LED LIGHT STRIP INFO, READ:
There are a lot of bait and switch tactics with LED light strips. A few things you want are:
5050 LEDs, not 3528 as they are smaller and put out less light
Make sure it's 600 LEDs per 10meters (300per 5 meters/16.4ft) and not sparsely spaced leds
Make sure it comes with a power supply
TEST everything before you spend the time running the light strips.



Q&A
How much did I use? I used all but 1 foot of LED strip from a 32.8ft set.

How much power does it draw? It consumes around 45 watts with White light and drops when only one color is illuminated. Cycling colors seam to be steady around 20 watts.

Can I unplug it? The controller remembers your last setting so you could put it on a timer or powered light switch and it will resume the mode/color you last has set.

How long did it take me to do this? Adding lights to just the top took under an hour. The rest of the box timed in around 10 hours of work(so much soldering).

Would I do it again? YES
Does Ginger like my tool box? She loves it.
