Lamps and LED strip in the wooden ceiling

WOODEN CEILING WITH "FIRE" WITH YOUR HANDS
In one of the rooms of the house the walls and ceiling were lined with a lining. It so happened that the old chandelier did not fit in the updated interior. Decided to use Mortise lamps and diode tape.
Required: planed beam with a section of 50 × 20 mm, lining, fixing metal corners, nails 30 mm long, stop (spot) lamps 8 pcs. 10 m diode tape, RGB power supply for it, and a controller with a remote control.
Assembly and installation
I assembled a frame measuring 290 × 190 cm from a timber - a rectangular frame with two jumpers. To connect parts, I used corners and screws.
The frame was sewn up with a clapboard 300 cm long, alternately nailing boards one another. The first bar was attached to the frame so that it went beyond the outer border by 5 cm. A shield 300 × 200 cm in size was obtained.
Important!
The first crossbar should be leveled to avoid skewing, since then the entire structure can turn out uneven.
I took a pan of a suitable diameter and, attaching it to each corner, drew circles. The jig sawed the corners along the line.
Marked on the shield places for spot lights, cut openings for them and installed instruments.

The final part
To each luminaire I connected the wires and led them to the distribution junction box. From her led the wire to connect to the wiring.
Installed the frame of the shield between the corners fixed to the ceiling and fixed it with screws.
Note
Before you start to fill the lining, the frame must be attached to the ceiling and draw a place for its future installation (you can temporarily screw it to the ceiling with a few screws). Using the marking line, screw up the metal corners to the ceiling so that the second side of them lies close to the frame, and then remove the frame.
CONNECTING THE TAPE
Connected the power supply to the network 220 B. From it two wires connected to the controller. In the latter fixed a four-wire wire, and its free end soldered to the tape contacts. Secured the diode strip on the "shelf" between the ceiling and the shield (photo 1).
By the way
1. The power supply must be 25% more powerful than the current consumed by the tape.
2. To connect the controller you need a four-wire cable, but if it is not, you can use two pairs of telephone wires.
3. For an even glow, it is better to take the tape no longer than 5 m. A large strip may have uneven glow. If necessary, you can take a few pieces.
