LED Project
I recently ordered in some led strips in from Ebay. They have a few kits to choose from. I ordered the one with a power source and the led's. it also came with a dimmer switch. $44.99 free shipping. Now the price has gone up $5.00. In the kit you receive 5 meters, About 16 foot of led's. i also ordered a 6 pack of connectors for $4.99 too. The strips of led's come with 3m glue on the backside and every 3 inches they have a place where you cut them to the size you need. Off to Home Depot to pick up some aluminum to mount the lights too, cost $5.50 for 8 foot sections. Sunny came over to help with this. The connectors were really easy to work. They are hinged so you open one side , place the led strip in and close it. Once it was all said and done I ended up with 2 six foot led strips that are very cost effective. For $61.00 you can't beat it! I will post pics on this later today. I'm stuck at Ford now having some service done so I have a little time for this. I will link where I purchased the strips from too. I still have 4 feet left over and connectors for another strip.

Looking forward to more info...I think Roy and I are tempted more and more every time we see another LED set up, the technology is definitely heading that way and it looks amazing.
