INTRO.
My friend Justin, wanted my help to make a LED
Tube Light, so this is the result for all of you to see.
The tube light is a row of LED's which runs on 110
or 220 volts AC, just like your ordinary Fluorescent
Tube Light.

In this Step take a 2 inches width and 4 feet long


PVC concealed wiring batten.
Fix two rows of 15+15 LED's at a gap of 1 inch.
This 30 LED make one segment.
Fix 3 SEGMENTS of 90 LED's as shown in the
Photographs.
Follow the Circuit Diagram in detail.
The gap between the LED's should be 1 inch so as
to cover the 4 feet of PVC batten.
The 3 segments should be connected in parallel to
the house AC outlet. (110 volts)
Put an on-off switch before connecting to the
house outlet.
Your Tube light is ready.
Switch it on and enjoy the soft light.

What do you mean by '2 inches width and 4 feet long PVC
concealed wiring rigid batten.'
I'm not sure what this is

I have a question. Why two LED's are connected back to
back? (and such 15 pairs in series) If we connect 15
LDE's in series (all +ves in 1 direction) & another 15
LED's in series (all -ves in same direction) & and then
connect these two rows in parallel, will it work?
Thanks.
