I've used this to make a sign for a friend as a present. Regarding the brightness, I bought a strip with power supply that also incorporated a power switch that also dimmed the strip, you just hold your finger on the touch sensitive button.

Been meaning to try a project with these light strips! Love it. I think the hanging cord looks better because it seems like every bar light just has the cord dangling as well. Seems like a subtle yet vital part of the aesthetic.

As someone else already mentioned, it does remind me of the 80's arcades. I spent a lot of time there as a kid. Also, they always had a cord hanging down. I keep thinking of things I can do with this. One being incorporating this into my new office desk/hutch design. Thank you again for a great video. Once again, I Learned Something.

DP, huge fan, watch all your videos. I do a bunch of stuff like this for streamers using LED strips and such. If you wanted to eliminate the cord altogether, you could wire a battery pack to that instead of plugging it in. It's so cool that this was your first time doing freehand routing! Looks great!
