-In addition I designed a smaller white LED circuitboard, with an FPC connection. Each LED driver can connect up to 8 of these, but only 4 in series due to current limitations of the FPC cables. This isn't any problem, as the LED driver PCB is positioned in the middle, giving us acces for 2 x 4 white LED PCB's on each side. Totaling 32 white PCB's, with 6 LED's each.   +I additionally designed a smaller white LED circuitboard, with two FPC connections. Each LED driver can connect up to 8 of these, but only 4 in series due to current limitations of the FPC cables. This doesn't form any problem, as our LED driver PCB is positioned in the middle. This gives us access to connect 2x4x4 LED PCB's, or 32 LED PCB's in total. Each white PCB contains 6 cold white and 6 warm white LED's.

-The installation was rather easy, using nearly invisible fish-wire with decent weight rating.  +The installation was rather easy, using nearly invisible fish-wire with decent weight rating. The LED's are however extremely bright on max setting, thus are mostly used around 15 to 40% intensity. 
  
 +I also added a little bash script on my Linux desktop, so that:
 +  * Pressing F9-F10, changes the light temperature up/down
 +  * Pressing F11-F12, changes the light intensity dim/brighter
 +  * Holding shift when pressing the above buttons, changes the second ceiling lights configuration.
