    LED strip lighting: What do I need besides the light strip?

    This is not quite darkroom; my darkroom and workroom are the same.

    I have an available standard AC outlet and would like to hook up a strip like this

    over a work area. I don't know if it would be bright enough; maybe I need to get individual standard-base LED bulbs But if teh strip will work, I know the lights are DC, so a converter and/or power supply is needed. who can tell me what else I need as a non-electrical-wiring person?

    Thanks.

    I am not sure what you intend to use this for (task light, viewing light?), but at 14W over 16 feet it may be too dim.

    Thanks, friends. I have decided to use a pair of legacy shape" LED bulbs, partially bounced. It's for a work table area.
