Led lighting strips Rectifier question

I would like to put some Led strip lighting in some of my coaches. I have a Massoth Central Station with my Track voltage set to 22v dc, Track current output 12 amps.

If I wire two 12v led strips in series, would this split the supply voltage in half, so 11 volts each strip ?
Assume I will need a Full wave bridge rectifier for flicker free lights ?
If so what type of rectifier is required and does anyone have a simple wiring diagram as I haven’t done this before.

Also, do I also need a Capacitor to store energy ? What size and how is it wired ?
Would a bridge rectifier and capacitor the only components I would need ?

Thanks
Alison

Wiring in series will work as you mention.

A bridge rectifier will work to give you full wave DC, but a diode will work just as well.

For either rectifier or diode make sure it has a 24V rating, 30V even better.

A capacitor will help smooth the DC, again a 30V rating best. You will need to allow for polarity if an electrolytic type. 100uF would work across the output of the bridge rectifier.

Have a look at EBay for AC-DC converters rated at 24V. There are plenty of ready made circuits for £3-4....
