RGB colour changing led tape systems....

To uplight a dark end of a dining room 8f course! Tho I'm going off the RGB bit & going for dimmable warm white :-)

So any good sources or cr4p sources? Specs?

Istr you mentioning you've fitted a few?

Yup I reckon so :-)

Oh I see..

It's the way of the future, man. You can make 'em any colour you want or they can cycle through various preset colours and combinations thereof automatically which is handy for Xmas or parties.

You can buy strips where each LED can be changed.

E.G.

Nothing specific I just order them for student projects this for today.

Why on earth would you want this in a house?

Sanity prevails.

After 2 weeks of f****ng about with the RGB it will never be used again.

Yup, I used some plain RGB tapes from LEDHut for the top of the two main bits of furniture in my lounge - they point up at the ceiling which is a approx 12" - 18" away.

If you want a "nice" white, then you will get a better CRI from ones with white LEDs since they use a phosphor coating to get broader spectrum white from a blue LED, rather than mixing the rather narrow band RGB sources to get a somewhat "cold" white light.

They often come with an IR based RGB controller and a separate keypad - however you can also get wifi controllers.

I use mine for low level background light when watching movies etc - just set to give a warm yellow/orange glow where it wont reflect in the TV or be in your line of sight. (so I typically just use the one behind the main seating position).

Only as a bit of fun with bit-banging strings of WS2812B "LED pixels"

I just fit what the wholesaler sells. It's all the same s*it.
