Hey folks! Since this video is taking off a few years down the road, I just wanted to drop a message. Thank you so so much for all your kind words. I'm speechless. This channel has always been something I've done time-permitting and evolved between different subjects. Most of all I'm really passionate about design projects. Interiors, products, anything thoughtful created. So in the next few months, stay tuned for more videos. I'm starting a blog and newsletter on lunationlab.com. I'm moving soon and will have a whole office space ready for projects. Exciting stuff! Talk soon. -Jackson

Quick tip to avoid the splitting of the wood. Drill pilot holes in the wood before using the wood screws. Pilot holes are drilled with drill bits that are typically the diameter of the screw minus the threads. Seems like more steps but it goes quick. And since the base board was mdf you only need the pilot holes in the wood.

@LunationLab 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip! I do have small drill bits I could have done that with. You're totally right.

@eflizotte Месяц назад

It’s important to note that as length increases, voltage will drop and the tape will start to progressively dim… it’s a good idea to test first and find that diminishing point so you know where to start a new strip to minimize the effect of the voltage drop. In some applications, with the use of a 2>1 cable, you can split the power and send it to both sides of the strip. This varies based on if you’re using a dimmer ahead of the tape or not

@a11aaa11a День назад

Great video! It looks great. A few notes from someone who has done a lottt of LED lighting: (1) 24 V is almost always better than 12 V so you can use longer strands without becoming dim at the end (2) Get high-CRI lights, otherwise the color of people and other things in the room will be off, usually quite significantly (3) Get variable color temperature lights so you can vary them based on time of day and improve your circadian rhythm (4) Get a zigbee controller so you can integrate with your smart home (Home Assistant is the best!)

dude i genuinely can’t believe this channel only has 5k subs from an amazing video from 2 years ago. this is such a peculiar but insanely formal, and entertaining video. The editing, the camera quality, the lighting (ironic, in a video studying aesthetic lighting lol) it’s all so tasteful!!! thank you so much for sharing this when you did. always know that just cuz a video didn’t blow up right away, it also isn’t voided from blowing up and being seen in the future. so always create. always share. keep doing. the payoff is undeniably worth it in the end. thank you.

Just a heads up, if the power supply is sending dc, you may end up with low voltage/flickering leds if your wire is too long. Dc is like throwing a baseball.

@needamuffin 3 дня назад

My problem with things like this is the depth. I love the idea, but 2in baseboards are a huge no-go for me, especially since I already have .75in baseboards in my place with 1in quarter-round. I need a solution that minimizes the depth so that 1) it is easier to install without having to move everything in my apartment and 2) it looks better. It'd also be nice to be capped so that dust and debris can't get down in the cavity.

Honestly, inverting this and mounting it in the ceiling I think would look so much cooler. Don’t get me wrong, it does looks cool. But I think mounting this in the ceiling can make it look like a proper built-in recessed lighting

@Kyouske_42 9 дней назад

Nice project, I appreciate your perspective on the topic of indirect lighting with inexpensive methods. But I saw too many rookie mistakes with the LED tape. You bought tape that's overmolded for water resistance, which is unnecessary indoors and more expensive. You also should use 24V tape and PSU if you have longer strips, especially if you extend on the low voltage side. If you wanna spend just a little, more you can buy LED COB strips, which are a true generational improvement over the (still cheaper) individual LEDs on the strip. Also, a CCT variant has two different color temperatures and lets you choose anything in between with a suiting dimmer. Lastly, you showed the extension being screwed down with bare strands, this is not great. Soldering is the cleaner solution if you get the barrel connectors on a piece of wire.

@santiagolorenzo3374 5 месяцев назад
