As impressive as the star ceiling is, I am more impressed by your wife’s patience. WOW! Another great example of how not to be afraid to try something you don’t know, I am sure many will now be inspired to give lighting effects a go, they can truly transform a normal room into a work of art.
Thanks for the kind words Mick. Her fiery Italian blood is not usually known for patience but she is a saint to let me do all of these crazy things. Won’t be long now and the room will be complete!

Wow i always wanted a star ceiling for my HT but it was super expensive trying to get someone to come over and do it. Or i couldnt figured out how to do it my self. Thank you so much in posting this video it really help me figure out how to do it.
Tony, Used your video to do the exact same at ours and it came up nicely. In Aus so used the acoustic pinboard from Bunnings, the same size magnets and even the Chinley system. Really loved your video - literally lit up our theatre. It worked so well.
Mate this is off the chart theatre room stuff. Amazing how it’s turned out mate congratulations. As much as a pain in ass it would of been to do you must be so happy proud of the turn out. Must of been a big learning of do’s and dont’s and do next times. You could probs do installs for people now👍. Thank you so much for showing us it’s brilliant. Love the first bit of the video. So funny 🤣.
HAHA Yep, seems lots of people having the same idea... you can screw them in as well - i used magnets just to see how it worked, and it keeps the boards tight - screws will make a pin cushion effect.
Love to see how it turned out. Why not join our discord server so you can share some photos? Links are in the description and I have a channel set up just for star ceilings!
@@BuildMontage When that panel fell though, I cringed. Glad that there wasn't too much damage! This video was a long time coming, you did an amazing job on the ceiling and the video brother!
Could have used shims with a cutout and slide and click it into position. thinking of doing this and coating it with a bright epoxy color.. Edit: also.. you look like vinnie paz.
Correct me if I'm wrong - The fibers and light that spins is what's giving the irregular flashing of the stars? I'm thinking of doing this only without the fibers to make the project easier. So all the stars in this case will light at the same time.
Bro your way the easiest ..I’ll never would’ve thought about doing it this way …… everyone else makes it seem more difficult.. cutting woods and shit … I love your way of.. it might seem a lil challenging but it’s the easiest way that I seen… thanks brother 🦾🦾
4:26 What is the name of the song that is playing? I MUST HAVE IT! 🤣 I LOVED THIS! I totally plan on doing this myself. I'm excited! Thank you kindly for sharing this awesome project. 🖤
Thank you! You can cut holes around them if you need to and glue some speaker cloth inside to hide the hole and allow sound to pass through. I didnt need to because my vents are in the alcove as my speakers are as well.
Fantastic video Tony...well done on a great job!! The amount of thought and hard work that you and your family put into this is amazing. The end result is super impressive and inspiring! And thanks for the all the details! Now you just need to mass market these lol
@@BuildMontage I saw another video where someone built a frame, stretched the fabric on the frame while on the floor and then set the frame to the ceiling with strong hooks (obv he connected all the fibers first). Do you see any problem in doing that?
@@shanibouskila6868 of course. Many many ways to do it. The light engines I linked are perfect for your setup though if you struggle to find something suitable.
Looks awesome! I've been wanting to do this for awhile but settled for an all blk wall and created a long narrow panel across the top of the wall with some fairy lights flickering, budget but still had the effect. It's my bedroom/snack bar/home theatre in 1 but I keep thinking if I panel the whole ceiling it will feel too dense in the day. Enjoyed your vid anyway. Hopefully I'll make a decision soon! I love watching home theatre DIYs.. they're just cool :)
Excellent video & awesome finish. You have given me the inspiration to do this myself. I have one question/ concern, how hot do the light engines get up there in the ceiling void? Would I have to remove a lot of ceiling insulation/create some sort of ventilation for the engines?
Hey Tony, one more question. So I have the exact chinly led engines as yourself. To shorten the fiber cable, I'm trying to remove the very end of the fiber connector that holds all of the fibers together. How the hell do you get if off....it seems glued in. Isn't it supposed to be reconnected to the cable after length adjustment. Your help advice would be very much appreciated as I don't want to cause any damage tying to remove it. Thanks
Hi! I have a question..my house is under construction and i want to add the star lights effect outdoor (there is a cover)...can i do it with the gypsum board instead of panels??
As we get older more child like we become he hee > ITS YOUR HOUSE DO IT THE WAY THAT PLEASES YOU! What i do! I'am the one that lives in it. AWESOME I'am doing strip lights and title ! OMG I LOVE TITLE ! its got the look of Italian marble and the feel of marble. Got every counter done in title, even window seals in title . The strip light bring the house out of darkness and hidden things. That needs to be showed off. it show the color of my log cabin logs> ITS Gorgeous inside 👀 The looks of the Italian marble title really sets it off 👍
What dimensions are your starlight accoustic pannels, Iv added the chinly light source to wish list . The issue I have is I have a load bearing beam across middle of room left to right as you sit facing screen . I'll probably need 2 chinlys ? The beam hangs down so not recessed.
@@BuildMontage thankyou mines probably about half vertical wise about same as yours width I'd get two in the space I'm thinking. Do you recommend particular accoustic pannels , I'd like it dual purpose noise reduction and for starlight
Looks great. Well done. Before I buy myself, I'm trying to find out (unsuccessfully) if I connect the CHINLY light engine to a smart outlet (to use for Google Home), Do the lights remember the last known state and the lights turn on automatically when power is turned on at the wall, or does it go into a standby mode and you still need to use the app to then enable it? If you've come across this, any info would be great. Thanks; and keep the vids coming..
Brad Paton good question. I can’t test as mine are hard wired. From memory when I was testing they do remember the last state they were in. But don’t hold me to that.
Question about RGBIC lights. You show 3 GOVEE lights. Whats the difference. They seem to have like 6 which are all confusing. Obviously want the BEST, So which to get?
Hey amazing work! Just wondering if you drilled the ceiling channels into the studs or avoided the studs? I'm worried if I try using a hollow wall anchor in the stud it'll split the stud itself
I didnt intentionally avoid the studs but it just turned out that way. I dont think it will matter too much if you just drill straight into the stud with a screw.
Great work. I'm in the process of repainting the interior of our home and will do this in our theater when finished. Where did you source the acoustic boards for the ceiling? Thanks for the great how to!

Youthman thanks Michael, was a long project around 3 months start to finish. And yes my wife has the patience of a saint 😂 (from the intro!)
This project is sooooo cool!
I'm trying to recreate this in my bedroom as I always dreamt of something like this!
I was curious how you did this with your finished ceiling and now I know! This gives me I inspiration for my room! My overhead speakers will be in the bulkhead like your. Brilliant!
“Why did you let go?”
“I didn’t”
Had me cracking up
U can do it. Maybe I need to fly over and help you! Yeah poor Mim... felt bad lol
Very impressive. Looks great. Excellent trick with the hot knife. 😉. What a genius.
HAHAHAHA!!! Yep we didn't record the one we did together so lucky I had two more panels to do it with :)
Absolutely amazing! I am definitely going to do this for my gaming room!
Just love the star ceiling man - so, so cool!
Glad to see names of light motor. Didn't know what to call it. Looks great Tony.
I linked them in the description as well. Very affordable and produce a great result.
The hard work paid off. Turned out very nice Tony. And congrats on another top video!!
Thanks Paul 👍

Amazing work Tony!
Thanks Oskar! Appreciate your support
I Love it ✨🪐💫✨ Looks Amazing brilliant idea with the magnetic ceiling. Thank you for sharing & God Bless🕊
Love your videos
Great job Tony, these acoustic panels immediately caught my eye when I was in Bunnings. The use of the white marker paint is a great idea. Thank you.
HAHA Yep, seems lots of people having the same idea... you can screw them in as well - i used magnets just to see how it worked, and it keeps the boards tight - screws will make a pin cushion effect.
I don't see the link for the boards unless it's the high end screens for the projectors. I've got to do this now!
No links for the boards is intentional. If your in Australia you can find them from Bunnings. Reach out if u get stuck!!
How would I look it up in the states? Acoustic material maybe?
Same question, for us here in the United States. Not sure what to search for.
Awesome video, definitely learning something new here thanks for the content!👍
Awesome, thank you!
Man Tony, your star ceiling turned out fantastic!! Great job, looks like all the hard work paid off. 😀
Thanks guys... its been an epic project over the last 3 months thats for sure!
This is amazing! Well done Tony and family 👍
This was a labour of love. Nicely done, mate! 👍👍
Can u share the link for the acoustic panels
I've been wanting to do this in my Man Cave. This video definitely gave me the confidence to finally do it. Thanks for uploading!

Ty, inspiring in a way that could be life changing. Attention to details. ..
Amazing vibe and video. Ty
That looks amazing
11:20 is that the way the manufacturer instructed to cut the bundles?
I really like how to put this together. I think I will put fiber optics in my media room as well based on good yours looks.
Awesome!
Can you share the resin glue for sticking the magnets to the panels?
Does any of that rattle or make any noise from vibrations from the sub?
Not at all, not even slightly. My room is vibration free!
@@BuildMontage great video. Thanks for sharing and giving me an idea for my room.
Anyone know where the metal battens can be found here in the US? I’ve checked both Home Depot’s & Lowes’ websites and neither seems to sell them 🤦🏾♂️
I've been waiting for this.. thank u so much
Could have used shims with a cutout and slide and click it into position. thinking of doing this and coating it with a bright epoxy color..
Edit: also.. you look like vinnie paz.

My new star ceiling which I am installing now is a refined version of this :) Stay tuned for that video!
Very nice job 👌
This is sick!!!!
Looks fantastic!
Thank you!
That intro! Looks amazing Tony, well done.
Yeah it’s cringeworthy that intro. Looks better in person. Can’t quite capture it on film. But thanks :)
Hi Tony, could you place the acoustic pin board over the atmos speakers
No definitely not you would need to cut the holes.
Awesome my next project
Thanks, man LOVE FROM INDIA
Thanks Doc!
Gotta throw Star Wars on the big screen after this. Well done. 😎
Absolutely!
Or just constant warp speed 7 loops

Good luck!
Love it--well done! 😊
Thank you! 😊
This video is the best diy for this project
Great job .
Great video ⚡️
I have circle ac vents sticking out. Should i cut a hole through or stick it under.
Yes that’s how I would do it - cut a hole
How do you get around speakers and vents for this? It looks lovely by the way.
Thank you! You can cut holes around them if you need to and glue some speaker cloth inside to hide the hole and allow sound to pass through. I didnt need to because my vents are in the alcove as my speakers are as well.
Do you know where you could pick up the acoustic panels in the Uk? Can’t find anywhere
Fantastic video Tony...well done on a great job!! The amount of thought and hard work that you and your family put into this is amazing. The end result is super impressive and inspiring! And thanks for the all the details!

Hi! I have a question..my house is under construction and i want to add the star lights effect outdoor (there is a cover)...can i do it with the gypsum board instead of panels??
Sure you can, you can use anything you like!
I'm thinking about doing a star ceiling. Is it okay to cover up my in ceiling atmos speakers with the star ceiling?
No I need to cut around them so the sound can pass through. It’s definitely possible.
As we get older more child like we become he hee > ITS YOUR HOUSE DO IT THE WAY THAT PLEASES YOU! What i do! I'am the one that lives in it. AWESOME I'am doing strip lights and title !

How much space would you recommend leaving between the panel and coffer walls so that the govee lights can light it up?
I would leave about 2cm
so by trimming the fibers at different lengths once the panels are up it gives a more random light effect then cutting them all the same length??
Correct!
How can fit this in my room
Can I purchase this
I want
i have a bunk bed i’m on the bottom bunk i want to put this above my bed on the bottom of the top bed how do u think this would work
Sure I can't see why not!
Hey mate, I’ve attempted to do this thanks to you. Question, how did you remove the fibres from the connector? Mine seem to be glued in
It's easier to buy a blank connector and strands and just pull them from the loop
Really awesome job bro.. congrats 👌👌👌
What dimensions are your starlight accoustic pannels, Iv added the chinly light source to wish list . The issue I have is I have a load bearing beam across middle of room left to right as you sit facing screen . I'll probably need 2 chinlys ? The beam hangs down so not recessed.
Sure they are 2440mm x 1660mm. I have 3 in total.
@@BuildMontage thankyou mines probably about half vertical wise about same as yours width I'd get two in the space I'm thinking. Do you recommend particular accoustic pannels , I'd like it dual purpose noise reduction and for starlight
Want to ask I was think about doing this with a carpet do you think stepping on it even if I cut it as short as I can do you think it could work
I personally wouldn’t as u would either prick your feet or push the divers through.
Wonder if this will hold with high sound and if it makes vibration sounds from metal to metal grinding
After 3 years, not a single sound, and I have 19 speakers/subwoofers in my room :)
@@BuildMontage so any foam board would do i guess. As long as it's light enough.
I love it! Can you please forward the link for the black acoustic pinboard please thanks!!

Looks great. Well done. Before I buy myself, I'm trying to find out (unsuccessfully) if I connect the CHINLY light engine to a smart outlet (to use for Google Home), Do the lights remember the last known state and the lights turn on automatically when power is turned on at the wall, or does it go into a standby mode and you still need to use the app to then enable it? If you've come across this, any info would be great. Thanks; and keep the vids coming..
Brad Paton good question. I can’t test as mine are hard wired. From memory when I was testing they do remember the last state they were in. But don’t hold me to that.
A wooden frame glued to the ceiling panel would have avoid waving. And put the magnets on that solid frame instead.
Many ways to do it for sure :)
Will you recommend the UFO light engine over Chinly??
No. I don't recommend any light over another. I just went with Chinly.
Question about RGBIC lights. You show 3 GOVEE lights. Whats the difference. They seem to have like 6 which are all confusing. Obviously want the BEST, So which to get?
Thanks dear friend
Hey amazing work! Just wondering if you drilled the ceiling channels into the studs or avoided the studs? I'm worried if I try using a hollow wall anchor in the stud it'll split the stud itself
I didnt intentionally avoid the studs but it just turned out that way. I dont think it will matter too much if you just drill straight into the stud with a screw.
Tony, how deep is your star ceiling from the tray that surrounds your ceiling? I am framing mine in & yours looks great.
Thanks! It's about 7mm from the ceiling using the channels.
Can we leave the device in the attic? Will it be okay in summer
Yes, it will be fine. Mine are inside my ceiling cavity and have been going fine since I installed.
@@BuildMontage thanks a lot for the detailed video. I got the fiber optics as mentioned in the video and going through installation now.
Did you use one light engine for each pannel?
How did you drill through the fabric without tearing it ?
It is quite solid so it drilled out quite easily.
HI NIce star ceiling! What are the black panels for the star ceiling made of?
Acoustic pinboard.
Great work. I'm in the process of repainting the interior of our home and will do this in our theater when finished. Where did you source the acoustic boards for the ceiling? Thanks for the great how to!
From Bunnings in Australia - not sure of where u are located?
