Hi All,
I am designing a 12V LED lighting setup for my built-in wardrobe. I am using only LED strip lighting (Link for Electrical Diagram).
This is how the LED Strips will be used:
Area 1 - Above shoes in shoe rack - Example
Area 2,3,4 - In Front of clothes hanger- Example
Components
- 200W LED Driver - Link Here
- LED Dimmer - Link Here
- LED Strip Light - Link Here
Would appreciate advice on if i have selected the correct power supply & dimmer for the job and if i am missing anything.
Couple of questions
1. Is using 3528 LED ok for this purpose, i am avoiding 5050 LED because of the higher power consumption but i am worried about brightness. There are halongens in the room and woried they will drown out the lower illumination from the 3528 compared to the 5050. Having used 5050 (60 LED/m) for another project i know it will definately be bright enough but avoiding it due to the higher power consumption.
2. If using the 3528, does it make sense to use 60 LED/m for area 1 (Smaller area to fill) and 120 LED/m for area's 2,3,4 as they need to light up more area. by using 60 LED/m for area one i think i am able to stick to 200W power supply.
3. What colour should i select for the LED in this application (wardrobe). I normally stick with warm white for the home but maybe i should pick white in this case?
4. What size wire would be suitable if longest run from LED Driver to LED Strip is 9m?
Thanks in advance and apologies if this is in the wrong section.
