What LED strip lighting for shelves?

[DarkBaron]

Hi,

I have a shelf in my study area and I am looking to add some led lighting on the shelves. What LED strips could I use and how would I go about doing this?

What extensions, drivers, power adaptor would i need? Will I need diffusers? Ideally trying to connect all the shelf lighting to 1 Power adaptor and preferably physical remote control operated. App control is a bonus.

I am attaching a picture of my shelf.

Thanks

@DarkBaron good stuff mate, sometimes simple is better.

Would either of you know if a 20 AWG wire is sufficient for the project? This is what I purchased.

The LED strip (CCT) is about 16W/m

For each shelf I will only require 40 cm x 4 with:

The top 2 shelves require a cable run of 3 m each and the bottom 2 require 2m each.to the LED driver.

Thanks

Should be OK next time go for for 18 AWG.

Hello @DarkBaron 

Just a friendly reminder that any electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician for safety and compliance. 

In the interest of health and safety, I suggest engaging the services of an electrician so that the wiring is done safely and to code.

Let me call on our experienced members @CSParnell and @MikeTNZ for their recommendations.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

I went for the 18 AWG wire and manged to create an led strip for each of my 4 shelves.

Finally completed the LED project!
