Just finished a small café linear lighting project for the counter and wall decoration:
Strip: 24V COB
Installation: Aluminum profile with diffuser
Total length: About 12 m
Power supplies placed under the counter
The overall effect is good, but I feel the wiring and mounting could be improved.
Questions:
- For this type of commercial space, is centralized or distributed power supply better?
- Is it better to fix the aluminum profiles with screws or adhesive?
- Any cleaner way to hide long cable runs?
Anyone with similar project experience is welcome to share.

This setup is already solid and works well.
Some practical suggestions:
-
Power layout
For around 12 m, splitting into two power zones is better than full central supply. It reduces voltage drop and improves stability.
-
Profile fixing
For commercial spaces, screws are more reliable than adhesive and easier for future maintenance.
-
Cable routing
Run cables along cabinets, baseboards, or inside ceilings for a cleaner appearance.
Your project is already good; these are just refinements toward a more professional finish.
