Thomas, LEDs or not, I want your kitchen!
Really nice! And good taste in chairs...
Thanks man, those pics were taken when I only had one kid. Now that I have two, it looks very... um.. "different" :confused
How thick and flexable is this stuff?
Do you think it could be sewn into the hem of a hooded robe?
I'm doing a costume next that has glowing runes along the seams, including around the hood. I've been trying to find a way to light the rune letters with EL Wire or EL Tape, but that much EL Tape would get prohibative (Tape seemts to be about $9.00/ft, I'd need at least 13 feet, too much for my budget with everything else the outfit needs).
I have a hunch this stuff might be too stiff, but if not...Score!
Definitely not too stiff to sew into a hood. They have many different kinds. some of them are stiffer because they are covered in a clear flexible plastic to make them waterproof. However, the ones that are "raw", are just flexible tape, as thin as paper, with small led lights every few inches. i would consider the diffussion of these though. Unlike EL tape you'll probably see each individual led light if you put it in clothing.
So how are these powered? I see that they typically take 12v. But what kind of wiring abilities do you have to have? Is there a converter that just plugs into the wall or battery pack?
Almost no wiring ability needed. My LED's have two wires + & -. I hooked mine up to a "rgb controller." That gives me the ability to control my lights by remote. Then I hooked 4 of these controllers up to a power pack, still just two wires per controller. The power pack just plugs into the wall.
Thanks man. I did a remodel a few years ago. Figured I'd do it right once and for all.
Awesome kitchen Thomas... great looking touch with the LED's. And thank you MVMAGIC for the tip on the LED'S.

Thanks again guys.
Just PM me if any of you need any help. I didn't get my LED's off ebay though, I have a local store here that I pick them up from, so I can't really help with finding them online.
