LBE#5 - Making custom LED lighting for the shop

One of my floro tube lights in the shop died, again, so I decided to build new LED lighting strips from scratch. These are for general room lighting, but I may well do something very similar for the work bench in the new year.

Credit to DIY Perks for the concept, this is basically an adapted version of his latest DIY studio light - https://youtu.be/DhbMnQt14_o

The dimmer is optional, but it's a good idea to have some way of regulating the lamp. One of my PSUs is flaky, and slight dimming brings the power consumption down to a level the PSU is happier with.

The PSU is an example unit, I used stuff I had laying around. Basically any 12v 4a brick will do. You could go lower if making shorter lengths. 4amps seems to power about 3m comfortably at full-tilt, you may need 5 or 6 amps for longer runs. You can also use higher quality "LED driver" units if you want, but I like these cheap power bricks because they're sealed boxes that don't require me to go anywhere near the AC Mains side.
