tons of kobo models
yeah calibre
not sure which one to get
Oh didn't know if you had a recc
Kobo is really really expensive tho. They're like $100-$200
So does anyone have any opinions on the best LED light strip to get from Ali
beige keyboards are BEAUTIFUL
daily reminder
@Drunk Octopus any 5050 (24V) RGBs probly
I can get a NOOK for $50 and a Kindle for $70-$80 but kobos are super expensive
depends what you want from the lightstrip
RGB, waterproof not necessary (will just be under kitchen cabinets), bonus points for some form of control from my phone, and since this is CSG, not expensive
(ofc real answer is high cri (90+), 5050 (industrial highcri option for that 800 lumens),high HZ for smooth as fuck color change, etc)
Also just to make it more annoying, this is my first foray into this sort of lighting
but if its indirect mood light you can get 5050 with 170-500 lumens per foot
i dont suggest using "Internet of Shit" app lights as they are veryveryvery shittily protected
just one with the "manual (read remote)" controller
Gotcha.
how much of cabling we are talking about
4 or 40 meters
I'm starting off with just some accent lights for the kitchen
Not trying to line my apartment witth it
you want it color changing or stabile X color ?
Suggestions on both, because I think i could use the color changing for holiday lights
I don't want it to be one color all the time if thats what you mean. The ability to change the color is what I'm looking for
I've considered looking at smart lights from Ali et al but I get a weird feeling connecting chink products to my wifi like that
are you planning using diffuser (smoother light (no spots) but you need more lumens for same effect)
aka just sanded plexiglass or such in front of leds
wondering about that beginer suitable so you get nice looking from it too
if you want "install and use" style of setup anything 5050 RGB what is manufactured by "epistar" is safe bet
and sure ali "certifications" mean jack shit
but CE,RoHS,CCC is always good to have
Hm, got a Pi Zero from my brother today.
Yeah install and use setup is best for right now, and if I like the way it comes out I might go more into it
ironic
Any chinky addons I need for it?
earlier we were talking about paracord and the paracord i ordered like 3 weeks ago came in
and for when you want to go more into it @Drunk Octopus "neopixel" is the searchterm from adafruit.- those cost way more but are way fancier and smooth as fuck
@Windatica Anything else you're waiting for that you'd like us to summon for you?
yeah, one cheeseburger and small fries
