If you don't mind, once it's arrived and you've checked it out, I'd be interested in hearing how well it performs and if it's quality is great.
Thanks!
Also, thanks to Mike for the warm welcome. This really is a great forum with a ton of great attitude.

The edge strip arrived today and I was a little disappointed to be honest.
I received 300mm of aluminium extrusion, 2 plastic end caps and a mains powered (240V) LED strip.
It wasn't so much the product as the way it arrived. Just thrown in a plastic mailing sack, nothing more.
I would have at least expected it to be bubble wrapped or something, the extrusion was marked and tatty. It is made for 8mm (5/16") acrylic or glass.
The LED strip had about a 12" wiring tail which I thought was next to useless. I changed this for a piece about 3 ft long with a plug on it.
There was no passageway for the wiring to enter the extrusion so I had to drill the rear side and fit a rubber grommet.
The end result is acceptable, but only because of the extra work I did. It was on the pricey side, with delivery and VAT it ended up costing £38.00, thats without any acrylic or glass to go in it, too expensive to be able to make a reasonable return on.
The extrusion would need fixing down or wall mounting as with anything more than a few inches high of acrylic/glass, it wouldn't be stable free standing.
Anyway, it is what it is and you make of it what you want. I'll be seeking an alternative for sure.
Dave.
