This video shows how to make an LED pendant light from plywood, LED strips, and flexible LED channel. Since I designed this for my living room, the music reactive / sound reactive mode had to be incognito. With this in mind, I used warm white / cool white / amber LED strips, instead of RGB strips. In solid white mode, the rings give off various shades of white for a sophisticated modern look that hides the wild side when you switch the light to music visualizer mode.
The build is fairly simple. Each of the two rings is made of a stack of three plywood rings, where the middle ring has a lesser radius to create a groove for the LEDs. The rings are simple to cut using a circle cutting jig and router. While I programmed an Arduino Mega to do music visualization based on input from a microphone, you can very easily buy an off-the-shelf music controller for individually controllable LEDs, which is basically plug n’ play for the LED strips.

Love finding me a great new channel. Very well done. Subbed and now binging. :)
Awesome, glad you are enjoying the channel! I'll do my best to supply more binge-worthy builds :)
Wow, watching this after seeing your newer stuff, it’s clear how much you’ve learned! You sound so much more comfortable in your videos now.
Lol, yea, it's hard for me to watch these....I've learned a lot about, well, everything, in the last few years 🤣🤣
The kinda man everyone needs in their life, incredible talent
This looks incredible! Awesome work :)
Thanks for the kind words!
Awesome job and very well explained thank you for thinking outside the box and coming up with a neat way of doing some lighting.
Michael R Kegg Jr thanks much!
Awesome job, man. Honestly. Awesome.
Thanks much!
This is simply beautiful!
Simple and witty, congratulations!
Absolutely stunning! Great work.
Thanks Stephen!
its really beautiful and cleverly simple to make. LED strips rock! thank you very much. subbed for more! :-)
DMonZ1988 thanks!
Cool stuff Mike. My brother was just telling me still had his colour organ from 45 years ago.
I told him they could be built with LED strips and an Arduino now.
I’ll have to show him this.
Thanks man! Would love to see pictures of what you create, if you share pics, tag me on Instagram or shoot me an email.
Thanks for sharing! Amazing work!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Unbelievable imagination and craftsmanship. This is the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen 😍
very awesome dude! keep up the good work
Thanks! I'll do my best :)
Love your work! You have definitely earned my subscription! Keep it up and a video on the code for that light would be awesome!
Thanks! The electronic and code tutorial seems to be a popular request, so its in my queue. In the meantime, the (very crude) code is up on Github. Link in the video description.
That's pretty cool!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks!
Thanks for the upload! Amazing work 👍🏆
Thanks much!
Those are some pretty awesome rings!
Thanks Ahmed!
This is an awesome video I like how you recorded the instructions separate from the visuals.
Thanks! I used Davinci Resolve 14 to edit the video and do voiceovers. Highly recommend it, especially since it is free! You can import your clips, edit them in a timeline, and then use the built-in Fairlight audio work station in Resolve to record voiceovers right over the edited video. It is similar to Adobe Premiere Pro, but free.

I wonder how it'd look with a ring of lighting on the interior as well (LED track on exterior and interior rim). It'd be cool to do that with separate control for color contrasting selection.
I didn't know that led strips are amenable to this levelof control, even with a Arduino controller.
Looking forward to the Arduino tutorial.
It really depends on the type of LED strips. I never actually went back to do the Arduino tutorial, but I did add the arduino code link in the description. Check out the Nerdforge channel and their LED music syncing tutorials for the time being, as they go into a ton of detail on the code and electronics, which are similar to mine.
Awesome project
Thank you!
Great job, looks amazing. Be great to see a video covering how you programmed the arduino
I added a link to the Arduino code in the comments, if you are interested.
Excellant! Subbed :)
Thanks!
so beautiful project! cheers! :D :D
Loved it!
Thank you!
Woowww...that looks insane!
Thank you!
Awesome job! Looks great
Thanks Leigh!
Love it.. Keep making stunning lamps 👍
Thanks much!
Beautiful, man! 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Wow.It's awesome man!!
Thanks!
The comments in your arduino code are very helpful and it gave me the courage to try this.
Morten Hygum thanks! I actually used code from cine-lights and natural nerd and combined them, so many of the comments are theirs. Gotta give them credit for those :)
Ok :-) Now I'm trying to analyse the code to find out more about the out commented modes at line 357. It's a long code. :-)
Morten Hygum there are a couple functions beat_and_blur, and blur_and_blink that were broken. Just figured out if I switch NUM_LEDS to NUM_LEDS-1 (or maybe N_PIXELS if I used that terminology in this code...on my mobile and not looking at actual code right now) it will fix these. They are really cool if you want to give them a shot....
Yoo that looks good I'm going to have to steal that
We'll call it "borrowing"... :)
stunning. Great job.
Thanks much!
amazing video clear easy to follow with good lighting and we can easily see what your doing and what a stunning end result well impressed and subscribed WELL DONE.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
looks so cool !
Thanks!
I'll never be able to do this but watching is mesmerizing.
Thanks!
Cool design!
Thanks!
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
This is awesome!
Thank you Laurie!
That’s fantastic 👍🏻
yes youtube.... this was the thing i was lacking in my life... orbital led lights...
Love your work!
Thank you!
wow those are pretty cool!
Thanks! Much appreciated.
So impressive !
Super clean!
Thanks!
Beautiful build bro. Insta-sub!
BlitzCraig thanks!
Sweet design! Really liking it! Just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks much!
Lots of fun to watch. Great job moving through your process. Good camera lighting and sound plus helpful links. Now all I need is info on the track you played during the demo of working product ❤️
Bobbi Wehrfritz thanks much! The song at the end is Leroy Styles ft. Ferro Gaita - E Si Propi -- great tune, support them by buying on iTunes or Google Play :)
Excellent job. I want to compliment you on the job well done.
Thanks Rey!
This is so nice.
I'll have to try it out
May have to try something like this with HUE lights in order to give it even more options.
Very nice! Arduino code video requested!
I'm getting a lot of requests for this, so I'll try to accommodate at some point in the future. For now, you can check out the code - a github link is at the end of the video description.
Cool. Thank u
Well done man! It just gave me a little back pain but teaches me a lot, I'm sure it have to be an easier way with steel or something, thanks 👍
Thank you!
This is incredible!
Could you do a video on how you sync'd up the lighting. I'm a DJ, looking to put something like this in my studio
Thanks! The code is available in the video description. I used electronics similar to Cine-lights - check out his channel too.
Great idea looks like a fun project.
Thanks!
It's a great idea also for car audiio, Great Job!!
That would be very cool to see! You'd have to do some step down converters from the car battery to get 5V Arduino and LEDs, but wouldn't be too difficult.
Great job !
Cyrille REBOUT thanks!
Like these nice original creative craft man projects. Great respects and keep on going.! ....
Thank you much!
Very cool. Don't think I could personally do this but loved it.
Thanks Perla!
Coolest DIY I've ever seen...
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
now that was a smart light idea
Thanks!
Kick ass!!!! Good job.
Thanks!
These rings!! My next project and YES I would love to know how you made the lights "dance"
The Github link to the Arduino code is in the video description. Would love to see what you create!
Amo questo lavoro.
Very nice
Fabrizio Marengo gracias!
Modustrial Maker You inspired me for the next project tank's.
P.s Amazing channel
Fabrizio Marengo glad to hear. Looking forward to seeing what you create!
Routing into foam. Genius. Why didn't I think of that? Beautiful.
Thanks! I use pink foam under everything when I cut. It is soft and easy to cut through, cheap and reusable, dimensionally stable with reasonable weights on it, and self-leveling for heavy weights that are evenly distributed (I used to use it as a self-leveling base under large aquariums).
We use the pink foam a great deal in the theatre and now that you mention it, I not only use it for sculpture, trim and the like, but I use it underneath plywood when cutting. I have a several 1'x4' strips of white styrofoam left over for something that gets used here at home for cutting. But routing never occurred to me. So obvious...
Glad to help you add to your bag of tricks :) BTW, I assume from your profile picture you are a scuba diver? I'm also an avid diver. I have a few dive trip videos on my personal youtube channel, although they are a bit less polished than my build videos (if interested, you can search for "mcliffy2" and should find it).
(long pause between comment and reply...) Yep. We didn't make our usual trip to Cozumel this year so I have nothing new to post to my "channel". The problem being that it's easy to take loads of video and it takes time and concentration to edit it down to something worth watching. I'm sure you understand that...
I completely get that
This must look very cool if seen directly rather than in a video. Good job
Yes, its hard to capture the full effect on film, especially with the music sync.
Defo wanna learn about the electronics build. This is amazing
Thanks! There is a lot more info on the electronics in the video for my LED Bluetooth speaker, which uses essentially the same setup. Check it out if you are interested.
Not a terribly big fan of the music, but, that light is WONDERFULLY modern! Awesome build!
Thanks!! What type of music do you prefer? I have another project that involves music syncing in the works...
Awesome bro!!
Thanks!
I use a box cutter knife for trimming the edge banding. I have used the edge band trimmer and found that it tears, whereas a good sharp box cutter, cutting in towards the material its glued to works best.
A box cutter is a pretty horsey shop tool for fine woodworking , unless of course you're accustomed to using it.
nicely done.....
Thanks!
it's me again and i think i have watched this and your other videos like 5 times in the last couple of days , one i love architecture and art - second i love watching the process, helps think and see new ideas - i love watching videos like this, there are so many of these diy videos, but their are only a few true artist and designers that can pull off a real grand and clean design and make people jump up and say thats just awesome or i want that in my house. I have to say is your designs remind me of the Sundance furniture and art or like a ralph lauren furniture piece. it's like old world charm brought back to like and upgraded to the 21 century, with memories of the past, but more upscale and unique, ok i have said enough just awesome
Thank you so much. Those are some amazingly kind words! Made my night!
Just came across your channel. Looks great. You asked if there would be any interest in the arduino end of this. I vote yes. There are countless arduino How to channels but with the unique projects you make I love the blending of all these different disciplines.
Thanks! Yea, I definitely like experimenting with different disciplines and combinations of materials/techniques. For me, the electronics are a means to an end. I would rather be woodworking and casting concrete than programming and soldering. BUT, I love the end results when integrating programmable LEDs in projects, so I can't stay away :) I'm hoping that through a few iterations I can develop a simple way to integrate the LEDs, with minimal soldering and coding. The Github code in the description works for this project, but I think it could be more refined. For V2 of this light and another light, I'm going to try to migrate to WeMos esp8266 for simple wifi control. There will definitely be an electronics video for this light (and hopefully applicable to a number of lights), once I'm happy that I have an elegant and simple solution that is worth sharing.
Well sir, I am subbed and I thank you for making these videos that an old dog like me can learn something new.
Muito bom! Parabéns..
Amazing!!!
Thanks Mahalie!
ЛЯПОТА. Красота. Хорошая работа
Спасибо!
I'll really love the arduino programming you used. If you can also add that for alternative led drivers too, it'd be great
Edward, the GitHub link to the code is now in the video description
it is so beautiful
that fricken awesome, It replaces the 1970 disco ball and brings it into the 21 century love it - call it rave rings
Thanks! Rave Rings, I like it...
your designs are wicked amazing
Original map of Mexico thanks much! I've got more in the pipeline, so subscribe if you like :)
subbedddd :).
Thanks!
really cool
Thanks!
Awesome!
+lookmun thanks!
Wow.... it's wow!!!!!
Thanks!
Great project, you just got a new sub. Can't wait to check out the rest of your videos. I'd love to see a video on the programming of the Arduino for this project.
Thanks! There is a github link to the code in the video description now, and I'm planning to do a more detailed video on the electronics in the future.
Awesome video, subscribed
Thanks!
Very cool! I wonder if you could have more rings descending from largest to smallest in circumference, creating an inverted pyramid / chandelier of ever decreasing circles.
Thanks Ryan! More rings would definitely be possible....like a mini version of the Omnia kinetic chandelier
Nice. I would have run the power through the steel wires instead.
I'm looking into that for the permanent installation.
Wich of material you are used to cover led strip?
I used flexible LED channel, there is a link in the video description.
Thomas Stadel yup i thought the same came down to comment but then saw your comment already ;) 👌🏼👍🏻
Right, I was thinking the same thing. The Arduino with the sound sensor on the ceiling and the 4 wires of the WS2812 using the 4 hang wires.
Amazing Ideas
Thank you!
Buenísimo 😎👌
Boom well done
Thanks!
Very impressed
Thank you!
Amazing 👏👏👏 you are very talented ,
Love ur work and just subscribe your channel
Thank you!
muy bueno el trabajo, lo unico que te daria como critica...es que los cables de alimentacion de los leds los tendrias que hacer con los mismos tensores. ya que si usabas un hilo de cobre como tensor lo podias usar como cunductor de voltage
muy lindo trabajo, saludos
I want one ...love it
leon baugh thanks much! This one is going in my living room, but I've been thinking about some giveaways at the 5k and 10k subscriber marks.
Very cool...now I know what to do with ribbon lights...
Cool 😍😍😍
So cool
I'm interested in the arduino programing process! Cool build!
Thanks! The GitHub link to code is in the video description now
Would love to see the rest of the project (electronics and program) thanks and great looking project
Thanks! The link for the code is in the description, and also check out the video for my LED Matrix Bluetooth Speaker. The music sync electronics are basically the same, and I go into much more detail.
