Building the FlipFlop
For thouse who might just jumped in, or isn't sure what im talking about.
A flipflop is simply just a electromagnetic relay switch, that diverts power switching between two poles.
Im using this, as the cabinets will only run 12/12.
And the supplyer of the strips, ran out of the drivers incl. in the price of the strip.
Anyway it will alow me to run twice as many strips, as I have drivers.
First I wired up the 12V coils, by mistake I ordered 12V DC and not 220V AC relays (will switch them later).
Why I didn't use black n red wires to indicate 12V DC
When the timer turns on the small 12V "LED driver" all the relays will switch, from A to B position. Once it turns off, the relay will flip back to A position.
Next was wiring the Drivers and LED strips, made a small explanation picture, on the first driver connected to two strips.
Once everything is connected, it will look like a mess and hard for find head's n tails in.
Im only breaking the positive wire, both the neutral wire from the Left and Right side. Is connected to the neutral wire, of the driver running them and tuged behind the relays. As long there where room, it is a lot of wires to fit in a small space and fuck it.
In the end, it will be covered up!
Yes it have taken some time, and it might look more complicated then it really is.
Cost of the relays needed for this was 36$, the 220V relays I have ordered to replace them is a bit more, but not much.
It basicly saves me 3 MeanWell drivers, and I do plan to switch the many indevidual drivers to a MeanWell or another quality brand.
But then I will still only need 3 drivers, to run 6 lights and less relays will be needed.
It have cleaned up really nice, getting the majority of the cables tugged out of the way.
Still not done, wiring the electrics but the FlipFlop is now working.
