Hey All - Sorry for what is probably a very basic question. We're planning on doing some beams on a ceiling, and I am hoping to recess some LED strips in a channel between the beams and the ceiling. Originally based on some comparisons and reviews I was going to run Philips OmniGlow strips for their brightness and dimmability. But because they haven't released the longer versions here in Canada, I started playing around with WLED, and frankly it's heaps better than Hue. So that's the path I want to go.
I really want a tunable white, and the capacity for a very bright light. Based on that I kind of narrowed it down to the BTF FCOB RGBCCT in either the 840 or 960 LED/m density. I ended up getting some of both, and in my rudimentary tests (Just my old ass eyes, and a smart plug that shows energy use in watts) they both appear to be around the same brightness and draw almost equal power. The difference in IC's is pretty miniscule as well.
A few Big Questions:
- Which one would you choose?
- Am I okay to run these in 6M lengths? What about in 12M lengths?
- What am I Missing? Anything Else I should consider? (Diagram Below)
