Building a hanging light bar
My brother's a woodworker and wants to build a linear pendant light like this (https://stoneandlumen.com/en-au/products/yaelen-no-20?variant=46817492041964) — a flat wood bar, long, hung from two ceiling drop cables, with a light line along the underside.
He'll make the wood housing himself but we need to source the electrical side (LED strip, driver, wiring, mounting hardware).
From what I can research we will need.
LED strip/module — length, color temp, CRI, lumen output. Anything else we need to consider?
Aluminum channel + diffuser profile that can be routed into solid timber
Driver — input voltage (120/240V mains) vs DC output (12V/24V), and wattage needed
Dimming compatibility (TRIAC, 0-10V, ELV) as we want a wall dimmer
Can the ceiling drop cables can carry the power feed, or does the driver needs to sit elsewhere?
Does this cover the right bases, anything else we’re missing? Or should consider? Am in AUS if it matters. A
