Car LED Lights – Strips To Make Your Car Futuristic

led light strip in carMost newer cars from the showroom come built in with LED strips around the interior. These really do make the car look cool and futuristic.

Even if your car hasn’t got a built in LED strip around the edges; you can buy a strip kit which is specifically designed for the car. They either come with a USB power port which can be plugged into the cigarette lighter or they come with a specific cigarette lighter port.

The car seats, glove compartment and the footwells of your vehicle will look very nice and you can even change colours with a remote or using your phone (if you went for the Bluetooth version) so you can control the lighting to reflect your mood.

Another great feature for the Bluetooth strips is that you can even program them to “dance” to music. So using the music from your phone, the lights will flicker and flash to the beat or to the voice if there is no music – so there is a lot of cool things you can do with them.

LED Light Strip For The TV

LED strip lighting has become an increasing popular way to make renovations and improvements to your home without having to splash out too much cash. They can create a warm glow effect around doors, above coving or around cupboards, draws or cabinets. You could also use them on books selves to create a subtle feature r use them to highlight items you wish to show off.

If you are going for a feature or accent lighting effect then you will need to have a wattage of about 5 to 10 is sufficient as this will create a halo or glow effect. 15 and 20 watts of power will provide you with a much brighter light and this can even be used as a workable light. If you are using a multi coloured set f lights then 7.5 watts is best for an accent lighting effect and 15 watts will be brighter and can be used as a workable light under the right colour conditions.

The possibilities with these little lights is almost endless and thanks to the range of colours and brightness. You can also use them to create a working light such as around a desk or vanity mirror or even under kitchen units. These kits are probably the easiest way to stall LED lights in your own home as they come with everything you need to have them up and running in no time at all. Also, because they are full kits there is no need to mess around with the electrics, which is an added bonus.

Some examples of strip light kits are as follows:
