• My kitchen cabinets overhang my counter creating a dark hole in the back corner. This project will fix that.

• Plan is to drive the LED strip with a mosfet controlled by an Arduino
• Plan is to have a touch pad to toggle the strip on and off.

  • 8.75" has 27 LED's which consume ~ 135ma @12.8vdc
  • a 12vdc wall transformer

  Change of Plans:

  • SO ... didn't like the 'harsh' blue-ness of the DayLight color of these LED's, so bought new ones:
  • 'Warm White' 3250K
  • NFLS-WW60X3-WHT-LC2 from SuperBrightLED's
  • Used same drive circuit.

  • However also tried this mosfet drive circuit:
