LED Strip Lights

Hi

I have a conservatory with no built in lights, we use a table lamp but it's often not bright enough when evening draws in.

I was thinking of buying some strip LED lights that I could stick to the underside of the dwarf wall windowsills.

I don't know much about LED lights though and wondered if anyone had any thoughts they could share with me.

Thanks

    I use a company called powerled for the strips I use.

    I use them a lot in commercial applications such as book case lighting, the ones I use are a 24V 14Wper meter and are in warm white so they give off a softer more subtle light. Their strips are all 3M self adhesive and so far I have never had one fail or come away.

    A 5M strip and power supply will cost around £110 so not the cheapest, but then again with LED cheaper isn't always the better option !

    Ive done exactly what you want to do, Google LED Hut 5m plug and go kit just over £20, they get very good reviews. £100+ for what you want would be mental.
