After my big LED lamp https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3028375, now follows a small adjustable 2 to 80 inch version (all together 1.164 ounce filament).
- For wall or ceiling mounting.
- Power varies by ~ 6-12W per 40", depending on the LEDs used. It fit with ceiling mounting 17 of these lamps on a square, which ~ 204W / sqm can be achieved (but then should be paid to a good air circulation).
- Also ideal for aquariums (but only in the watertight version)

The assembly:
- Just put the pieces together as shown on the pictures!
- Fix the lamp at the connection points to the U-profile with "one" drop of super glue each time.
- At the side where you want to lead out the cables, drill a small hole in the profile and lead the cable through the middle of the U to the outside.
Stick the LED Lightstripes on, and then solder with the cable (reduces the risk of burning when soldering the stripe). Make sure that there is no short circuit to the aluminum at the contacts.
Need a fuse!?:

Nach meiner großen LED Lampe https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3028375 , folgt nun eine kleine einstellbare 10cm bis 2m Version (alles zusammen 33g Filament).
Auf dem Foto ist eine gedimmte 6W Version zu sehen (hatte gerade keinen anderen Light Stripe da)...
Einkaufsliste:

- Nur bei 1-2m System das dimmbar sein soll (für den Betrieb aber nicht notwendig): https://www.ebay.de/itm/12V-2A-LED-Dimmer-Controller-Regler-Fernbedienung-Einfarbig-Strip-Streifen-Licht/262091386634?hash=item3d05dd2f0a:m:mlJ_L7FT65mcAgam8bCZP8g
- Einfach die Teile wie auf den Bildern zu sehen zusammen stecken!
- Die Lampe an den Verbindungsstellen zum U-Profil mit jeweils "einem" Tropfen Sekundenkleber fixieren.
- An der Seite wo ihr die Kabel herausführen wollt ein kleines Loch in das Profil bohren, und das Kabel durch die Mitte des U nach außen führen.
- Die LED-Lightstripes aufkleben, und erst dann mit dem Kabel verlöten (verringert das Risiko das Euch beim Löten der Stripe verbrennt). Achtet darauf das es an den Kontakten keinen Kurzschluss zum Aluminium gibt.
Vielleicht noch eine Sicherung dazu!?:
