These look like 5050 rgb lights, so something like this controller and a 12v (assuming they're 12v) power supply will work SUPERNIGHT IR Remote Controller 44 Keys for RGB LED Light Strip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AF5YOK2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bNRCybGME5ZMG

I literally just had a bunch of these. Would've sent you one.

Yes, but the specifics of that will depend on which controller you buy. I'm actually doing something almost identical- hooking the lights up to a timer.

When power is restored, they resume whatever setting and brightness last used.


The item I linked to in my album wasn't the actual one I bought, it was just something similar I found an Amazon link to quickly. They're probably identical, but this is the model of LED controller that I have.

I am using

CableMod WideBeam Foam RGB LED Kit - 60cm
CableMod WideBeam Foam RGB LED Strip - 30cm

The 60 cm goes from partly up the rear to the front on the bottom. The 30cm is next to the radiator at the top. Now for the RGB controller I am not using the one in the kit. I mainly bought the kit to get a SATA to barrel connector but it had some other useful wires too. I am using a SUPERNIGHT IR Remote Controller as it allows for your own preset colors. If you go this route you need to make sure to change I believe the red and blue wires as they are reversed on the CableMod strip. They included short extensions with my kit so I reversed them on that.

My previous build had just SUPERNIGHT RGB LEDs and I must say the CableMod ones are much better. I want to find out a way to get the CPU area lit without seeing the RGB strips.

Yes, you will need a power supply and a controller of some kind (similar to what came with the original kit).

I searched Amazon with the term "LED strip controller" and found this which should work fine . It's even the same brand as what you have (not that it's critical to do that)

Here's some connectors with wire and plugs on amazon if you prefer to order from there.

It's all pretty standard stuff for the most part.

Have fun

I don't think there's a buying guide, unfortunately

I'm going to use this Power Supply with this Adapter for this LED String along with this RGB Controller

Looking at the same seller I would assume http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AF5YOK2?cache=e1a325f8c3bf6ffbea46c3cacc5fc863&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&qid=1404644882&sr=8-5#

Ah okay, thank you. I was looking at something like this:

But I'm assuming I have to buy 3 of them since they only have 1 cord.

That's cute. I got one of these bad boys:

If the blinds are not automated, there might also be a light strip for accent lighting.

I actually saved a ton of cash by just buying a cheap roll of color changing LEDs and a IR reciver attachment on amazon, then programming the remote buttons into the harmony hub no need for Z waving the strip if the hub is right next to the strip anyways ....

Hue is also Unbelievably low tech for the price tag, there are light strips that have individual ICs allowing you to set specific colors on every led separately.

if you go hue strip route , no, you dont need a bridge, you can easily communicate ST <> Harmony <> Hue.

Edit - words

Would something like this work? I'm assuming the strips are about like most LED strips in the way they connect, so if that did work they'd work separately from the LIFX controls but you'd at least be able to get some use out of them.

Hooked up to that one? No idea, but they all look like this kind SUPERNIGHT (TM) IR Remote Controller 44 Keys for RGB LED Light Strip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AF5YOK2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oO0HAbX05JRHY
