I ordered some COB LED strips from DX a while back and made high power LED drivers for them. I planned to use them at home since I already have an alternative power system (wind/solar) and off the shelf 12V LED lighting strips/bars aren't bright enough for me.
I used an 18" length of aluminum C channel and mounted the powersupply and two LED modules each and installed them on the ceiling. Turned out the two 16W LED strips from DX driven at only 1A was much brighter than the 40watt 4foot flouro tube in the ceiling. I had to turn it down to 550mA and it's still brighter. If interested, I can take Lux readings comparing the flouro tube and new LED lamp.
Check out the pics and here for details of the powersupply and lamp assembly.
