[QUOTE="Barlew, post: 499958, member: 32994"] Hello, I’ve built a lean-to in our garden and wish to add some lighting. I’ve had experience with addressable LED strips, namely WS2811’s, so wanted to use these. Previously I’ve built an internal display running from a power supply, but now I want to wire them into an existing light switch we have for an outside light. To control the LED’s I will be using an SP108E Wifi controller (I’ve using the SP105E Bluetooth before). [B]WS28111’s[/B] >IP67 >60 LED per metre >20 metre string >Data sheet: https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/WS2811.pdf [B]SP108E Wifi controller[/B] >Working Voltage DC5V – 24V >Working Current 20mA – 90mA https://www.amazon.co.uk/BTF-LIGHITNG-WS2812B-Controller-Support-APA102C/dp/B07DVJ568C My question is how do I go about wiring these into the mains lighting? Will I need an IP67 transformer and would I need a Fuse Connection Unit? I live in the UK and will be getting a registered electrician to certify any work. Thanks, Barry [/QUOTE]
