- This floating shelf is made of big leaf maple and features a discreet lighting set up.

Just underneath the shelf there is hidden under some frosted acrylic very bright leds that use very little power yet provide an enormous amount of light, ~ 3500 lumens at full brightness. I paired it with a 60 watt ac/dc power adapter and a remote control to control the leds.

Very fun project, I like the wire channel in the back and that is some nice soldering work. I would definitely recommend 2700 degrees kelvin, or warm white LEDs instead of daylight, though, especially for a bedroom. I would reserve daylight (5600 degrees kelvin) for something that is going to be used during daylight hours in a bright setting where you want to try to match the sunlight. Daylight will be harsh in a bedroom/ living room setting, where any incandescent lighting you have will be around 2700 degrees, or even warmer if it is on a dimmer.
I love this project! Will definitely have to try this once I figure out how to do the lighting section. Well done. And as for the tummy, beautiful sight to see!
Well done Lynn, great job.
Excellent project. The wood you picked is beautiful.
I picked this video randomly and watched it to the end. You are very talented and I love that lighted shelf project :) AND, it's still getting attention after 2 years old. Thanks for sharing your ideas and interesting project. Todd
Very nice.... Well was going fishing this weekend. My wife walked by when I was watching your video and said she wanted me to build her one like this, this weekend.....hummmmm. Look like no fishing this week...Lol. Loved your light.
Awesome, you do such a great job at showing all the details on how to do your builds!
I love LED lighting! This gave me an idea for a design I've not seen before, recessed indirect LED lighting for a floating shelf.
Nice and bright.
Keep up the Great ideas, Lynn.
Well done & Welcome back! - had not seen the hidden shelf mounting hardware before. For a safety note, folks in earthquake-prone zones should refrain from putting heavy items on a shelf above your sleeping head. I once had my wife's large cat go out of his way to push a 20-lb stereo off a shelf on to my sleeping head. So extend that warning to people w vengeful cats ;)
LOL that's even worse than my bad cat, who bites me if I don't feed her promptly.
Looks nice! I am glad you are back and running. I liked the finish.
Linn, I was so sorry to hear about your father--in-law. Thank you for sharing about him. The shelf turned out really good. Oh, and you are looking great.
Nice project. I am inclined to add LED to many furniture projects in the future, and this was helpful!
Love how the light turned out and like you said it is very sleek.
That is a very cool project Lynn. Hope and pray great health to you and the baby.
Awesome. Simple, clean, and an approachable woodwork project.
absolutely stunning result, can't wait to try this out!
Try to use aluminium strip 1/2" x 1/8" under de LED strip. it works like heat dissipator and the LED sticks better whitout the risk of detachment.
Good Idea!! Nice project!!
This is great! I didn’t know you could buy floating shelf hardware like this. Very neat project.
I always love your LED project. Very educational and inspiring!
Simple setup and clean install. Keep up the great work!
Fabulous shelf. Thanks for sharing how you made it. :)
Very cool idea and well executed too!
Awesome idea. Congratulations on the baby.
Darbin, first and foremost Condolences on the loss of your father in law, and secondly, thank you for the courage you give me to delve into use of leds
VERY nice design and great results!! Beautiful!
Great job Linn. I think that it's a really good way to get some lighting over the bed.
Thanks for sharing
+Roy Wrenn Thanks Roy!
excellent idea, congratulations on the beautiful projects you make
That looks super Linn! 👏👏👏👏 Thanks for sharing!
Awesome, love the combo of woodworking and electronics.
Wow! That *is* a lot of light! :)
Lovely build!
Really nice design. I like the recessed look of the LED lights.
Very cool and fantastic execution!
........As usual you come up with such cool ideas for the home....... Glad the Dog approves of your work.....!!!
Loved the lights, boy were they bright. I could not help but to notice the pattern on your trousers, I have a pair of PJ's with the exact same pattern.
+John Fithian-Franks Haha!
Cool looking shelf. Yeah those strips are quite bright.
showing I'm of an age:
Hey folks! Who remembers when LEDs were Red, and you couldn't see your led watch in daylight?
Very nice work, results were awesome.
That is awesome, Linn. Great idea.
Awesome project. Beautiful work.
Great Job...Really nice looking shelf and cool idea...
Very cool! My oldest would love a light like this for reading at night!
Really, really, really beautiful work!! Congratulations, from Brazil!
That's so awesome! Great build!
Nice light Lynn. Love your choice of maple for this it is perfect. A little tip for finding studs in the wall use a neodymium magnet and swing it slowly backwards and forwards on a string it will find the nail or screw.
Damn cool! I want to do this! I knew I could do it with a sheet of acrylic! Thanks for the tips/ideas! I'll be doing mine with a single Philips Hue LED (really bright strips yo!) and a much thinner sheet of acrylic (probably 30% as wide as the one in the video!) Can't wait to embark on this project
Another great build Linn, well done..... 👍🏼😊
+Marc Thanks!
Very nice idea and nicely executed. An alternative to spraying the clear acrylic sheet with "frosted paint" to get the frosted light diffuser effect is to sand it with very fine sandpaper, 300-400 grit. No fumes/VOCs, and no risk it will ever flake, yellow or peel off.
Nice.
Why did you decide to come out with the wires on the right? If you came out on the left, you could have run them down the room corner. Did you consider dropping them through the wall instead?
Excellent project, as always...and a very cool baby-bump! Cheers!
+Rick Van Hooren 😊
hello, congratulations on that baby that is on the way to you as your dad is a blessing, also congratulate you on the channel to my wife and I really like it. A greeting from Tenerife Spain
Great Video, neat work too, I really enjoyed your Techniques.
Great build, Linn (and Matt) (and baby) (and Darwin)! Thanks for sharing.
+barbara kvistad Haha thanks!
Nice! I want to build a similar thing above my oven in the kitchen. I have a large slab of Black Walnut with one live edge. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome work, Lynn!
What a great shelf idea! Will be making one of these!
Great looking shelf! Love your works ❤️
+Kenneth Nybom Thanks!
Looks great! I like the new mask too.
Looks great!
Hope your pregnancy is going well! My wife and I just had our first baby at the beginning of this month and it's fun getting to see you go through the process as well!
+Voth Quality Creative How fun!
Love this for my shop great job 👍👍👍
Awesome job Linn! 👍
Clean and simple and Darbin likes it - what more could you ask for? 👍👍👍
Always perfect led and wood combination ....I like that alot !!!!
That kid’s not going to be able to sleep without the sound of a table saw in the background. :D
Love these LED projects
The kid's been hearing noises like that the entire time it's been in the womb. Maybe it won't be able to sleep *without* those kind of noises. Imagine that. Your newborn baby won't sleep without the soothing sound of a 1200 watt router etc.
actually sounds like hairdryers, vacuums and such tend to have a soothing effect on babies. they generate a white noise sound which is very similar to the sounds babies hear when they are in the womb. we actually turn on the hairdryer if our baby girl cant sleep and she'll be snoring within 5 minutes
Loved the excitement of the dog when he saw the new light in da house
I like. Nice job Linn
Really nice job on the led shelf it looks really cool.
Thanks
Tim from wood 4 nothing
Really, really beautiful work, Linn!
+MC's Creations Thank you!
Very cool. It looks great. I'm going to use this idea to build a shotglass shelf.
VERRRY NICE. GLAD UR BACK.
wow. great vid. much congratulations for your baby
Once again my wife asks me why I don't build neat stuff like Linn and once again I remind her because Linn is half my age and knows what she's doing. Thanks a lot.
Well if you are only 40 then you should not have any problems with making things like that. As to the knowing, knowing just takes a little time.
Albert I'm sorry you missed my humor.
Mach, I'm sorry that you missed mine. My wife tells me the same all the time. I am currently in the process of building a workshop so I have someplace to make things for my wife.
+MachTwo57 😊
My reply, if so inclined, would be to tell the wife that she is more like Linn than you are so SHE should build things for herself.
Definitely dig the shelf. I've had a similar idea using aluminum and resin that I've been meaning to get around to making. I would have secured the acrylic with small metal tabs though, so that it's easy to get at the LED strips in case anything odd happens.
Good job on the frosted acrylic.
I have a huge roll of LED lights like that. You make it look so easy to work with! I really want to give it a try now. :)
Very nice work!
Lovely video as always and a neat idea!
+Figments Made Thanks!
Really cool design. I'd like to see this with one of the white strips replaced with red LEDs so you could use it as a nightlight (since red doesn't interfere with circadian rhythms). Also would be cool to add a timed dimmer (maybe Arduino) so you could set the lights for a gradual wakeup function in the morning. Good video that is giving me ideas :)
+Modustrial Maker Like the timed dimmer idea!
Excellent work👏👍👍👍
Super job!.Video was very helpful.Thank you.
Absolutely love the look of this.
Great idea followed up by a killer build! Something like this would go great above my workbench.
+Mark Nog Thanks Mark!
Very nice job. Congratulations on your baby. Sure he or she is born by now.
very creative, and best of all... simple!
Awesome work !!!
Brilliant Idea well Executed
Nice project Lin.. Snyggt!
Beautifully well done 👏👏👏
Very nice project!
Yes, very cool and unique shelf; I love the live edge. Thanks for sharing : )
+Green Kitty Thank you!
Awesome idea! I love it.
Very good one! Thank you and congratulations!
Amazing Protect! I love it, hugs from Paraguay, Heart of South America.
oh wow! Thank you so much! I loved the techniques you showed! 5:21
Good to see a helping hand...you need it. Nice job!
+Shaukat Hakim 😊
I like that a lot, the woodworking and the LEDs. Didn't realize it was going over the bed until the end. I never have enough light over the bed for reading.
Very nice work.
This was so cool to watch
great idea and it looks so cool!
Very nice, it's so bright I think the baby can see it right now ;-) Keep broadcasting!!
Great project, wish you well with the baby
