Strip light fabrication

A project log for Ultimate lighting

There has long been a dream of replacing all the floor mounted lighting with anything more practical.

The LED strip lights are so dim, the easiest way to get a truly useful yet adhesive light is smashing hundreds of Sunbeam lightbulbs to make more.  

Those LEDs are driven at 9V when they're cold.  Ended up driving pairs at 16V.

Confirmed the LED backlight still works at 9V DC.  The PWM mode requires driving them at 3V.
