[Swansea Hackspace] LEDs strip lighting

[Richard Morgan]

I have a conservatory that requires lighting - it's a bit dark in these
Winter months.

I'm looking to put LED strips across the roof beams and was wondering about
using LED strips but not sure how much light they would give off at a
distance though. I also like the RF controller idea for running them and
changing brightness / colours...

It's about 8.5ft high at the mid-point and I would likely run these up the
diagonal beams - about 11ft in length.

We would mostly be using the white colour but the option to change it for
kids parties etc would be cool.

Is this a dumb idea? Would they give off enough light at that distance?

All suggestions very gratefully received....
