For this patio lighting project, we used 40' of our Cool White LED Flex Strip (About 2 1/2 of our 16' rolls). We used its self adhesive SMD backing and stuck it on the wall just below the roof. It produces a nice bright light similar to that of a fluorescent; however it comes on instantly even in cold in cold weather! |

Details and Other Ideas |
| Cool White LED Flex Strip 24v | You could also use the warm white LED or RBB LED strips. However, for this project the goal was to simply light the patio, so we chose the brightest strip (our cool white LED strip). All of the rolls are connected end to end and the feed wires are spliced in between the middle rolls. |
| 18-4 Wire | Since this is a single color LED strip, it only needed 2 of the wires but since we have 4x in the control cable and the transformer was 30' away from the middle of the strips (where the power is fed to), we decided to take advantage of the extra wires to help reduce voltage drop. To do this we connected both the red and white together and the black and green together. |
| 96W 12v Power Supply | For the long runs we used a large power supply (in stock but not on our site). It was connected to a regular wall switch so it only has off and on but you could add a PWM Dimmer between the transformer and the LED strips (you could use a remote key-chain or wall mount dimmer). |

For this entrance stairway, there are 3x of our 5w EU-27 Cool White LED replacement bulbs (which simply screw into a normal 60W fixture). |
