Some people would like to install led sensor cabinet light under the kitchen. To make lighting battery when we are working in the kitchen. And sensor cabinet light is a very hot product.

As we know above, the battery box is DC12V. Then we need to check if your sensor led cabinet light input is DC12V. If the input is DC12V, then the connect way is the same. Just connect the cabinet light positive and negative to the battery positive and negative.

We need to make sure which wire is positive and which wire is negative from the battery. If you are not familiar with the car wires, you have battery driving your car to the car shops and as then to connect the wires for you.

As we know the bigger battery, the bigger capacity. Then when you are using the same led strip light, the bigger battery will power a long time.

When you are using the same battery, the smaller power led strip light, the battery will use longer.

Just like our mobile phone, when we are using the new phone, the battery can use 2 days. After we are using 1 year, it only can use 1 day. Then same as the strip light battery, new battery will use longer, the old battery will using a shorter time.

Not advanced of battery operated led strip light.

As we know, batteries can not always have power. The battery will out of power when you are using some time. So you need to change a battery or need to recharge the battery. Sometimes, if you forget to change the no power battery, you can not use the led strip light.

So I suggest, If the place hardwired convenience, you have battery using power supply to power the led strip light. Then you not need to think about if the battery has the power or not.

When you are using a battery, you have a battery check the battery every 6 months. Because the battery has some chemical substances. It will divulge usually. And it will damage our battery box, that is why we need to check-in the plan.

  1. My name’s Marcelo and I’m always looking for new things to learn and hopefuly make money with. Today I watched a video of a guy transforming the Nike logo on a pair of Nike Airforce. He basically made the logo glow using a strip of rgb powered by a single small battery which he hid inside the sole of each shoe. To make it even cooler, the guy could even change the color through an app on his phone. It clicked in my head and I became really interested in how I could make that. The problem is I have absolutely 0 knowledge about lights and electricity and batteries and well.. none of that to put it simple. My very first question is if there’s any small strip of rgb attached to a battery on the market?

    Also,

    Is o¿it necessary to have the 12V in order to light up a shortened Led stripe?
    What I mean is that, I want to use a 15cm of the led strip but do I need to have the 12V in order to light it up?

    Sorry for my poor English

  3. I want to make shiny reflection box with LED wired lights for concentration of the amount of light output with a switch. I have a deep cycle 12v battery and a 12v solar panel for day time. I need this light to play cards or other activities when PG&E has shut offs. Does it it need a current Stabilizer for flicker? I’d like about 8hrs of running time. How many LEDs at what output for light of a normal 20-40w incandescent bulb.
