Looking for strip light to put under cupboards in kitchen and found this, good price I thought.
No power supply included so would have to connect to a 12v adaptor yourself.

If you're like me, you'll have half a dozen suitable and safe transformers in your attic from old gadgets and gear. I've found many old routers have 12v output around 1.5amps, which I run 1metre, 2 metre and the full 5 metre lengths on with no issue. Lower output supplies can used on shorter lengths. Their plugs even tend to fit the remote receiver.

It's said the life of these leds can be shortened by the use of underpowered transformers, but as I also know from experience, cheap non-certified Chinese transformers can be prone to going bang, potentially shortening lives. We had one start smouldering with a curtain not far above it. Lucky we were in the house, in time to stop a blaze.

Love our airing cupboard, which used to be so dingy it was hard to see what was in there. Now, lines of LEDs light up when you open the door. Looks a cross between a fridge and a theatre dressing room. :sunglasses:

Personally I would choose to buy a nice EU certified power supply from somewhere like Maplins, rather than get a dodgy power supply in a package from China.

I'd personally spend the extra few £ on their RGB light kit that comes with power adaptor and remote. That way gives you the option of changing colours and it comes with power adaptor you know is going to work.

Fitted a kit like that last week to my patio (the kit was waterproof version obviously), really easy to fit and looks brilliant, also kids loved it on disco (flashing) mode :smile:

Take a look at Sensio stuff. Really good variety of different 12V/24V powered stuff. The drivers are colour coded to enable you to choose compatible leds

Its quite a bit more expensive that whats linked to here, but its quality and doubt it will go bang

If you buy this item you'll get a strip of lights worth around £1.64. Very poor.

By whom? That's surprising, I would've thought overpowered & certainly over-voltage PSU's would be a concern.
