Its running off a 5v usb brick. I am trying to alluminate the way to the bathroom for my mom late at night so she won't trip or kick the household black cat. Also I ordered some PIR motion sensors to turn on the LED strip.
Note for you: phones aren't UL tested for safety. As I read it this morning, Their listing falls under UL110, a sustainability spec for product lifecycles. And a battery spec or two.
Nice project though! I've got a handful of LED strips, mostly in the kitchen and more lighting outside. One thing you might care about is to give your wled instance a station ip address.
It sounds awesome. First I would explain how difficult it is for low voltage to cause fires. If that doesn't work, maybe make a demo of a catastrophic failure (dead short) of your 5v brick, maybe he'll see that doesn't cause a fire. Or finally maybe encase the power brick and control circuitry in a metal container?
