you will need RGB controller + DC LED driver to driver your RGB LED strip. Remember to buy RGB 4 pin connectors if you need to splice the strip, otherwise you will have to link different sections by soldering wires. Find out the power consumption of you strip per meter and choose a suitable driver with ample output.

Hope this helps.

thx alot .. but do i need those 45 deg pvc truncking? as the led ribbon lights only have 120 deg beam angle compared to 180 deg for t5 ?

you can try position it at different locations inside the false ceiling to get the best effect.

You will need these items for RGB LED strips.

- RGB LED strip (about $25/m)

- 12V power adaptor (range $12 to $30)

- RGB color controller (about S$20)

Most color controller supports up to 10m of RGB LED strips.

You will need a booster if you need to connect longer than that.

12V power adaptor will depends on the length of your LED strips.

A typical RGB strip requires about 12V 0.5A per meter.

If you are running 5m RGB LED strip, you will be using 12V 2.5A.

So you will need to get a minimum of 12V 3A adaptor.

I would recommend a 12V 4A power adaptor or bigger rating.

If you have at home a power adaptor 10-13V, you can also use them instead of throwing the adaptor away.

Just ensure that the current is enough to power up your LED strips.
