Robin,
The electronics stores now sell reels of surface mounted LEDs on continuous flexible circuit board thin strip (about 10mm) which is sticky backed, you can buy it by the metre.
Simply cut it to length, bare back the two 12v power rails at one end and solder some wires or use dedicated terminal blocks and add power one end and stick the stuff to whatever you want.
I am not sure how reliable the glue is through an Aussie summer, but fixing it down is easy enough.
Each LED section has its own independent power regulator.
There are some that are "outdoor proofed" - these have a clear flexible plastic coating along the whole strip and can be used under verendah rails etc for concealed architectural lighting.
Some of them are also dimmable - just be sure to get the right version (as some are not)
You can get all colours inc Red and White.
Havent seen a colour selectable version - that would be handy !
Cheers
Rally
