Tools / workbench utilities
Turn a product shortlist into a buildable system.
Estimate the electrical starting point, identify an addressable LED path and keep the supporting BOM visible before you request a sample.

Power + fuse planner
Use nominal load, cable headroom and a conservative supply estimate to frame the next wiring question. Confirm the exact product data and local electrical requirements before installation.

Use the printed marking as a starting point. Confirm voltage, data direction, color order, channel count and the exact hardware revision on the shortest known-good section before scaling.
Tool / 02
LED IC identifier
Addressable strips that look alike can use different timing, voltage, channel count or color order. Use the marking as a starting point, then verify the shortest known-good section and record data direction.

BOM builder / system handoff
A project-ready BOM names the light, control path, power, mechanical parts and the evidence still required. Select records in Products, then add the variants to your Build list.
Strip, neon, fixture or module with voltage, channel count and LED IC recorded.
WLED, Zigbee, ESPHome, DMX or another path matched to the exact light engine.
Voltage, current, headroom, fuse branch and mains boundary kept in the same BOM.
Profile, diffuser, cable, connector, enclosure, spare and reset access.
