This is a case for a very small DC power supply circuit board that is inexpensive and available in a variety of voltages. There is an option to include a common IR sensor that will power the PSU for a selectable time. The IR version includes an optional cavity to encapsulate a "classic" US appliance plug. Most versions have the option to add pegboard mounting tabs.
Background
I needed some short lengths of light strip style lighting, and I was unimpressed with the appearances and performance of the thousands of inexpensive light strip products on Amazon (e.g.). I need lots of lumens, and the nice looking battery units don't deliver. Given that I cannot easily hide the power source, the looks of the power supply and cables are a factor.
I have plenty of good quality scraps of LED strips, so I came up with this solution. The IR sensor works on the line AC input, with the output wired to the PSU input. The PSU is only powered when the sensor is triggered.
