Nice look. Try hightemp hot glue or cyanoacrylate glue and/or predrilling for the screws.

Just a question: You now have a gap which will collect dust and you can actually see the light from above right ? Or am I missing something ? Thanks if you reply

This is incredible! Liked and subscribed

bro made a ten minute video lol

I do this, it just feels so personalized. I find myself treating it like a tool and even whatever I'm working on seems to have a feeling of extra care having been put into it. It's so much fun! But how I wish I could keep track of all of them haha

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.

Awesome video - easy to follow and understand. Keep it up!

you need to drill a small hole before scewing

Very good video

What do you recommend we do if we already have baseboards?

That was really well done. I was looking for a solution to do mostly down lighting in baseboards, but this has me realizing that so long as it is diffuse lighting it pretty much always looks great.

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.

INFORMATIONAL

Your channel is so cool! Totally binging all the videos now.

I want whatever you smoked right before making this video

Ngl I love this build but the rope wire you used for the 12v side was way over kill that wire is rated for 120 volt not bad but you probably can get cheaper corded wire if you look for a thinner gauge rated for 12v

fantastic quality video

heres a tip too. Get the neon LED lights (search them like this). They have a solid color and automatically look nicer and brighter than the regular leds

Hi, Thoughty-Two here.

Recommendation: tone down that music, it’s distracting from your presentation having to try to focus that jazz-ish music out.

Be careful with the wiring. Small cables are not made for being run too long of a distance. There is a high risk of an electric fire if you run the thin wire long distances. Extend the high mains voltage instead if you need to run the wire any longer than 5-8 meters. (Or if your pulling a high current to your LED-strip). Be careful out there and don't burn down your home. Better to ask an electrician for help if you're unsure. May save your life or property 👍

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

this is so thoughtful and specific in the best way possible. love that you're not selling anything, just sharing.

You can also get RGBCCT or RGBWW strips, which have dedicated white leds.

mate, pilot holes! always. any video on how to hide the wires for those lights for the frames behind you?

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

I love soft ambient lighting but my issue is its always looked kind of tacky especially when I've tried implementing it. Its great in modern hotels, restaurants or any sort of modern interior hospitality setting but it doesn't seem to fit in with homes

Amazing video. The dimmer has been the solution to all my problems but unfortunately the link is no longer working and an Amazon search has not returned a working substitute just yet. I found outlet dimmers, but not specifically ones for string lights. Maybe further searching will do. :)

2P10 and pre-drilling. y/w.

Hmm might consider this!!

this guy think he aesthetic or something 🤣

i dont even need this, the video is just pretty and nice to look at

Ive always wanted to replace my next wallet with a zipper pouch. Thanks for this video

I might do this like, this week, with an Ikea shelf that's currently just my media console. I could literally clean it up, stick the strip to the back and be done

Awesome reveal wow great work, hope to e able to do this soon lighting is so important to my damn quality of life. And great video production too, super cheap all things considered

you like to get high too?

i like how you make all the lights match your moustache

love this !

renter friendly illuminated dust collector.

Put it on a zigbee controller and Home assistant can help you make it adaptable and automated.

I’m loving your channel! Please keep up the great work 😊

Thank you for showing a renter friendly solution!

Great vid, was just thinking abt something like this and you explained it nicely

Cool video! Where’s that little mesh gym console from that your to stands on?

This is genuinely so cool! Creating something so simple yet innovative with everyday materials is really difficult. Kudos!

great summary!

Hey can I ask, are you doing your own editing on these videos or do you contract that out? I love the cuts, graphics, and effects and would love to hire whoever is helping you if you’re not doing this yourself.

Incredible video

You should drill pilot holes for screws in delicate wood in the future

Really nice work!
