Even More Layout Lighting

I finally got a chance to get some more wood and have constructed the last of the layout lights.These have all been made using “5050 Day White” LED strips stuck on to “Scotia Mouldings”…

Applying LED Strip

A wire is soldered onto the strip, normally somewhere in the middle. This goes through the a hole in the strip and into the wall:

Once attached to the wall, the wire is invisible:

Note that it’s the wall that’s wobbly, not the lighting strips!

All the layout lights together take 42W of power – it’s a LOT of light for not much electricity. The next project will be a dimmer to turn them up and down as required.
