Hi Watta,

I Halim, also have the same interest as yours for my new house, from L-Box to LED strip. To be honest I do not have any knowledge of this and would like to request your support to advise me on this, especially on the technical aspect of using what type of LED, brand, etc2. Wondering if you have a time to help me?

Thanks in advance!

you can use the plater ceiling type aluminium profile like what shared by mrkang.
I personally used SMD2835 120LED 24v strip, but take note your profile has to be at least 1cm deep, or else you will have dark spots, or you could go with the COB type LED strip but these are slightly dimmer compared to the 2835 120LED 24v.
Just go to those lighting shop to see the LED strip then you would have an idea, tell them 2835 120LED 24v then they will show you.
Also, if you're doing squares like me, it should be a ring connection to the power supply so you would lose brightness towards the end of the strip, you'd get more even brightness

May I know the total length of your LED strip for the "square" in the photo?

Planning to do the same, but the total length is about 15 Meter, not sure the ring connection method is sufficient to generate even brightness.

mine was about 12 meters, if you're worried about ring connection being insufficient, you can try using 2 power supplies at opposite corners and create L shapes from each corners, thus each power supply is powering 2x 3.75m strips

Hi, can share how much charges to install this square LED strip lighting? Labor + Material

the problem is my place no plaster ceiling. Planning to use those aluminium profile/casing only, thus no place to hide so many power supply. some more thot of using dimmer also.

Now considering using those AC LED strip light + dimmer.

Regarding plaster ceiling, are you guys concern about the long term health issues it poses?

Concerns I heard are the plaster ceiling has small fine particles dropping over time and we breathe the fine particles in everyday.

Not sure whether to install plaster ceiling or not in my new condo...dilemma

Hi all,

Want ask for this design, is it necessary to have plaster ceiling?
