Pics taken this morning. Voltage is dialed down low for dawn effect. Typical forward voltage for maximum current of around 900mA for most of the LEDs is between 9-12 volts. I've never run them any higher than 9 volts.

The trim is held on by tape just to give an idea. Not sure whether I'll try to glue it on or use small ss screws. I tried the hot glue gun & that's how the corner pieces are attached, but one fell off already. The hot glue didn't allow me to press the pieces fully flush so that made the long pieces impossible to attach securely. Might try epoxy.
