Has anyone used LED's to light their layout? I bought a case of LED fixtures from China, but with a 60% failure rate, I'm not going to use them. Now I'm thinking about using the LED's that come on a reel with about 16' of adhesive backed strips per reel. My plan is to install metal corner beads on the ceiling tile framework and adhere the LED strips to the corner beads. I may have to use 2 parallel strips per corner bead to get the light intensity that I need.
What I'm curious about, have any of you used such a method for lighting your layout? And if you have, how has it worked out for you with my most interest in light intensity, coverage, and spacing. My layout room is about 62'x15', and a ceiling to layout height of 41".
Thanks for any input.
