@kkanite6170 2 года назад

Great improvement! I think it may look even better if you were to lay a flat black sheet across the back instead of splitting them down each column. Ohh or perhaps some rgb led strips facing the wall behind/between each column. Then you can accent some ambient light for specific columns such as a red villain or rogue gallery column.

@FlabberQuestion 2 года назад

Good job, I just did this myself but went for RGB and dimmable. Also I made the strips longer than yours so it touches the metal frames on both sides, so it doesn't leave gaps on either side, 13.7 inch compared to 13 inch

Brilliant video, perfect solution to my concerns of having the LED light shine into my eyes, as well as the angle adjustment. I love what you've done and I'm going to try doing the same! Question on the Home Depot lights, do they come with dimmer? I like to vary how bright I make my cases. I don't see mention of dimmer capability so I might try another brand with dimmer, but love the concept. Thanks so much for the idea and inspiration!

How do you know what size to use?

@thejediknightswatch 2 года назад

You cut it to the size you need

@horrorfreak9653 2 года назад

Thanks! Last question. Where did you get that stand for your detolfs? It’s a perfect size to see all your figures nicely 🔥

@@horrorfreak9653 I custom made it out of 2x4 and 2x6 boards. Super easy build and I did do a video on it!😀

So no info regarding the set up of all the wires from the lighting kits 🤔

@thejediknightswatch 3 года назад

Sorry friend, I already had the wires ran previously, but there are a ton of videos on RU-vid on how to run them! 👍🏻😊

I cant even get a detolf every Ikea near me is out of stock and Ikea like a 1hr30 away from me smh

@thejediknightswatch 2 года назад

I’ve heard that a lot lately… no good! I’ll be ditching the detolfs and going to Moducase in the next couple of months.

DONT BUY THOSE LIGHTS. I have 9 Detolf with those lights and all are yellow now after 1 year of use. I had the same idea as this video using the V-Shap rails with defuser. THIS LIGHTS ARE GARBAGE
