Re: [ukha_d] Cooker Hood Lighting

["Nicholas Humfrey njh@xxxxxxxxxx [ukha_d]" <ukha_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got annoyed with LED bulbs in my cooker hood recently and ended up
'building my own'!

Being 12v also means I could hook it into a DMX LED dimmer, like my
under-cupboard lighting.




It isn't the brightest in the world but much better than it was before.


60 LEDs per metre
4.8 watt per metre
0.08W per LED
9 x 6 rows of LEDs = 54 = 4.32W
Two panels = 8.64W = 0.72A
Two panels = 54 * 5.4 = 291.6 lm
