Hi all, for those that might be interested,I discovered a 12 volt LED strip that come in 5 metres flexible self adhesive roll and you are then able to cut every 3 LED's. It has a positive and negative patch on either end, where you can solder the wires in series for corners, bends, extentions etc. I have used a fine comms cable, the one used for security gates and intercoms, that I strip for the lenghts I need. A laptop 12 volt battery charger reduces our 220v to 12vdc. Looks fantastic when lit. If it helps I can post the specs. I have not found that the LED's produce too much heat, it only provides 4.8 to 5w alum. The strips themselves appear to be a foil of sorts that defuses the heat as well. Trust this helps your cause.
