LEDs question (for a LOT of them)
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:27 pm
I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I felt it is closest to the subject matter... Ermmm... Sort of.
For those who don't know, I am doing Product Design Technology. I was going to go down the line of producing a product for photographers, but the feasability was an issue so I am making a new style mirror/mood lighting sort of thing (yeah, what did I say about this best fitting this forum? lol)
Anyway, I'd just like some advice on the best way of powering the mood lighting bit of the product.
The mirror is estimated to be 1434mm in perimeter. I'd like to have LEDs (or is there a better lighting source?) surrounding the entire frame. But to make it even worse, I'd like there to be several colours of LED. Say, blue, white and red? The superbright kind which will actually light stuff up!
Now I've done some calculations and it would seem those LEDs would cost
