I built a simple roombox, painted the inside black, and mounted a strip of ExtraBrite LEDs on some E-215 light support material, which I attached inside the roombox with double sided tape.
The ExtraBrite LEDs are bright
The figurines in the roombox above are illuminated with one strip of ExtraBrite LEDs the full width of the roombox, mounted behind the top trim. In this case, I did the wiring with solidwire because I wasn’t going to add any fixtures later. I used the E-239 connector (another question on my StickyNotes), and wired it up to an old CirKit 1009B 5 watt Power Supply I had laying around.
Sure enough, the lights had a just-barely-detectable flicker.
Now, I have done many many displays with ExtraBrite LEDs with nary a flicker… what’s different here? When I switched to a Power Supply from a CirKit Large House wiring set which was close bye, the light was steady and perfect.
