I made a few lamps similar to those. One neat thing to do is stick aluminium foil on the back side, so that you get less light absorbed by the matte wood surface

@KaleoMgmt 5 лет назад

Love these. I took the concept from the first one, and added two small shelves: one longer one on the bottom for an Echo Dot and BT Speaker and a smaller one on top with a routed slot for a cellphone. It's now the entertainment center and night light for my daughters. They love it!

@soniccinos Месяц назад

Love that they stick to this video format!

@Iskelderon 6 лет назад

Great work! You might want to mention that it's usually a good idea to wrap that connection between the LED strip and the controller in heat shrink tubing, because that link tends to shake loose over time.

@Nerdforge 6 лет назад

That's a good tip!

Core out the 2x2, coat the inside in reflective paint, double over 2 led strips in the middle, fed through the back

@ryzo-rin3619 5 лет назад

For more lighting on the last lamp you could add mirrored material and feather out the inside carving a little bit more.

You should make a hand print/accses thing where you put your hand on a surface and it will open a door or unlock something :P

@fitchyfpv225 5 лет назад

With the one with 3 panels you should mix up the colors so switch red to green when wiring cuz either way it's still a negative :) Nice vid!

@georgsarlin7894 5 лет назад

How did you put them on the wall?

@MarinStipkovic 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video. One question though: must I tin the strip connection points before soldering the wires onto them?

@Nerdforge 6 лет назад

I always do that because it makes everything a lot easier and quicker, so I'd definitely recommend it :) - Martina

@fxnx38 6 лет назад

Awesome! What kind of paint did you use?

@Nerdforge 6 лет назад

Mahogny stain

@JoeHobot 3 года назад

Just a suggestion: you can also get usb kinds and then connect to powerbank. No wall wires :) Bit more work long term but for 10hrs of light a day its nice

@music42380 6 лет назад

With the first lamp, did you connecy the two boards together so they were powered/synced together? I'd so, how did you hide the cable

@acbphoenix3037 2 года назад

I've never worked with leds or soldering before, and I was wondering if you know any easy things to start off with before doing more complicated stuff?

@bradenhopkins8017 4 года назад

how did you keep a circuit? Did you put wires behind the wall or something? Are they wifi or something crazy? Like where is their source of power?

@SkyWolfSkydive 5 лет назад

Wonderful video, I just moved into a very small dark apartment I am I’m going to teach myself to solder and do this! My question is if I need to run a long distance of the four wires to extend to different RGB strips can I do this with the same power adapter that comes with one strip?

@jackies_world 5 лет назад

Depends on length and amount of LEDs on the strip. The power supply may need to go up to 5A vs 2A. Those have a more brick like appearance than a small power supply she's using here.

@r00yce 3 года назад

How's the first one attached to the wall? Any special brackets or so?

@ericscott2173 4 года назад

Have you found any controllers that will allow you to conect with bluetooth so you can get rolling lighting effects (using an android app) like you can with some of the Philips Hue colored RGB lights?

Where is the plug?

@BrandonsBees 6 лет назад

I find the regional differences of woodworking terms very interesting. You call them 2 by 1's and we call the 1 by 2's in The States. Do you use the metric system in Norway? If so, what are they called in the metric system? Just curious.

@Nerdforge 6 лет назад

Yes, we use the metric system in Norway, but strangely we still use the terms 2 by 2 etc. when talking about wood dimensions like this. I mean, when you buy it at the store usually the metric dimensions is what's written on the label, but we always use 2 by 1 etc. in our everyday language. No idea why that is, though.

@faitaza5354 6 лет назад

Is the led stripe adressable ?

@NathanSalapat 6 лет назад

LED strips like this are not, all colors on the strip will be the same color. The addressable version will have three wires, power, ground, and data. If there are four wires, power, R G B the entire strip will always light the same color, or very close anyway, the LEDs will probably have some small degree of variance due to the low tolerances kept in manufacturing.

@faitaza5354 6 лет назад

thank you very much!!!!!
