made waterproof.
Only little dots are going to appear out of the grout.
I plan on driving them from a 12V supply as the top rail and some transistors controlling the current to 20mA. The 12V supply and driver circuitry is to be situated in a safe zone. The power supply will be double insulated. The live side is to be protected by an RCD.
So I have no qualms about getting in the bath and knowing I am safe.
I am going to do this myself as I am not sure I could get an electrician to know what I want.
I am concerned about certification.
I may just enjoy the lighting, while I live in the house, then when I sell the house, drill out the leds and re-grout. Then disconnect the 12V supply.
What do you think about. Safety, and certification. Is this a notifiable job?
