Browse Forums Kitchen Corner Re: LED Strip Lighting 22Apr 08, 2012 5:16 pm There are a number of direct source websites to get stuff direct from Chinese manufacturer/distributors, such as aliexpress or diytrade (Google). It tends to be a bit more involved than a simple ebay transaction though. I recently bought some higher powered LED strip from http://www.ledlightsworld.com/ that should be arriving on Wednesday. Bought 5630 led strip, supposed to be around 27w/metre, with light output >1000lm/m, I'll see when it gets here. They also supply 5050 and 3528 strips at much lower price. Also bought psu's and dimmers, again have yet to see the quality. Their service and advice received so far has been exemplary, though. I'll keep you posted. Re: LED Strip Lighting 23Aug 02, 2012 8:45 pm I thought I'd update this thread with the latest. When I originally started this thread, LED strip lighting was somewhat new and expensive. As andrewloz has said above, you can now get it much cheaper. Since I renovated our kitchen, I've moved and just been through a massive 9 month renovation. I've installed LED strip lights in a few areas (not the kitchen though - we don't have overhead cabinets). Here is the lighting which has just been installed in the main bathroom. Here it is, in the corner (45 degree profile) turned off (mirror is still to be installed): Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Up Close: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ With it turned on (as well as the main lighting on): Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And without the main lighting on (great for late night visits): Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ As for the cost... 5m of LED strip lights (only 3m used here): $25 Transformer: $13.50 LED Aluminium profile (5m worth, only used 3): $55 All prices include delivery. So total cost is under $100, and I've still got 2m left over. Re: LED Strip Lighting 26Aug 07, 2012 9:41 pm roba asc68 Great picture Roba. Where did you order/purchase your lights from? Thanks asc68 LED strip and transformer came from eBay. The aluminium profile was from a Chinese/HK site. Hi Roba Could you possibly share the link to the particular ebay seller for the LED strip and transformer?

Definately a great solution for getting rid of shadows under the overhead kitchen cupboards. I think I will be looking into these further!!

If I mounted a flat strip on the ceiling do you think i could use it to illuminate a vanity mirror? I had my heart set on star lights, but they hurt my OH's eyes.

I had my heart set on star lights, but they hurt my OH's eyes. That's what I've installed them for in the bathroom. They are quite bright. I've used the other 2m for my workshop. I have a low ceiling, so wanted something low profile. To show the brightness, here it is on with no other light source: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: LED Strip Lighting 34Nov 28, 2012 11:06 am I've got down lights in the cupboards with false bottoms, I found the LEDs too gave off too much glare and I prefer the light being over top of the counter as opposed to the back. I've also seen the LED strips people have put in and various parts of the strip have burnt out so one would definitely want to get good ones that last.
