[geeks] LED home lighting project

[Charles Shannon Hendrix]

For some time I've been wanting to build some light systems for various
areas at home, using LEDs.

For example, lighting the front of things like A/V equipment, computer
equipment, closets, and various places like that.

The traditional home lighting stuff is too bulky, and I don't like
things like the "light strings".

The only things I have found small enough and bright enough, have been
things like automotive spot lamps for clipping in the car, or various
light decorations for computers.

The automotive stuff is battery powered, and I'd hate to buy a bunch and
cut them up to run DC wiring.

The computer stuff is usually overpriced, or not quite the right thing
for lighting an area or piece of equipment.

I also would like to keep the lights hidden, or at least small.

I've done some experiments which were OK, so now I'm looking to do
something more permanent.

Ideas or sources appreciated.
