Here’s another pic I promised Cameron earlier when he was asking about my line voltage LED light strips. I had them slopped up just to get some illumination, but needed to go back and tune how the “cable” sits in the clips.
Basically, I treat the LEDs in the cable as if it’s a long row of tiny spotlights. It’s designed for use in installations where the light will go 180 degrees away from the mounting surface. But you can use the supplied clips and various Xmas tree light holders to twist the cable so it points where you want it to go, within reason. Any clips and pressure applied to the cable must treat it with care. You don’t want to damage it
It’s a little hard to describe, but I showed how I do this in some pics on the second page on my Night Scene thread. Along with lots more info, this is at:
