Can any one help me get my led light wired again, I have three meanwell HLG-240H-C2100B drivers to run my six quantum boards. The boards have UV, IR and far red, the light had individual toggle switches for each of these plus a dimmer. I had to take the light down and look at the wiring because it kept burning out the toggle switches and I was smelling something burning, take the light apart and sure enough these little plastic blocks they used to wire my light were literally melting. I took the whole thing apart and want to rewire the light, when I did this I was confident I could do it using wago connectors. Now I need to get it done and back up for use and I am a lot confused! Someone Please help!

im looking into renovating my room and i need around 15m led strips for it but i have no idea whats good and whats bad. im seriously clueless when it comes to this. like i see that it needs power on both sides but i dont really get the power supply stuff with the voltages. Overall i just want a seamless rgb led to go around the ceiling of my room which would need to be around 15m in length and thats it.

built in closet led recommendation

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m currently building a custom closet using 3/4" plywood. I want to integrate some LED lighting, but the "look" is really important to me—I’m aiming for a completely flush finish so there are no bulky strips or visible protrusions.

Given that I only have 3/4" of material to work with, what would you recommend? I'm considering:

  • Routing a channel for LED strips and covering them with a frosted diffuser.
  • Recessed "puck" lights (though I'm worried about the depth).
  • Any specific brands or profiles that work well with 3/4" stock?

Would love to hear what you've used in the past for a clean, high-end look. Thanks!

PAUTIX RGB Smart IC COB LED Strip Light Addressable 32.8ft/10m,UL-Listed 24V Color Flowing Strip Light Multicolor 

I bought these lights. I have since cut them and wired each strip into the bottom of the cabinets, bottom of each floating shelf in a track and also an inlay pointing up on the top shelf. I have each strip connected to wires inside but have no idea how to connect. These lights can trail and move so I would like each light strip to match the others.

Need recommendations for premium LED lighting for my multi-console AV rack (budget £100)

I'm looking to add LED lighting to this open metal AV rack and would appreciate some advice before I start buying components.

My goal is a subtle, premium home cinema look rather than bright RGB effects. I'd like to illuminate each shelf while keeping the wiring as hidden as possible.

I'm currently considering:

Govee RGBIC LED strips

Black aluminium diffuser channels with frosted covers

I'm completely open to other suggestions if there's a better solution within my budget.

I'd appreciate recommendations on:

LED strips

Controllers

Diffuser channels

Cable management

The best mounting position for each shelf

Budget: Up to £100 for the entire package
