it actually looks better than the original
Thanks so much! I'm happy you think so! Means I must not have done a horrible job lol.
It doesn't tho lol
@@dannymolns3573 except it does lol
It does … nice work …
@@IAmZen_007 just saying, those “… …” make it look like you’re a parent telling someone to be nice to their kid about their macaroni art…
This is my favourite. Works better than dealing with a traditional bulb. I never thought of this.
Thanks again buddy!
Nicely done, I really like the fact that you can change the inlay/paten on the light. Adds more versatility for the light.
Thanks! That's what I was going for. I always like to change things up depending on the mood I'm in. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Chris your creativity and humor is amazing. This turned out incredible. I love the black mesh as well. Love you bro!
Thanks Eric!! Thanks for watching (even though as family you are required to lol)
Great video Chris. Thanks for doing these projects and documenting them so well for us.
You are very welcome!! Thanks for watching and the support! I appreciate it!!
Love your candor and humor Chris. Great video
Thanks buddy! I for sure will never be the most energetic guy in any room I'm in lol. Thanks for watching!
A very nice job and well explained. I really like the black grids in front of the LEDs. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for watching! Glad it all made sense. Yeah the black mesh did give it a very unique look! You are very welcome!
That mesh looks so 🔥
Your videos are so good...you explain each step so well and your projects are so nice and unique.
Thanks Hana!! Glad you enjoyed and could follow along!!
That looks so good! Nice work! Keep it up!
Thanks buddy! Thanks for the support!
Very nice video Chris. I dally enjoyed watching it. Keep up your good work.
Thanks Chris!! Appreciate the support! Glad you liked it! Tell everyone hi for me!
Love the look of the light with that hearts velum paper, nice work dude
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
Thanks Chris, I'm definitely going to make this.
Thanks so much for watching and you are welcome! Glad you liked the video!!
For not having the quote "correct" tools you made it work really good, It looks very nice!
Thanks! I appreciate the support and thanks for watching!
Hello sir!. I hope your channel grows more! it helped me a lot for DIY! specially on the RGB
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the content!
There is only a certain direction that you should move the router bit in to make a safe cut. If you run it the wrong way you chance for the router taking off on you. There are great how to videos on making safe router directions.
And as always, you make THE BEST instructional videos out there.
Thank you Mark for all your help!! Appreciate it! I'm definitely going to have to get more familiar with a router. Thanks buddy!
This looks just remarkable
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!
That looks fantastic brother
Thank you!! Appreciate the support! Thanks for watching!
Your ideas are Epic. Keep the good work. :)
Thanks so much! I'm glad you are enjoying some of the videos! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Have a good one buddy!
Amazing job!!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Great work!!
Thanks so much! appreciate it and thanks for watching!
Brother your work is really great 💜🙌🏻✨
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!! I appreciate all the support!
@@ChrisMaherDIY my pleasure✨ brother my pleasure💜
Looks amazing
Thanks so much!!
Look for a circle cutter to a German YT Chanel look for the Video:“ Kreisschneider Oberfräse Let‘s Bastel „
Just watched the video. That is an epic circle cutting jig!! Might have to try it! Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff man
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Govee needs to hire you for design and progression!
I'd take that job lol. Thanks Dustin!
Chris, in one of your other videos you were using a table saw while wearing big clunky gloves. I was worried for your safety. If your bare finger touches the blade, you hopefully just get a nick and carry on. If your big clunky glove touches the blade, it will catch and be pulled into the blade area most likely causing a severe injury. I wouldn't want that to happen to you or anyone else. It is best and others will tell you, not to wear gloves when using a table saw. Please be safe as we all want more videos from you.
Thanks so much for the comment. I never thought of that but that makes perfect sense! I'll make sure to not wear gloves again and now that I think of it i should probably never wear baggy sweatshirts like i have in the past. Thanks again for the heads up and I do need to be more safe. Appreciate it David!
hella dope great video
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you liked the video!
I like the mash look
Yeah i was surprised at how nice that turned out. Gave it a different look for sure!
great videos man
Thanks so much!! Appreciate it and thanks for watching!
wow looks really good x3
Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback!
Unique night lamp 👍
Thank you for watching and the comment! I appreciate it!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Hey friend! I really like your videos
@@PacificDIY Thanks and your videos and projects are epic! Just subscribed!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Thank you so much!
Look so cool
Thanks so much!! Appreciate the support and thanks for watching!!
Very cool
Sand blast your glass, you can even tape patterns into. Night hawking light
Dare I say it but the DIY one to me looks better than the original
Thanks buddy! That's quite the compliment! Appreciate it!
i think the same especially the mesh one
great video
Thank you! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
nice job.
Thanks buddy! Appreciate the support and thanks for watching!!
I found some glass food containers at TJMaxx that I'll be trying to remake this with it. The only issue is it's open from one side only, so I have to cover the bottom of the container (Which will be the top of the lamp) with something to make it look good.
Great video! A quick question, can I use a 22awg cable ? Or what’s the best awg for a 4pin led strip?
Awesome
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support!
I wonder if this could be 3D printed, you could 3D print the base along with the center cylinder that goes up to the lid, and print the top lid separately. Then coil the LEDs up the cylinder just like this. I'm very tempted to try this!
yours looks so much better
Thanks buddy! Appreciate the support!
@@ChrisMaherDIY anytime fella. tbh what you could do is make and sell these, and sell them with different patterns on them, the flower ones look epic but im sure theres others you could find that would look wicked too, just an idea fella. you could make a living doing this
@@timeyre-swain9484 If i ever lose my day job maybe i'll try lol! Right now Its just a fun little hobby and if I can get enough ad revenue to cover the costs of the materials, that's good enough for me! Thanks again!
i have nade a one using polycarbonate tube, results are amazing !
Do you have a picture?! I'd love to see how it turned out using the polycarbonate tube!
@@ChrisMaherDIY
i have a video :
th-cam.com/video/hn1kaLV-WAI/w-d-xo.html
2:45 Build up the stripped portion with CA glue and baking soda, and re-thread it. 30mins clear epoxy will work the same.
Thanks so much for the great tip! I never would have though of doing that in a million years. Thanks buddy!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Wasn't expecting that you would still be monitoring the comments section of your old video. You too have some great tips throughout your videos too. I have learnt a thing or two through them as well. Thank you and keep them coming! 😊👍
niceee brooo, speaker on Top and thats the shit! 🔥
That would be amazing if I knew how to do that! Maybe down the road I'll try! Thanks for watching!
Impressive
Thanks so much and thanks for watching!
@@ChrisMaherDIY I just bought a 5 meter roll and have just just about a meter to connect with PC and was just looking for some projects where i could use the rest. Seems i could think about this one :)
@@sagarmgandhi Its so fun thinking of ways to use LED's! There are so many ideas out there! If you do this or any of the other ones i have made, let me know as i would love to see how it turns out!
@@ChrisMaherDIY I just built using an existing controller i had but i didn't had other materials you used, so instead tried to use the ones i have from home and so its a basic version but it was fun making it. However i did notice that the temp tends to increase a bit due to heat from led. How did you manage that OR does this lamp of yours get a bit warm too ?
@@sagarmgandhi That's awesome! Glad you had fun! Mine would get a little warm only if I had it set to white and on full brightness. Otherwise the temp stayed pretty even. I was just using a 5 volt phone charger (not sure how many amps) but i cant imagine it getting super hot with that little of power.
I am trying to replicate this on a larger scale, a 10' pole. My question is I bought all the same materials as in the video but my LED out of the box have at both ends 3 wires going into connectors and 2 power wires, for total of 5 wires. I assume this is for connecting them & power? But, do I just cut off these connectors and follow the video with soldering 3 wires to the strips, jumper wires, going to the upgraded power supply? Thanks so much! Love your channel. After this I am building the VU Meeter. All for a project I am doing!
Thanks so much and great question! You are right on. They come with the connectors to connect them together and the extra red/white is if you want to add power at that point. You can either cut the first and last led off or you can remove the heat shrink material and use a soldering iron to melt the solder that's on them to remove the wires without wasting an led. Totally up to you! I generally just cut the led off since I'm not patient enough to do it the other way lol. You can also use those wires but I personally like soldering a little thicker wires to the led strips now vs using the ones it comes with.
The real glass makes it look better than the "original" imho. If you had used a larger diameter inside tube you might've been able to hide the electronics inside the lamp itself, only leaving the power chord. That would protect the twisted wires from mechanical stresses as well.
Thanks so much for watching! 100% agree. Using a little larger tube would have made it easier and given me more room to put the components inside. Components inside would for sure be better than having everything outside like how i made it. It would have a more finished look. Thanks again!
@@ChrisMaherDIY You don't have to thank me, though I appreciate it. I find your quality of work really good, so it's enjoyable to watch your videos and see how you did it. My suggestions are mostly just incremental improvements I'd implement on top of your work, if I were to replicate it. I'm considering this particular build as a case for a DIY digital home assistant for example, so the bigger inner tube would be a must add for me.
Love your videos. Out of curiosity, how much did it cost you for this project including your labor charge. Just wanted to compare the prices and see the benefits of DIY
Thanks so much! If you don't need any of the tools, it probably cost about 30 dollars to make in materials. I could probably make this in 2 or 3 hours. Thanks again!
@Chris Maher hi Chris. Been looking for a heads on on this. I have already msgd you before.
Just a question.
You used a rgbic strip to do your project. But I was thinking I couldn't find a teardown of the Aura. Looking at some videos of it I'm thinking it's using a matrix panel. Could I be right in my thinking?
Also I know I asked about the controller you used being able to be tied into alexa and Google. Did have a little look. All I saw was a demo of one led being turned on and off. With a whole heap of prep just to do that!
Be good if there was a simple controller that did music .. wifi.. tuya.. and have the extensive pattern library of the software on that chip. Can't some one just make it and be done with it lol
Hi, Iam making something similar but got a problem. I used most of the same hardware that you used except the board. I used a Wemos mini D1.
In the video you powered all of the leds with a normal phone charger. When i did this only like 5 leds light up.
How did you get them all turn on? I tried different cables (even powered via PC only powers 5 leds).
Thanks!
Thanks for reaching out! In the WLED app under settings there is a section called led preferences. There you input how many LEDs you have. That's how it worked for me. Are you using WLED program or something else?
Rustoleum has a frosted glass spray paint have you tried that yet
No i haven't tried that but sounds like it could work very well! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the idea!
keren bang
Yours is heaps better
Take my money now!!!!!!!
hahahah love it! Maybe Govee can have your money?
@@ChrisMaherDIY Govee lamp was literally in my Amazon account but I didn’t pull the trigger and I get on TH-cam and saw your video in my newsfeed and love the custom lamp with the roses lol
@@fearjaded3782 such a crazy coincidence!! It was fun playing around with the different diffusing materials and how easy it was to change the look! Glad you like it and thanks so much for watching!
This would be great with a captive touch sensor. However, I have no idea how to install one on the esp32
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! That would be a great idea! I know esp/wled does have the ability to add sensors so I'm sure it would be possible but like you, I have no idea how that would work. Something that I will put on my project to do list!
@@ChrisMaherDIY I'm doing a project that's a 3.5' tower led lamp for the wife. I'm lost as what diffuser paper or product to use. Have you ever tried rustoleum frosted glass spray? Or do you know.of anything that I can use that's 3.5 to 4ft in height to fit in my clear tube?
I added a touch sensor to one of my projects. It works really well. Wled discord channel was very helpful.
I feel like you could do a good Morgan Freeman :)
Hahaha maybe a very bad version of Morgan Freeman lol. Thanks for watching!!
What I can’t seem to understand is how does the app know which leds to light up first so it creates that seamless gradient look cuz the leds are just wrapped around randomly? How does it work? My head just can’t seem to grasp how it works 😅
This thing is cool as fuck, I copped 2
Niice!! Your going to love them!
Good DIY... Liked it😍😍😍 but video is very slow.
Thank you!! Good you enjoyed! Yeah I agree. I think in the future I will make 2 versions. Long one with commentary and a shorter condensed one with no taking to speed things up.
@@ChrisMaherDIY All the Best Bro. I've already Subscribed your channel 👍😍❤
It looks better than the govee
Thanks buddy!
It's a shame that you didn't show the only thing that would interest me. How do you control the LED controller? How do you set the patterns? How do I turn on the device?
Why is the LED controller not integrated in the lamp?
How much did the material cost you?
Thanks so much for watching and the comment! I used a simple program called WLED that you can get on your phone to control the LED's. This program is loaded on a wifi board called an ESP2866. This guy does a far better job than i could ever do going over how easy it is to use the program and the effects you can make are pretty much unlimited. th-cam.com/video/6eCE2BpLaUQ/w-d-xo.html There are also great videos out there such as this one th-cam.com/video/j15pjU3YZfg/w-d-xo.html that goes over step by step how you can easily Install WLED onto the ESP2866 Board.
I decided not to try fitting the ESP2866 wifi board into the actual lamp since it was just easier not to. As far as materials, I estimate it probably cost around $35 dollars to make. Thanks again for watching and feel free to ask any other questions you might have!
I didn't know that was how the lamp worked, i expected there to be a whole blurred led screen behind.
What software you use?.
I'm using WLED installed on an esp8266 board. In my opinion it's the best method since everything is customizable and it's also probably the cheapest option as well. Thanks so much for watching!
Hey this is a simplified version gyverlamp
I just watched the gyverlamp and that is very cool! Love the effects!
Don't use electrical tape over exposed wires. Use shrink tubing instead or you risk a short, or even a fire.
Thanks for the tip! Good to know. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Нужно было покрыть тиковым маслом.
Thanks for the great suggestion! I'll have to try that next time!
Incorporate a cheap Bluetooth speaker to it and it would be even better
Yeah for sure! That would really complete it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@ChrisMaherDIY I was already thinking about that, u can put the 4 inchs speaker in the base looking to the bottom, a good full range one, and use the led part as the chamber! U can do an alexa like device but, prettier and better sounding, for a 4 inchs speaker i did a rought calculation that u need a 4 L ~ 1 gallon, with a 120mm tube it'll be some like 35 cm or a 1ft tall
It’s called a drill not a drill bit!!
Thanks for the correction! I'm definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed lol.
Think I would rather save money and just buy the govee lamp
As would I after doing the project 😂
Ixnay in the usicmay. Just say no to snippets of vocal music.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm still new at this so I'm always looking for ways to make the videos better. Thanks!!
Ок, ты сделал корпус для лампы, а как сделать умную лампу ни слова ни сказано...
Ok, you made a housing for a lamp, but how to make a smart lamp is not a word said...DIY version of the Govee Aura Smart Lamp
If we really talk about a "smart" lamp, then here is a much more interesting way th-cam.com/video/771-Okf0dYs/w-d-xo.html
For sure! That one is much better than mine! Thanks for sharing the great video and thanks for watching mine!
The Govee looks like a nice item... but why ruin the product by putting your name on it when the literal point of the product is to look appealing? Well, I guess making your own item solves that problem!
Thanks so much for watching! Lol there is always a way to solve a problem!
do u have instagram ?
I do not have one that I check. Maybe someday down the road I will!
