Now how about getting the underhang extended down the thickness of the tile so the strip doesn't leave the leading edge of the cut exposed ? Shame, so close to me not criticising it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yup So the tile is behind / under it. Better way to seal it all too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) So...the 4-pin black plug cut off the LED light strip and put to one side. The IR sensor cut off of the white driver module and fitted inside the actual light strip itself using cores 1,2 & 3 of the 7-core extension. These 3 cores pass thru the pre-drilled hole in the end cap. Also coming out of the same hole (it's tight ) are the 4 wires that originally went to the 4-pin plug. These are soldered to cores 4,5,6 and the cpc. Heat shrink is the original colours - blk/red/grn & blu. Edited January 4, 2017 by Onoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) So this maybe? I can bring 12mm ply down the front then infill with a 26x13.5 (aka 12mm) strip and some 6mm thick: Tbh that 16.5mm tile strip.....not sure.....if done well I guess..... Will mean sticking that back bit of tile up to the marine ply with something "thin" i.e. other than tile adhesive.

Construction Channel Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 i don't mean to pick holes but what are you going to fix the tile trims to? also we have very similar hand writing except if i had written it there would be the odd lower case letter just to confuse people usually in the middle of a word....

Onoff Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Ref @Nickfromwales idea; the red dashed hole is where I've my flexible conduit exit and it's immovable tbh. I wanted it to line up with the light strip really: I need to make a decision asap ref what tile trims to get. White, plastic quadrant is a given as that's what SWMBO wants. But with an 8mm tile do I go for 8 or 10 I just don't know.....I've shown the 10mm one. Edited January 5, 2017 by Onoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 2 hours ago, Construction Channel said: what are you going to fix the tile trims to? The trims get sikaflex'd to the tile and mitre bonded together. To stop them 'flapping', the reverse gets bonded to the rear of the alu LED profile. .

Going to have to go for this: Thinking that instead of 16.5mm wide tile I could mitre bond a bit of 16mm mini trunking between the two tile trims.

Onoff Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) I could angle a 20mm Starrett I guess to connect the two hole positions..... This 10mm Genesis pvc trim has a little lip. Can't see two trims abutting neatly because of this? Can't see how they'll butt neatly: Edited January 6, 2017 by Onoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, I'll wait till the trim arrives. Ordered 10 lengths just over £30 plus some external corners. Tempted to just glue a length of MT2 under there and be done with it! Half mulling whether I could run a length of 20mm round pvc through the table saw and use half as a 10mm radius capping with no joint! Sod's Law it'd be a different white!

PeterW Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just watch the adhesive on the led strips as it's pretty useless on some when it gets warm. Pound shop do 4 bottles of cyano and that's what I use to stick them onto the trims as otherwise they start to come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
