/diy/ - Do It Yourself

This. If I wanted light I'd just get a 100W led lamp, an LED arch seems impractical, maybe it has some use for photography though.

I plan to convert my florescent tube lamp to an LED lamp like pic related, the assembly thing is water clear, but I don't know how to power the LEDs.
Is there a (efficient) way to power them directly from rectified 230 volts just limiting the current without any transformer? Or I'll have to buy a PSU?
I was thinking about storing the rectified 230v in a cap and using a 555 PWM dimmer circuit with a fixed maximum duty and a smoothing cap so the LEDs don't fry.
I guess there must be a better way to do this, no flickering pls.
I'm going to buy two 10W LEDs since 100 watts is way too much power.

I'm very proud of this
