Hello
I'm planning on building a grow/display box for a bonsai tree, but I need some advice on how to power it all..
I already got this led strip, I would like to use:
3014 SMD 600 leds 5M
Lumens Flux: 1200-1440
Color Tempature: Cool White 6000k-6500k
Power: 60W/5M
Supplied with: DC 12V 6A adaptor
But I also need to find some leds for the top/ceiling on the box. So I found this light, that I think would fit nicely in the box:
18W 5050SMD LED Day White Magnetic Panel Ceiling Lamp 220-240V AC
This is all the light I need (I hope)
The problem is I only want one power cable connected to the box and power the Led strip and the Ceiling Lamp , also the option to expand as I describe below:
In my search online for inspiration I've seen people use RPI and arduino to make stuff like soil humidity sensors etc.. I think it could be fun playing around with at a later time.. So I would love to have the ability to expand the setup with a RPI and arduino still powered from the main power cable..
I guess the DC 12V 6A adaptor supplied with the led strip wont work..
So what are my power options?
