LED Lighting for Home with Dimmer: DIY
This is a build log of LED Lighting done for my Modular Kitchen using a 12V Car LED Lighting Strip and Dimmer circuit. You could follow the same log to get idea to build similar lighting solutions for you home. Enjoy !! https://goo.gl/2Psba4
Skill Level: Medium
Time: 3hrs
Project Cost: $10
Tools Needed:
Knife
Scale
Tape
Insulation tape,
Double sided tape
Cello tape
Parts holder
Marking pen
Soldering iron
Soldering iron holder
Solder
Soldering flux
Materials required:
12V warm white LED lightstrip
12V battery adaptor
Connector for that as well
Some wires
2.2K Variable resistor and a knob
A small plastic box
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Check the area and identify a power source and measure the length of wire and LED strip that you require.
2. Take the box make a hole for the variable resistor, another for the wire and the variable resistor.
3. Solder the parts as shown in the video.
4. Stick the carbon vinyls on the box and screw the variable resistor tight. Also glue the socket. Test the circuit.
5. Peel and bit of the 3M tape of the LED strip and put the insulation tape for additional strength.
6. Start sticking the LED strips and cover the wires with insualtion tape.
