I used two strips of those for inside the portable garage that hides the hot tub.  Plenty of light, but too bright to look at.  You'll want to stick them to the top of a beam to provide indirect lighting.

6 volt transformers (about the size of a pack of cigarettes) are available to power them for about $6.  Mind is encased in a waterproof enclosure because of the humidity.

hi

The first and most frivolous part of the lighting parts has arrived - A wireless on/off remote dimmer - for the princely sum of £1.69 delivered. Its rated at 12A so I can control two strips together. Will likely buy more remotes and control them with just one controller. Operates at 433.92 MHz.

Hi

Power supply (12V 30A @£17-50) and three 5M LED strips, 300 led warm white (£3-80), 300 led cool white (£3-80) and 600 led cool white (£6-50). The strips can easily be shortened or joined with moderate soldering skills. Each segment consists of three leds in series with a current limiting resister. The warm white ones are quite unsuitable, taking almost as much current as the 600 led strip.  The 600 led cool white strip takes 2A at 12 V and seems very usable. It almost puts out the same light for a given length as an 80W fluorescent tube. The 300 cool white strip is 1A and half the light output.  I will try to get a better comparison after we have moved on the 20th May.

When I used them to light up my milling table I got a splitter lead for around £1 and a couple of on/off rocker switches,, well i think thats what they are called,, the type you get for turning on lamps ect,, that allowed me to mount a switch actually on the mill along with all its other controls

I bought a couple of 8-ft LED tubes in Dallas for $28 each.  Those two light up my whole shop about 800 sq ft.  I am going to add 10 more
