ive just fitted my rented council garage with some lights (no power in there and only used for junk) , used 5 meters of ebay special led strips running off an old jump pack , i was quite surprised how well they worked and will last ages on 1 charge !

couple of these strips on a 12v power pack will chuck out plenty of light and not use much power

That doesn't look too bad!

Could you post up a link to the ones that you used please mate?
