LED light strips

[cullengw]

I am planning on running LED light strips down the top corner of the bus for ambient lighting.

I saw some at Home depot the other day but they ran on a 110V circuit. I would love to run them on a 12V circuit but so far I have only seen those for outdoor LED light strips and those are too heavy duty

Any suggestion on how to do this right?

I found a guy at the local car swap meet who had many rolls of china made 12 volt LED flexible strip lights for $30 about 20 feet in length. I have not installed them yet, so I can't say anything about quality.

Because Amazon makes too much sense, Hank? Or it's just because they're impatient

Thank you very much again, had a chance to look through the links. The reveiws on the amazon one were not very good and idk how well i could set up four of those on 1 PS.

probably why its $12

Anyways this purchase wont be made for a while since "winter is coming"

gotta get the carpentry stuff done first lol

Thanks again and the more links the better

I must admit I did not look at that particular one. I use the warm white ones and have never had any troubles with them. I think the ones I used were $15

I have another suggestion too, if you want to have your bus sync with music too (for the holidays) you can use an Arduino program with a rgb led strip kit. Here's a guide I stumbled upon RGB LED Strip Arduino Expert Guide From Zero To ArduinoBest RGB LED Strips

I saw a bus the other day that was syncing Christmas songs with led rgb strips underneath the bus, it was really cool.

I bought these (http://a.co/eUlr9AY) for my boat, which also uses a 12v system, and they work FANTASTIC.

$27, Amazon Prime, 16.4 feet long, sticky adhesive back (which I reinforced with a little extra glue), remote control to power on and change colors, and the power supply is easy to wire to a 12v system. Very little draw, and they can easily be connected together to get long strips of lights.

Here's what they looked like aboard:
