DIY LED Corner Lamp For Under $50 / No Tools
ฝัง

- This cheap, DIY minimalist LED corner lamp/LED fixture is an incredibly easy build as it requires no tools at all. The LED strip lights are sticky on one side, I'm just peeling the back off and sticking it to the PVC. All the PVC and spray paint was purchased at The Home Depot. We bought a 10ft, 1in diameter PVC pipe for $3.24 and had them cut it down to a 5ft piece and two 20in pieces (make sure the store carries the 3 way elbow and caps that fit the size pipe you want before you have them cut it). It could be taller and it could have longer legs, these were the measurements we wanted and liked. To close off the ends of the pipes we purchased 3 end caps for $0.83 a piece and one three way connector/elbow for $2.57 . A can of black spray paint for $6 and LED strip lights for about $27. Just connect all the PVC pieces, paint it and stick the LED lights on it and you're done. The most time consuming part of this project is waiting for the paint to dry. Now we have a fancy LED corner lamp that we paid less than $50 for and we love it!
Shopping online? It may be more expensive but here are some links that could help. These PVC Links are for 3/4 inch pipe so they will be smaller than what I used but they will also be cheaper.

There is no special trick to putting the lights on. They have a sticky backing. I'm just peeling the back off the strip and sticking it to the PVC where I want it. That's it, no tools, no zip ties, it's just stuck to the pipe like tape. When I got to the top of the lamp I just made a 180° turn and went back down. I only cut the strip once at the end. There is a link in the description to a video that may answer some questions about the LED's and how they are attached.
I’ve been looking for a way to spruce up my home studio guitar videos and you nailed it!
Incredibly easy and well done, thanks
What an amazing video! So beautifully done !
Genius. Just saved me a bundle!
Minimal effort with an outstanding result.
Well done to all 3 of you.
Wow! Brilliant.
You freaking killed it! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Simple but brilliant idea.
Never seen those before. Nice, cheap, straightforward lamp. Well done. Nice video 👍🏻
Well done it looks cool honestly
I was thinling of a wooden frame, but your idea is excellent as well! Thank you!
Dude you're amazing for this.. I've seen these on FB and I'm like ehhhh do I wanna pay that. Knowing now I don't have to, I'm grateful!!!
great job. cute puppy.
Great video! Your dog is adorable!
Awesome execution, definitely going to attempt to diy this. Thanks for sharing!
I saw this last night. I just gathered all the materials today & ready to make one. Thanks a lot bud!
I have finished making this lamp! could have been much cleaner but I'm pretty satisfied with it. Once again, thanks a lot man!
This is awesome. You solved my dilemma of what kinds of expensive aluminum track I needed to get. I'll use pvc. Thank you so much.
Dope idea
I was considering ordering this online. You just saved me a gang of money, thanks! 👍🏾
I saw the ads on instagram too...😂. Thank you for this tutorial..hope I can find the materials in my hometown, especially the LED light strip... So excited for this!
That's insane! Thank you so much!
Neatly done, sir 😀
Great video, I'm definitely doing this!
I'm a be honest here, for just a few bucks more you could use diffuser tracks and make it look 100x better than the original manufactured variant.
My thoughts exactly
didnt expect to see you here, whens the new apex vid dropping?
Do it better kid
Awesome job, I thought about buying it, not now. Thanks
Super dope, creative and easy. This was super helpful and has given me more ideas
Dope - headed to home depot to make 2. Thanks 🙏
Well done 👍🏻
This is awesome!!
I literally just saw them for 150 to 300 $ like 10 seconds before your video which i almost missed. Awesome my man
17 from aliexpress :(
you a real one man
Thanks you made this even easier because I knew I could diy it I just didn’t know what I could use for the frame.
Very cool. I've been thinking about how Id like to approach something like this. I had an idea of maybe using clear pipe and spray painting just the front of it so I can put the LED's on the inside and let them shine out the back. Maybe fill the pipes with some kind of clear resin to keep everything in place.
Good idea 👍
Awesome, thanks for making a how to video! I loved the lamp too but also didn’t want to pay the price for something seemingly so simple.
Awesome video!
I gave it a try and it turned out good. I wish I could post a picture
3 things I would have done differently...
1 - I would have filled the tubes with sand, better rigidity. PVC pipes can start to curve after a while.
2 - Used PVC glue to connect the pipes at the joints.
3 - used 3m auto trim tape to hold the LED strips to the plastic. I have worked with those strips, and the glue that holds them on can get pretty weak under heat. and yes those strips do throw off a little heat. ESPECIALLY when stuck to painted surfaces. Either that or roughened up the inside surfaces where the tape sticks with a little 220 grit sandpaper.
I was trying to make the easiest, cheapest lamp possible that still looked cool. I think I accomplished that. That stuff you would have done costs more money and time and I personally believe it's overkill and unnecessary. The pipes fit together tightly and the lamp literally sits in the corner untouched. It doesn't need glued. I have shoe racks made from PVC with shoes that have been sitting on them for years and the pipes haven't bent yet. If the 3m strip that is on these lights starts to fail I will use glue to fix it but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Well I'm sure your shoe racks aren't 5 feet long with nothing in the middle. And its great that yours dont but they wont start bending until they do start bending
As for overkill with glue, i have seen people doing how you did it. And when the picked to up to move the legs fell out and tore the strips.
But hey u do u
Why aren't you off making your own video?
Very clever, thanks, I’ll make one
Most definitely doing this instead of buying one. Thank you
Nice video! definitely doing this asap!
It's totally worth it!
Great idea 💡 (also super cute doggo!)
I love this idea. I will need my dad to help with measurements because I might want to make it 8 ft high. And deciding on day better light strips for $22
Looks like a great way to grow a marriage! Like that you guys did this together! Here's the issue I'm having. I own 8 of the authentic versions that are over 100 bucks or whatever each. They have various flow up and down and do like 70 different combos of lights. Feels like the 4th of July. We're talking multiple colors on each area of the pillar. If it's worth the extra $50 for the real thing then get it however the remotes to mine absolutely blow! What you set up has a much nicer remote! I do like your idea and I'm really glad that you did it because I want to pursue and do it because you now can get the strips you talked about for 13 bucks in the PVC pipe is probably around the same as what you quoted! It'll be good for the garage and other areas!
watched this video like 5 minutes ago, ALREADY ORDERED LIGHTS, on my way to home depot tomorrow
Genius.
That's pretty awesome. I've been seeing those ads all over my Facebook and been thinking how crazy it is how much they want for those. And I was trying to come up with an idea on how to make them myself. I really like your idea I think I'm going to do it with the PVC pipe I didn't even think of that. I think I would just go with the shorter LED strip light instead of running it like you did I would just run it on the longer piece and not on the legs.
I was going to go metal, thanks for this idea... I want to add a diffuser. So I'll my a insert and stick the strip inside and have a window where I'll use tracing paper to diffuse the light....
I love this I think I would want to cut the pvc in half to tuck away the light strips (makes 2 lamps for the price of 1) Also I might mirror strips inside to push the light further.
Love this idea. Gonna work on it this week to get rid of my bulky lamps.
Wow. Nice job. I’m gonna steal your homework for sure
Im about to make something just like this with philips hue leds to sync to my entertainment area.
I was thinking about just bedding a aluminum led cannel into a wooden base and running the leds down the channel with a defuser infront
You could probably save a lot of paint by painting the pipes when they're still unattached, placing them side by side. Just leave the ends/corner for after you've attached them together.
I was waiting for someone to hack this to give me an idea to make 1 or 2 for myself. Good job.
well done
Thinking outside of the box! Would've looked cool in white too match the molding
You should look into individually addressable LEDs, a little more expensive but way better effects. You should also look into WLED, its fun and simple enough for beginners.
hello, do you have a link for any of those???
Amazing good idea! You even succeeded bringing the wife in on the projekt, so she approved the solution (normally a hard thing to accomplish :-)
not right now cus im going on vacation tomorrow, but im bookmarking this in my browser. i will definitely be building one. thanks for the video
I hope you like it as much as we do!
@@TheInexperiencedAdventures i got all my supplies for about 20 dollars, now i have it behind the TV in the dark corner. fantastic. thanks a heap!
Great job man, I thought of the same about them so expensive. I was thinking of using wood or steel but the pvc, perfect option for me, cheap and easy. Thanks for the idea
Once it's done and put in the corner the PVC actually doesn't look bad either. Its really cool and cheap.
you can anything you can balance , even an old tripod.
That was smart lol. I wish i thought of that.. i love LED lights
Thank you. It turned out way better than we thought it would.
Very very niiice!!!
that dog is so cute
Yes he is. He can be a handful though 😁
Im just here for Mr. Tail Wagger :)
nice! i would choose a wood material!. anyway! great way to make that lamp!
Woow i also used thin wood planks
Great video I'm not sure why people are confused with the application of the LED lights it's super simple.
Ikr
So making it into a duo controlled lamp set worked. Just spent an extra $10 on a linking kit, used 2 click tight strip connectors, two male/male junctions and a 6ft extension. Worked great. Thanks again for the great tutorial. The only confusing part was the corners where you made 90°'s, I noticed yours were a bit loose and would have been nice to see a close up of yours to compare. I folded the strip fairly sharply and they held up.
That'll be cool having two synced up! I should have shown how I made the turns but I did make another video showing close up of everything. If you are still interested there is a link in the description to that video.
cute dog
The puppy though!!!!.....
I wish you did a close up of how you have the lights on the pvc. Nice work
The light strip is sticky on one side. It's just like taping it on where you want it.
How do you turn it at the top of the lamp?
1:45 cutest face 🤭😍🥰🐶
Forget the LEDs.. Your dog was soooo cute...
Nice tutorial. I'm modifying it a bit going to try to use some extensions and create 2 lamps that are controlled on the same controller.
I'm Excited for it 😍👍🏼
this coupled with some LED diffusers to house the LEDs would look even better. Bonus to this method is you can get a longer pipe for the vertical aspect to fit the entire wall length if you wanted.
Yeah doing it this way you can make it any size you'd like. Might be pretty cool to see one go all the way to the ceiling.
I have gotten all the supplies needed but the only issue was that there wasn't any 1in x 1in side outflow pieces. (The bottom splitter)
Making it 6 ft with the legs being 22 inches, hopefully all goes planned!
You win bro I'm about to do this with wood..and i literally already have everything including the led lights lol GG sir
A nice wood one would look really good. Good luck with the project. Will you be uploading a video?
Wood is so porous that the glue may not hold long term, but if you put something on it like a polyurethane coating or a paint it should stick better. If the wood is thin, you may be able to put a curve in it, but that is beyond my skill level.
14 dislikes probably coming from those who bought the expensive RGB floor lamp and also from the seller? HAHAHAH btw, thanks for this i was planning to buy the expemsive one then this comes across my reccomendations.
No its too damn thick. Its suppose to be a minimalistic touch. Thin peices. Not a whole pipe lol
This is a great idea, thank you for this!
Possibly a stupid question, but is there any issues with heat from the lights against the plastic? That would be my only concern is I make this and melt / set fire to something 😂.
We've used this every night since we made it. It stays on for 10-12 hours every night and we haven't had any issues and haven't noticed much heat coming from them. Pvc starts to melt around 176° Fahrenheit. In a typical room around 75° Fahrenheit an led strip can get up to 129° Fahrenheit. I don't think there will be any issues. Although rare, an led strip that is malfunctioning can exceed safe temperatures. I'm no professional but this is what I found from some research. Hope it helps.
they sell good quality ones on amazon for right around 50 and they’re easy to build
Pretty cool. What about lighting on inward side? Would that illuminate the whole room vs corner only?
If you put the lights facing inward, toward the room, you would need a way to diffuse the light, like a semi transparent plastic or something. Something to act similar to a lamp shade. Each light would be very bright and uncomfortable to look at if you don't have that. Having it face the wall diffuses the light and still lights up the room in the dark. It's all preference I suppose. I like the diffused soft light that having it face the wall creates. It's very nice ambient lighting. We use it as a night light for our kitchen, dinning room and living room every night.
Hey man, love the idea. How do you turn the LEDs as you head back down the pole? Do you cut and rejoin? I can seem to figure out how to turn the Led strip 180 degrees to head back down the pole without it getting all messy....
With the strip I used it was really easy to make that turn. It's easier to show what I did so I made another video explaining it and showed exactly how the turn was made (I should have shown it in this video). There's a link in the description. I hope it helps you out.
Mounting tape or super glue that bad boy. Jus loop which I'm sure your already doing.
Hi! Are the LEDs strong enough to light up a 16ftx16ft room? (Thinking of making this for ambient light and game nights), or does it only light up the corner it's in?
The lights we used get pretty bright and we use it for a night light in our dining room/kitchen/living room. I think for a 16x16 room it would work well.
@@TheInexperiencedAdventures Great, thanks!
How long was the led strip
I like this idea alot, however, I would need to get lights that don't flicker since I want to use these in videos. But this has given me some ideas
Any tips on synchronizing more than one? perhaps there's an app and product that works well for this?
I don't know anything about LEDs but I would imagine there is a better, more expensive led strip that has an app and the ability to do that. What I used here is cheap and easy to use because I don't know anything about them.
transparent tools/tubes or aluminum stripes instead of white pvc could be better?
I like the idea. Interestingly, I have some black pipe lying around and quite a bit of white spray paint. Maybe I will get some chrome spray paint for a lamp.
Is it bright enough to read by?
I think it could be bright enough but we haven't tried that. We just use it as an accent light and a night light.
How do you turn it white?
I saw these on Facebook and thought of doing the exact same thing, question for you though. Could you edit this video to show what the room looks like if you have it on with the lights off? Does the whole room receive a good amount of soft light? Enough to read from?
I would have to upload a separate video to show what it looks like in a dark room. I will put that in vlog 50 that will come out in a week. I can say that it provides quite a bit of light but it may strain the eyes to read by it.
What AC power adapter did you use to connect LEDs to the wall. Thanks.
I don't know the answer to that, it came with the lights. There's a link in the description to a video where I take a closer look at the lights. Maybe that will help.
Just out of curiosity, did you do anything for the heat? I bought some thermal tape to help with heat dissipation, but maybe it's unnecessary.
No I didn't. So far I haven't had any issues.
23 dropshippers disliked this video xD
Which one's foot do you mean in the video?
Thanks for the video. In the video, the LED you are using. They can not have 2 or 3 color at the same time, can they? If you know any LED Strip can do that, please share with me. I look online and the cheapest i can find is around 100$
These do not do that and I'm sorry but I don't know what ones do.
@@TheInexperiencedAdventures This is why the actual lamps are expensive. The LED controller is superior to the regular LEDS available everywhere. Hopefully soon they will come down in price as I just can't see the manufacturing cost to be that much higher. Thanks for the video!
Govee dreamcolor will cost u under 30 bucks. As the PVC pipe. Total build 40 bucks tops. What your looking for is called rgbic these r jus RGB there's a difference.
GOVEE BREAMCOLOR from amazon. trust me
@@dmo848 yessiiiiir, good info. I have govee strips in my car. Individually addressable LED's are the key
3:34 how cute is your dog......
Very haha
Where do you cut it exactly? I don't understand where and why you cut that that spot. What connections are you using to keep he lamp working after you cut it? I bought one from Walmart and I'm pissed lol.
I didn't need to use any new connections with mine. It already had the plug connection at one end (the end nearest the outlet in the video). The strip should have cut lines to indicate where to cut. If you cut on those lines at the end of the strip all the lights will work. If you want to use the leftover strip of lights not being used for the lamp then you will need to buy some connectors and a new wall plug. If you go back in the video to where I cut the strip at the end of the lamp you will see there is a cut line in between some small copper strips. Hope this helps.
@@TheInexperiencedAdventures maybe I'm buying a different brand. What type are you buying? Maybe I can go on Amazon and find it.
I have a link in the description to the exact lights I purchased.
You have to cut at every 3rd led, they usually have the strip marked where to make the cut
how long did it take for the leds to start peeling off the pole?
They haven't and I don't expect them to anytime soon.
If u use mounting tape from gorilla or 3m they won't ever fall. Or super glue but jus a dab
@@dmo848 EXACTALY what I just posted
from which way you got the remote?, I mean with which device?
The remote came with the light strip.
How are the LEDs powered and connected ?
There is a link in the description to a video that can answer your questions. Thanks for watching! 👍
What is the size of the short tubes? in centimeters if you can :) good video
They are 50.8 cm long or 20 inches.
@@TheInexperiencedAdventures gracias mi amigo :)
