    Thanks so much for this great tutorial! I always wondered how these lights were made! Super cool! (And kudos to you for both routing & soldering!) You are talented, and the sign looks GREAT!

    That's excellent. I will definitely use the separate LED strip and plastic cover next time, those corners are really sharp! Thanks!

    This is amazing! Thanks so much, If someone wanted to put the power cord through the back of the sign where would you recommend drilling the hole so the sign looks clean?

    • @LoveandLyteSignss
      @LoveandLyteSignss  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You could drill through the channel and feed the wiring through the back. Then just overlap the LED strip to hide where the wiring is coming out!

      That’s a great suggestion! I will work on it! It can be intimidating, but it can be done!! I felt the same but remembered my middle school tech class days when we had to solder one light on a circuit board!! I figured if my 8th grade teacher could help us, I could relearn how to do it now yearssss later! Lol

  • @emadleiman47
    @emadleiman47 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the very helpful video. Can you tell me if covering the LED's with the thin wires will dim the covered LED's a lot where you can notice dark spots when they are covered with the silicone diffuser or is it best to place the wires to the sides of the LED's so they won't obstruct them?

    • @LoveandLyteSignss
      @LoveandLyteSignss  ปีที่แล้ว

      I would make sure the wires are on the sides. More noticable on the white, but when it's photographed there isnt really a noticable difference.
