Love that they stick to this video format!
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
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!
I want to try this with Styrofoam blocks and panels. Thanks for the idea!!
That is really cool. Lamp #2 is my favorite & I want to make a larger version of it
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.
That's a good tip!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!
Core out the 2x2, coat the inside in reflective paint, double over 2 led strips in the middle, fed through the back
Thanks for the basics
Cool . Awesome work. Merry Christmas
That was awesome. Very simple, easy to understand. Thanks for showing that to us. I have now Subscribed.
The second lamp looks awesome!
I'm a little late to the rgb light party but there were a few moments where I went "oh yeah", thanks for a great tutorial!
For more lighting on the last lamp you could add mirrored material and feather out the inside carving a little bit more.
The hanging cable is the only flaw, love the idea though
First time finding this channel, looking for things to make my PC room awesome....think out found it. You are awesome
these lamps help me lose weight
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?
I know I'm late but I'm here this is AMAZEBALLS
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?
Very nice, thanks
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
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?
Thanks!!
How's the first one attached to the wall? Any special brackets or so?
How did you put them on the wall?
Beautiful work! Congrats! :D
I am doing a similar project with hand carved angel wings, and rgb led lights.
Love it!
Amazing.
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!
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
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
Muito obrigada pelas legendas traduzidas para o português. ❤️🌸🙋🏻♀️🇧🇷. Tudo que você faz é tão lindo !
Have a wonderful Christmas.
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?
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.
Nice made
What did you apply to the wood?
Love watching you guys vids,
and I like you show the good use of safety stuff too,
where are you based?
Cool Video !!
thx!
Thanks for the video. One question though: must I tin the strip connection points before soldering the wires onto them?
I always do that because it makes everything a lot easier and quicker, so I'd definitely recommend it :)
- Martina
Nice as always :O
Where do you power them from?
I felt bit incomplete...but inspired me a lot
anyone know a way to make it without cord to a battery pack instead of a wall socket?
what is the name of song in 4:05 please
I like the idea. try to Flame the Wood instead of Painting it Brings out the Structure and a unique look ;)
Nice video
These lamps are so pretty.
Don't know if someone will see this comment anymore but what is the yellow material at 7:36 called? The material she uses for protecting the solder.
heat shrink tubing
RGB is absolutely life
Awesome! What kind of paint did you use?
Mahogny stain
I would like another diy led clock
7:02 VERY NICE CESAR-CHAN
woah!
Where will you add egg controller and hide it?
In the dark lol.
Cool
“I will make it cheap as possible”
5secs later *pulls out a £125 saw*
Sounds like you are a cheap tool.
Please do a wireless RGB lamp or light
Where did you get your nerd Hoodie? its awesome!
Hey, thanks! I designed it and had it specially made for me and Hansi :)
@@Nerdforge Hansi and Martina? Dont tell me you say your names are that, when its actually Hans and Martine, to make it sound better in English?? Because Hansi and Martina are really uncommon Norwegian names
I want to go to Norway! I like Black Metal
RGB IS LYFE

Can you make steampunk light switch ?

cool
Omg that cat is so fluffy lol 😳😳😳😁😁😁🐱🐱🐱
Love your videos. Waiting everyday for new videos. Pls try to make more projects.
I love Norway
pre-drill nail/screw holes on thin materials...
Your cat is beautiful. 😁
The wood isn't cheap anymore lol. Nice lamps.
i want to do this but make the panels accoustic panels.
Should've thrown some acryllic into the sides of the 2x2 lamps
Where is the plug?
ONLY 114k subs !!!
+1sub nice video
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.
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.
Is the led stripe adressable ?
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.
thank you very much!!!!!
Problems with the glue...hahaha..cool..!
Peace :)
Can ye do a Harry Potter diy? ❤️
I wonder if your RGB meet SimplyNailLogical Holos 😂
задумка хорошая, но как то не аккуратно, провода желательно заранее завести что бы не видно было кабель канал(
Nice router from biltema
How did you afford to do this for a livening?
Please do a ps3 paint job video, just like you did with the xbox controller
Where did natural nerd go? Anyone know?
We're still alive! Just taking a little break while adjusting to new jobs, etc. :)
Natural Nerd good to hear, love your channel.
LED Forge!

Can you make one for me ?
Love 💗 from pakistan
That accent is incredible
RGB DIY under 10$ with 400$ tools!!!
there has to be a better way to hide all those wires... that's what's keeping me from making lights like this
You can also use the LED strips to grow a small weed plant. But sshhh, you didn't hear it from me.
What, .
