I have a frame for some artwork that I did, the problem is there isn't enough light for where I want to put it. I have looked online but I haven't found exactly what I am looking for, or anything I can modify to make what I need.
I was looking to use a short 10 inch long strip of LED lights, similar to these (https://www.amazon.com/Double-Densi...UTF8&qid=1368637733&sr=1-12&keywords=stip+LED)
This product is sold in 12 inch strips, and each strip consumes 6 watts. I would look to shorten the strip to 10 inches and attach it to the underside of the 2 inch thick frame. I would drill a small hole in the back of the frame so that I could run the wire to the battery pack and transformer at the bottom of the frame. I am lost to as what transformer to use,(something small), if i even need a transformer for something that runs off AA batteries, or what I might need to put it all together.
The lights wouldn't be on 24/7, but only periodically to highlight the art when someone wants a better look. The transformers I have seen for LED's are all quite large for my project, and I am looking to keep everything to a minimum so as to not add weight or make the power pack very noticeable.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I cam make this work? and where I might be able to get parts for my project.
a parts list and instructions or a webpage with a guide, or any information would be very helpful.
Thanks guys!
