Nope. Not a typo. My daughter’s 2nd birthday was this weekend and I *finally* got to put together the “nursery” of my Pinterest dreams. At what age do we stop calling it a nursery? 🤔
The irony is that I *just* got this space together and she’s literally weeks away from outsmarting that crib. Toddler bed already in the works.
Why did it take so long? In short, we bought this house in a bit of a rush due to impending baby, and it was a fixer upper so we shared a room while the projects were ongoing. It still needs some work. We plan to replace her carpet and base trim (please excuse the carpet ripple),but that will have to wait until we can replenish our house project fund and energy.
Top Five Product/Gear List
1. Crib: IKEA
I know a lot of people choose this crib for budget reasons, but I honestly prefer its simplicity to many others I’ve seen that cost 2-6x as much. It’s a great minimalist nursery pick and you can’t beat the price.
2. Book Baskets: Amazon
We have these same ones in our kitchen as fruit baskets, and I mainly like that they match. But they also hold a lot of books, which is great. I think I might add a fourth basket because we’re currently at capacity.
3. Wall Decals: Amazon
These were super easy to apply and one pack was the exact quantity that I needed for the whole wall, which made my OCD happy.
4. Hatch Baby Rest: Amazon
This was a gift from my dad last xmas and I honestly wish I had set it up sooner (we were pretty short on space with the renovations in progress). I love that I can control it from my phone and I’m excited for the “time to rise” feature as she gets older.
5. Tent: DIY Tutorial
I followed this tutorial for the main frame, but I wanted a more minimal look for the fabric portion so just made some simple channels for the dowels to pass through at the bottom. I also added some holes near the top to pass a string through and secured it with wood beads, to prevent it from splaying open too far and collapsing. This project requires beginner sewing and woodshop skills, but the end result is awesome. This was our birthday gift to our daughter and she loves it so far.
I think everyone can find solace in the fact that a band would never announce or tease an album via their video guy. On the way to Walmart I pondered to myself, "how funny would it be to live stream this trip?" I actually ended up taking that rope light back - it was too heavy to hang the way I did so I ordered these which I think will work better. It's lighting for a bookshelf. So I first took a plug and wired it to a switch then the switch goes to a female end of the cable (all purchased from Lowes). I mounted the switch on the back of the bookshelf so I can turn the bookshelf on and off. Since the rope lights were too heavy to tape to the top of each shelf with 3M, I got something lighter that actually can be cut up into different lengths. I'll edit this post with pictures when it goes down!
I got you bro, https://www.amazon.com/GlowBowl-GB001-Motion-Activated-Nightlight/dp/B018Z0TE3K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468869832&sr=8-1&keywords=night+light+toilet

We use the Hatch Rest.
It has a multicolored light that allows you to pick the color or brightness. And there’s several noise options built in including nature noises, static, and lullabies.
You control it with your phone and can set up schedules for bed time, nap time, morning wake up. Or you can just adjust it as needed.
It’s $60, which seems steep, but for all of the options and how long we plan to use it, I think it’s worth the investment.

For anybody that want's to do this but are scared to solder,or just want things easier. They sell connectors for these light strips that get rid of having to solder completely.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00977FHG4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3A3W1Z0CUSK9T&coliid=I26ROOAIL77ZA4
Depends on the size of your room. I put together a list to the best of my abilities:
Probably start with something like this. They're 3.5m in length, so should be enough for most ceiling to floor installs. Say you're trying to fill a 300 sq.ft at a foot's distance for each, so you'll need at least 280 strings for somewhat even distribution. So that's at least $3500.
Second, you'll probably want some sort of scaffold attached to your ceiling, so that you can have space to run wiring from controller to the various LED strings. 2 feet of triangular photo light scaffolding runs at about $100, so I'm gonna take that. You'll need a conservative 50 of them to cover your 300sq ft ceiling adequately. So that's another conservative $5000.
LED control can be achieved with any computer, a few arduinos, and a few addressable LED controllers. Call this another conservative $1000.
Finally you'll spend a considerable amount (100+ hours) of time figuring out how to control all of this programmatically in a way that makes sense. That expense depends on how valuable your time is.
So I would call it $10k for a basic setup in a 300 sq foot room.

edit: for added effect, get about 5000 ping pong balls, and cut holes in them to mount onto the LEDs to diffuse the light.

Thats pretty much everything, i think. Every server that has dual PSU are split between the 2 UPS units. will most likely split off all the networking gear to a 3rd UPS when i get it in.

Lights and the switch, didn't want them on all the time
As of today I'm 39 weeks and our nursery is complete! The quilt was handmade by my husband's late grandmother, the crocheted blanket and punch needle embroidery piece was made by me, and the orange abstract print was made my husband during his time in undergrad BFA.
I've loved seeing everyone's nurseries come together over the last few months while I've followed this sub. Good luck to all those still working on theirs :)

Hatch baby rest. You decide the color, brightness, sound (or none), and volume and can change it from your phone or on the clock.

It is pretty easy to use, it has adhesive backing so it sticks. You can cut it to the length you need. I used These to connect the different strips that I cut. I also got some of This to extend the connectors.
Can you link which product you have there? Is it two separate strips that provide the different colors? Where is the strip attached on your setup? I have a similar stand but don't know if I should run the lights along the bottom, middle or top shelf.
This is the product I have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LRT0B56/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09__o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
LED strips are wonderful for that. Amazon sells them.
I used LED strips attached to an outdoor light-sensistive timer put on top of the cabinets, so I have light-sensitive LED underlighting.

power source
I put mine near the front of the cabinet, so they wouldn't ever be visable. If you want a wider range of light, put them closer to the back, and they'll cover the whole cabinet.
Good luck!
Yeah I got the warm white versions cause I wanted them less blue looking.
For dimmer this is what I got: http://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-Dimming-Controller-LED-Lights/dp/B003L4KKF2/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381518684&sr=1-1&keywords=led+dimmer
You're also going to need a power supply. I got this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Power-Suppply-Driver-Transformer/dp/B0034GUEY4/ref=pd_sim_hi_1
However, I wired all my wires by hand. They do have jacks on them though as well.
Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Inline-Dimmer-LED-Strips/dp/B004T9ITQ0/ref=sr_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381518743&sr=1-4&keywords=led+dimmer
And then you can use a generic laptop type power adapter as long as the wattage is correct. I plan on revamping my setup at some point to make it easier to setup.
Not really. I built a few of these for my closet. Got a led strip, 24v psu, and a couple magnetic switches for less than $50. Had enough to do the entire closet, couple drawers, and the underside of my kitchen cabinets. Those little LED strips are fucking handy.
Sure - I'll even give you the links and the code!

Connected it to my HA server with a USB cable, clicked the flash button and waited a minute or two. Went to Integrations page, selected esphome and entered the IP address in the code above and voila, I had a controllable lightstrip in HA with special effects included.
I initially just added the effects lines, but then I added the ones with custom values and reflashed it.

Cheap enough and basically the perfect length. They're usb powered, drilled just small enough holes in the side of the case to wire the usb cord through, then wired the cables through the wall down to a usb powered hub on the floor.

I am in the process of using a cheap 5050 LED strip and wiring it into a nodeMCU wifi arduino board. This allows the hue and brightness to be changed via wifi from the nodeMCU webserver. Then you can use a home bridge plugin to control that via homekit.
LED Strip and nodeMCU tutorial
Homebridge plugin
All the parts for the 10m 5050 LED Strip and nodeMCU cost between $30-$40
Another alternative would be the Xiaomi YeeLight Strip, its also $30-$40 but only 2m.
It's much less hassle and there is a homebirdge plugin here

Has a remote, app, and will sync to music or whatever. Only gripe is that it doesn’t get as dim as I’d like but crank it up in a dark room and it can blow your eyes out.
Another thing, using a super bright point source light for a work light is usually a bad idea. It will cast shadows, be very harsh on your eyes and overall be a very difficult light to work with. (If you use it in like a lamp like this then it maybe ok)
Yes! This is what I have;
Globe Electric 56963 Metal Clamp - Swing Arm Multi-Joint Desk Lamp, 32", Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HX2EVPS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_UpcxDb1ZPR8HD
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MHLIFO8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Got that on amazon, then taped it from the bottom corner where the door hinge is, around the top, and across the other side. Left a 1-inch margin between the strip and the glass edge, so its behind the metal bar piece of the detolf (so it doesnt cast a shadow), and plugged it in. It took me all of 10 minutes to measure out and set up, easy as pie.
I use this. This should convert dmx to led talk. And you will need a power supply.
For best results I power my strips from both aide. Other wise they will get darker as the strip gets longer.
It is a bright screen, depending on what you upgraded from. I have the same monitor and it hurt my eyes as well, to the point where I bought this. It has helped immensely and has RGB. If you can afford it, get one.

I had to cut off maybe like 2 inches and it fits well. surprisingly it doesnt heat up either.
YES! We got this one.
My kids will be 2 next month. Before we got the clock they would wake up and immediately start screaming and crying. Now they wake up and see that it isn't green yet and either go back to sleep or talk to themselves or each other until it turns green. As soon as it turns they excitedly start talking about the light.
This light has made my mornings so much better!
I will never have a set up without it. This winter I upgraded to a LED controller that can be changed via Amazon Alexa. ALEXA LEDS ON! ALEXA TURN LEDS BLUE! Such a sweet little mod.
Thanks! They are the ustellar dimmable LED strips from Amazon. I also mounted them in an aluminum channel system instead of sticking them directly on the glass.

It is called a nano leaf. To get one as big as the post is around $400.
Combine two of the $199 9 Piece packs to get 18 piece like OP Has to get best value
You can also get a 15 Piece start pack for 349.99
Weirdly even the knock off brands are pretty expensive.
[The Brione Smart LED Light has 9 pieces and is 179.99](
https://www.amazon.com/Brione-Decoration-Multicolor-Adjustable-Bluetooth/dp/B07K9MPW4D/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=nano+leaf&qid=1564423025&s=gateway&sr=8-17)
Even Ali Express ones are stupid expensive for some reason.
The 9 Piece square knock off brand is 211.41.
The 4 piece fake brand names ones are 108.99
tl:dr There are a few options but if you want a device that will be reliable and effective you'll need a standalone GPS system typically used by hunters ($$$).
"Used for any 12 volt application (motorcycle, car or suv auto modding)."
You need a 12 volt adapter. Find one for purchase.
You should redesign this and remove that as you call it 'fancy switch' and get a proper home automation system. I use Vera a vera Lite
Then you can do so much more. For example I use this on my RGBW light strips.
As for the power yes as other have said you need to use the existing outlets to power a 12 volt power supply. I use these for that.
Now that you have the Zwave hub then you can start to automate many other lights in the house.
Check out r/homeautomation/ for more ideas

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006U5SE7U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can make your own for literally $20. All you need is this and some plastic gutter that costs $6 from Lowes. Then you can spray paint it black, and bam you've got yourself a light of whatever size you want for a planted tank.
Looks like Amazon has Price matched as well

I am actually using 4 strips in total. I remember them being a lot cheaper when I first got them, though.
Here is the link to where I got them: https://www.amazon.ca/Vansky-Lighting-Desktop-fatigue-increase/dp/B01A9RN2L2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1501100239&sr=8-2&keywords=led+backlight.
So I have one strip that goes around the back of my first monitor, and another strip that goes around the back of my second monitor. I changed both of these strips to cyan.
I then have two strips lined up at the back of my desk. I changed both of these strips to orange.
All of these strips are connected via USB. Therefore, I needed 4 USB ports to light them up.
I also did not expect the strips to be so short when they came in. I would've just gotten one strip for my desk if I actually checked the length of the strips before buying them.

Place looks great. A couple recommendations:
1: The record player on the ground looks a little off. Using an Ikea cube shelf would look great and give you room for the records. It's only like $35 http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/60275812/
2: Add some color. Unless you are into the dark colors like me then keep it as is. One cool thing to add that I just found out are an LED strip Amazon has that just powers on the USB port of the tv. It's simple and looks great:

I recommend the Yeelight bulbs. I now have a bunch in my house since they are pretty inexpensive and do not require a hub. They work flawlessly with my Echo. They are $25 right now I believe and they were about $45 when I bought them so it's a steal.

I hope you guys like my bumblebee nursery! Most of the stuff was secondhand/ hand me downs other than what we got for the baby shower. The thing I'm most proud of is the decorations above the crib. The flowers were my husband's idea! I hot glued sparkly scrapbook bee stickers into them and also painted the sign. The honeycomb decor by the couch didn't turn out quite as well as I hoped but I'm still proud! And the "sweet as can bee" sign that's hard to see on the bedside table was hand painted by one of my childhood friends, I can't believe how adorable it is!
Now we're just missing a baby!
This is what worked for us when our son started that phase:
Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine, Night Light and Time-to-Rise https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMRCC94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_GbxZDb9NV56EZ
We programmed it to be red during his "sleeping time" and used different colors for when it was ok to get up/ask to cuddle etc, and essentially told him that when it's red it's time to stay in bed unless you have to go potty. Took a couple weeks of "your light is red, go back to bed", but then worked like a charm. Not sure if it'll work with others, just thought I'd share. Good luck!

It depends on the look you want to go for. My room started off looking a lot like yours with the beige on beige carpet and walls, minus the ummm..... unique drape. ;) I repainted and added some chair railing but that may be more than what you want to do.
LED lights are an easy, inexpensive addition. They allow you to change the entire look of the room at a moments notice and when you don't want them, turn them off. This is a great set for the price that allows you to turn them off/on and go through lots of settings with your phone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLNDJ2N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1
If you want the neon lights look of an 80s arcades, there are a lot of options on Amazon. You have old fashion neon signs and more modern LED based "Arcade" signs. A search for "Arcade Light" on Amazon gives you lots of options. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=arcade+light&i=tools&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
​
The Arcade1up Pacman and Galaga ship lights are fantastic for the price, especially if you find them on clearance (I got them for $8 each) just be prepared to run some mini usb wires for power to them and they eat batteries fast. Their light up Marques they recently released are also pretty cool but at $60 each, there may be better options.
Personally I'm going with game themed artwork that matches some of the cabs. I have this TMNT and I have a 4 panel Mortal Kombat piece that should arrive this week and a 4 panel Infinity glove piece coming in next week that will go over the Marvel Limited Edition cab when it arrives. https://imgur.com/AQNFxhe
These can be found Beeshop and Mojo Canvas. Just keep in mind that these come from China so expect a near month wait for them to be delivered.
they expensive
Pictures with those will always be a subtle flex now
They are the Nanoleaf panels, I highly recommend them. They are pricey but I was fortunate enough to get mine used from a friend. Here’s a link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FZGZS4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vlISCb44G0ND3

WARING: Very expensive!
Also, they require a Hue Bridge to function.
Also, it only works on PC.

Would also recommend a fog machine, lava lamps, backlit/neon artwork. Oh and I did notice even with the laser and led strip on there wasn’t a whole lot of light on the tapestries so I’d say just for a bit more ambient lighting a Phillips hue would be a good investment. I’ve still got some stuff to do to tie it all together but it’s a good start lol
Costco down throw
Z-Lite Pad cut down to size
Nite Ize Clip light for collar
Cheap tupperware bowls for food/water.
A bell. (This in particular has been a huge help. Allows you to continue hiking while the dog bushwacks around, and gives a good idea of whether your dog has stopped moving to investigate something if you don't have eyes on them.)
I also have a Spliff and my doggo pulls me too! I like that you have a harness on your pup, I've seen dogs with collars being chocked as they run -_-
If you plan on mushing at night, I'd recommend this for your dog's collar and these for your board! This combo makes you and your dog visible, plus glow wheels are dope. Here's a video showing how bright they are in different settings. Have fun!

The LEDs installed real easy, the adhesive is strong and I've not had any problems in 6 months of use
A couple different ways depending on how you want them ran.
If you have a 12v patio light transformer/timer you could just cut each bulb out and wire in a socket and then put in a led bulb after that cut off the plug and splice on a wire and run it to the 12v patio box.
If no patio box you would need a 120v ac to 12v DC converter where you would cut if the plug and splice it to the converter.
Also depending on what type of bulb is in there you may be able to find just the bulbs and change them.
Take a picture of the bulb and socket so I can see what type of base it is
I know I'm not really answering your question here... but we just installed 5 more foot of cabinet space and my wife wanted some under cabinet lighting. I looked on Amazon and most of the stuff was pretty expensive.
I opted instead to do LED strip lighting and ordered 32' of it + transformer + dimmer for the same price as 24" of any of the other solutions. The pluses are:

Here's what I got:

I used 2x 16ft strips and it worked just fine. Came up to a total of $63.25

Very similar to these, just slightly different remote.

I thought my Pedal Power would power them, but they draw too much so I use the courtesy outlet. They are awesome though and I'd recommend them for any kind of fun LED lighting. I'd like to get another set for behind my monitors!
This, and this

Camera above your head: Logitech C920 webcam, mounted on a boom arm (can be positioned however you want to). It's a decent enough quality if you have good lighting. Couple of high power, bright white lights on a table stand and you should be good. I'm using one right now, but if I could, I'd use two.

Taking pictures of your work: a good DSLR camera would be suited, with a good lens. Expensive option though. You could get away with using the webcam to take pictures and it'll look decent. Sony A6000 is a nice option, and if you want something fancier, Sony A7 III.
I used my two desk lamps with very white bulbs as seen in this photo.
I positioned the lamps to be in front of the shoes for each photo so that I could have good lighting from two sides.
Looks like OP just cut up a strip of WS2812's like this one.
Amazon:
$49.97 LightStrip Plus$23.99 Extension11/28 Edit: it's over 😞
It's the Philips Hue LightStrip Plus Dimmable LED Smart Light (all of my smart lights are Philips Hue).
It has the full color spectrum, and the strip can be both trimmed and extended. It connects to the bridge I already own, and it can be controlled as part of the room or independently ("Alexa, turn on the living room lights," "Alexa, make the light strip blue," and so on). It has its own adhesive so that it can be attached to the backs of shelves, televisions, and so on.
It's a bit pricy, at about $90 MSRP, but I picked it up on-sale at MicroCenter during the Christmas holidays.

Keep in mind you also need the Hue Hub for this. Probably not worth it unless already invested into the Hue System.
Lifx is another option with no hub required.
One thing I'll add is that I like the hue lights because I can control them with my harmony remote and with Google Assistant.
this. Seems expensive, it's from a douschey brand, but trust. The little bottle has lasted me nearly three years now (i too have a windowless bathroom).
One or two drops and that's it. Plus guests and ladyfriends laugh at the sight of it in a good way.
Cheap sprays or scent basins just smell super chemically and awful. Another recommendation which is cool are the mist atomizers that light up. You basically drop the same essential oils and they evaporate into the air. This bullshit. Next, toss this shit into your bowl and you'll be all right.

Right - now that you mention it I remember you talking in a thread a few weeks back about making these
I don’t doubt that they’re indestructible. They look it.
Just sayin that these are pretty cheap and I’d be pretty surprised if you could find anything on playa that could damage them.
For example:

1000 of these: https://www.amazon.com/ALITOVE-LED-Individually-Addressable-Waterproof/dp/B01AG923GI
El Wire is great because is can be shaped easily but the battery packs are usually big.
I use an LED light strip that is USB and attach it to a small USB charging stick These are what I am talking about.
https://www.amazon.com/YEELIGHT-Changing-Smartphone-Compatible-Lighting/dp/B01LRT0B56/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
I have a couple of Yeelight light strips behind the desk and monitors which are connected to a Xiaomi gateway and probably soon to a Home Assistant Box.
Xiaomi have these little motion sensors about the size of a cork that you can use to automatically turn the LED's on when you enter the room and off when you're away for X minutes.
Or you can just get the Yeelight strips and manually control them via the switch or phone app.
It's called the hatch.
And it's pretty awesome.
I have a Hatch Baby Rest that has several colors you can use as a nightlight. When the light is red, my son knows it's time to "sleep in bed," but if it's green, he's ok to come get me. You set the time for the lights to come on and off. It's also got white noise and lullaby sounds if that's your jam.
This thing has been life changing for us.
I bought this and they work pretty well.

Here they are.
Here's the before.
No filter, no co2, no ferts. The light is a full 16 ft strip of these attached carefully with a staple gun.
My anubias started to rot so they were removed, cleaned up and floating in another tank for now.
It started with a couple of small runner transplants, 2 bunches of subulata and 2 plants that were just labeled 'sagittaria' from pet supermarket. The 'sagitarria' plants had a few broader leaves (visible in the back right of the before) when I purchased them that melted away and no more have popped up. Waiting another week or two to trim out a couple of their runners that sprouted above the substrate to start a 29. Gonna let them and dwarf sag completely take over that tank.
​
Thank you! I'm not great at woodworking but I learned a lot from the first one and will be making more for my other 3 cases.
For the lights, I watched a quick tutorial How to set LED Strip Lights on Your Detolf Shelf or Display Case.
The lights were pretty inexpensive and don't make a huge mess. Plus they were easy to install. I ordered the strip lights from Amazon Ustellar Dimmable LED Light Strip Kit and they took about 10 minutes to set up each one.
Tahnks again and I hope this helps.
Something like this
Lights on the contact poi? I mean, I've never personally heard of that. Maybe putting Nite Ize in the pomgrips, but that's about it.
Now, if you want LED poi that are made for contact, you have a few options.

EDIT: btw, someone here is shadowbanned. Currently this posts says there are 2 comments, but only mine shows.
We've definitely been almost schmucked a few times walking late in my neighborhood, so I figure it can't hurt. I use one of these little guys.
No adverse reactions from other dogs, though we don't run into too many walking a dusk/night.
These things work pretty well and are fairly bright for their size, but ones that blink are even better.
You're not wrong, though for being able to see the dog (not necessarily illuminate much else) I've actually had one of these on his collar for the past six months or so that works pretty well for what it is.
As someone who's recently begun night-time MTB riding through the forest with their dog, I'd highly recommend getting some kind of LED light that hangs from their collar. I dropped about $6 on this guy at a local store, but there are plenty of options.
Not only does it help you know where your dog is if he's outside the beam of your light, it helps you quickly know if the illuminated eyes staring back at you out of the darkness belong to your friendly puppers, or a ferocious beast of the night.
Unless your puppers is in fact a ferocious beast of the night.
Are you looking for something to light your way so you can see? Or something that just makes you visible to motorists? If the later, you can find red blinker lights at any sporting goods store. If the former, you could try something like this or this. Or why not just get a regular headlamp and lengthen the strap to fit around your waist? My suspicion, however, is that it will be bouncing around an awful lot in that position.
To power your controller and LED strip, you'll need a power supply/transformer like, LEDwholesalers 12 Volt DC Waterpoof LED Power Suppply Driver Transformer with 3-Prong Plug, 30W, 3207 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034GUEY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Cu1tyb54516DB
The positive/12v cable connects to the PWR slot on the Fibaro, along with the positive cable from your power supply.
The longer the LED strip, the more wattage you'll need off the transformer.
I've found the above 30w to power a full 20 foot run easily.
It's a garbage power supply. Buy a decent one. Definitely make sure you don't overload it with too long of a strip. A 5 meter 12V strip usually needs 60W. Any fraction smaller than that and you can get a smaller power supply. If these words don't mean anything to you then you need to get learning on youtube.
I've had good luck with the 30W and 60W versions of this:
https://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-Waterpoof-Suppply-Transformer-3207/dp/B0034GUEY4/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=led+wholesalers+power+supply&qid=1574379699&sr=8-7
So the panels are just pieces of finish quality ply, with different items attached.
Panel 1 has a counter bell from a kitchen supply store (the top comes off and I screw through the base to attach it. Just make sure that you place clapper of the bell so that gravity holds it down.)
Panel 2. The sparkly letters are duck tape. There's a scrub sponge and a piece of sandpaper..
Panel 3 is just general hardware, plus a retracing key ring that I get at Lowes. If you ask the key guy for miscuts, he'll probably have a box full to give you.
Panel 4: I bent a sprayed a piece of round stock, then punched a hole through a dowel, which I then cut into the sliders.
Panel 5. You can buy little spring clips, a D-ring and chain, hook them together and it clicks and rattles.
The LEDs were a real learning experience. LEDs run on DC, so you need an transformer to step the 120V AC from an outlet down to 12VDC. (I used this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0034GUEY4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) I mounted it in the end with the LEDs (you can tell how deep that area is, that's to give it all room to breathe) I used little pucks to keep it from being against the wood, because if you leave it plugged in for hours at a time, it does get hot. Power exits from that into the switches (which are just standard house units),in parallel then into the LEDs, which are wired in series.
LEDs will self-limit. That means (as far as I could teach myself) that if you string the right number together, they don't need resistors to regulate them, or they need very small resistors. I used http://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/ledcalc.php to calculate. (FWIW, I miscalculated at some point and exploded a string). Small loss.
LEDs run cool, so once I had them all in place, I just epoxied them into the end plate. and heat shrunk all of the wiring. Then I connected the switches and closed up the box.
I think. It's been more than a year since I did it. Of course, I should have written everything down and taken progress pictures, but alas....
(I mostly used the power of google on how to wire the LEDs, as far as power and mounting boards.)
I guess you could call it DIY, but it was pretty easy. I bought the components from Amazon:
The transformer plugs into the wall and then into the dimmer (I extended the wires using 12v wire I had on hand and butt contectors) then 2 wires out of the dimmer into the strip of lights. The light strip comes with a standard looking DC connector, which I removed and just hard wired it. I also used the entire strip, but it can be cut every two inches at certain points. If you choose to cut the strip, you will need to solder the wires onto the strip. Since I used the entire strip I just used the included wire (after removing the DC connector thing)
Yes, if you find the transformer, then replacing it with a 12v transformer that has a minimum rating below the draw of your LED lamps will make them work.
They are 3W each, so all six would be 18W, but I'm sure they rounded up. I'd make sure the minimum rating of the new transformer is below 15W just to be sure if you go with a transformer designed for halogen lights, or just go with one designed for led lights that is more than 18W as its max rating.
Here you go.
these ones: https://www.amazon.com/HitLights-Waterproof-Flexible-UL-Listed-Connectors/dp/B006U5SE7U/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=hitlights+led+strip+lights&psr=EY17&qid=1575097637&s=black-friday&sprefix=hitlights&sr=1-3-catcorr
but they're inside the case.
OP Delivers and sorry for the delay. Thanks to /u/maxwellsearcy for reminding me!
Now, cut the plugs off one side of the lights and off the power supply. Match the wires up on the Dresden ballast with RGB+ on the LEDs. Carefully strip away the outer shielding on the power supply cord and then strip the tiny wires on the inside of the power supply wire. Put those into the power screw points on the Dresden. Plug it in and test. It should come on a solid color.
Now that you have it working, go into your Hue app and scan for new lights. You will see 2 lights pop up for every Dresden ballast you configure. Once it's done scanning, click them in the app and make sure they flash. One of them will NOT flash and you can safely delete that one.
That's it!
Here's what I would get as a budget option. The products posted are just examples, not necessarily something I would recommend. Just what I came across with a quick search on Amazon. I did something similar in my bedroom by dropping strips into crown molding that I put up about 6" below the ceiling.
LED strip lights, this will let you make 2 lines of them on top of the beam. Lay them out and test them before you tape them down, you may find that you need to mount them on something to give them a little angle to get full coverage. Your just going to have to experiment.
Jumper cables. These will let you cross the bumps in the beam without the lights sticking up and looking ugly, and then turn around to power the 2nd line. Get enough to make all the jumps you need, the turn and a couple extra.
Finally ditch the cotroller they come with. Those IR remotes are all crap and don't work very well. You have to end up standing in just the right spot with the controller pointed just right to make changes. Next I tried a wifi option with an app to control the lights. It worked ok, and being able to set them to turn on and off at certain times was nice. The problem was that it was slow, I found myself not turning them on very often because it would take a minute or two to open the app, wait for it to find the lights and then turn them on and change colors. I ended up with a remote similar to this one that was RF with a color wheel. It's not as precise as the wifi app and doesn't have lots of nifty features, but it's simple and easy.
Plain RGB strip? Just grab these jumpers or these corner connectors and cut the strip on the marks. Clip in the strip and bam, done.
Soldering: The led strip lights can be cut and and you can solder on some wire to make easy corners. I have a strip with whites in it so this is the wiring I ordered with mine. You would want wire for RGB strips (4 line) if you don't have and RGBW strip.
The strips usually ends with a cable and a 4pins male connector. But you also need to buy an adapter (look at my first comment ;) ) because also the motherboard got a 4pins male connector. So you need a female to female 4 pins cable. And if you plan to use the strip that you just cutted, than you need this kind of adapters:
https://www.amazon.com/WOWLED-10PCS-Female-Connector-Strip/dp/B01A0B8O24/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1505487537&sr=8-3&keywords=4+pin+cable+led+male
Also I suggest you to buy these connectors since it's pretty difficult sometimes to attach the strip on angles, with these you can just cut the strip in two pieces and connect it with the adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/Zitrades-10PCS-Connector-Conductor-Jumper/dp/B00977FHG4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1505487310&sr=8-4&keywords=led+strip+connector
EDIT: Regarding rainbow effect, that is what I was talking about. The whole led strip will change color continuously but always one color at once.
Another idea. Need to have the lights far from the power source? Use this cable with these connectors. A slight bit of soldering (use heat shrink tubing around the solder joints) and you're in the game!
I used this LED strip
The strip is 16 feet long, so i measured out a rectangle for the top of my case, and the front length of the case. I then cut the strip into sections so i could run the cable how i wanted.
I used these adapters to connect each of the sections i made
For the connection from the front left cable to the front right cable, i spliced one of the connectors with some white spare cable i bought, and ran it across the bottom of the case (seen in one of the pictures. Then i mounted everything with 3M mounting tape, which is highly recommended. Let me know if you have other questions, as I made some mistakes which cost me some length of LEDs but was overall not too hard.
I use these

They’re game changers. Good luck
I have been growing a bunch of different plants at my cubicle desk at work - which means nowhere near enough sunlight even for a spider plant - and that includes quite a few cottonwood seedlings who are all doing very well.
I use an LED grow light at home and and the office desk that does a lot for plants.
>Bulb: https://www.amazon.com/SANSI-Daylight-Spectrum-Sunlight-Greenhouse/dp/B07BRKG7X1/

>Lamp: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HX2EVPS/
It is a full spectrum light that is in the same range as natural sunlight. It has been perfect for me, every plant I have put under it has started putting out new growth almost right away and bends toward it just like they do with the sun. (Which is how I am getting interesting curves in my seedlings.)
You do need to keep the lamp about 16 to 18 inches from the plant to get the full amount of light for it though, but it will not put off any amount of heat worth worrying about.
I run a super budget setup as close to professional lighting as I can. Well it's budget in comparison to pro set ups.
I start with one of these.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014H2P89O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_wSnezbPMKMHMZ
It's dimmable so I can adust the brightness for any time of day and turn it off without messing around with switches.
I plug that into this.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HX2EVPS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_TVnezbVVQ3QQB
Well in reality I have a small desk lamp with a clip on it. It attaches to my monitor stand. But we'll get what ever lamp work for you.
Then I bought this soft box. Modified it slightly (just cut it open a little)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ENSKUUK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_eYnezbNZ9D1XR
Then bam. Simple and adjustable set up for my setup. I can make the light as bright or dull as required by the remaining room lighting.
Go for a larger softbox if you have room. I don't as I have all my monitors on a 2x2 stand!
(Not referral links)
That guy is pretty etiolated. Just because they are near a window doesn't mean they are getting adequate light. I have my succulents on a west-facing windowsill that gets blasted with super bright sunset light and yet they are STILL etiolating. You might want to either invest in a grow light or put in on a south-facing window. If you want to do a grow light (which I realize you are in an office and space is valuable), this clip lamp and this bulb.
Thanks! Absolutely.. here ya go.

These are the lights I bought! Super easy to install. There's also a compatible remote in case you can't easily reach the outlet to plug and unplug your lights but I passed on that. I believe it also can control exactly how bright the lights are in case you find they're too bright.
Okay I just found the link in case you're interested.

If not, I hope you find something you like. I chose them because I have a 60 year old vanity, and wanted something non damaging, but easy.

Hey OP, instead of keeping the info in chat I'll post here so others might be able to use it.
I'm assuming you have no experience splicing wires, soldering, or using heat shrink tubing, so I found some quick connect things you should be able to use.
So, the parts I have here are the LED Strip (marked as 'sections' since you will be cutting it), the L Connectors, the 'Wire Harnesses', the Adapters, and the Wire itself.
I drew up a small diagram here with explanation.
​
If you, or someone you know would be able to do the stuff mentioned above, this could have a lot less parts by doing aware with the adapters and wire harnesses and just soldering the wire between LED strips.
(Maybe there is a local Makerspace near you that could assist)
​
Also, instead of the LED strip method, I've seen people with LED bars the run the length of the shelf, and have wires to connect up to another bar. Something like this. (search" LED under cabinet lighting")
If the above diagram seems too difficult, or you're not able to get anyone to assist, then this would be a super easy option for you.

They're just LED strip lights! All I did was stick it onto my mirror, cut off the excess, plug some stuff in, and done! I bought this kit from amazon. It used to come with a remote, but it doesn't anymore apparently. :/ you can buy it separately though. this is the remote it previously came with
They were these ones which I bought from amazon. There was another redditor on this sub which shared it with me :). I think the item was originally on amazon US, but I found the same sku.

My guess would be ws2811 / ws2812 style addressable strip. And of course!
Yes - look for addressable RGB LEDs.
For example: https://www.amazon.com/ALITOVE-WS2812B-Individually-Addressable-Waterproof/dp/B00ZHB9M6A
Or just ws2812b (or apa102 for dotstar)

Here is the led strip. A little cheaper than neopixels but uses the same exact libraries.
For this demo, It is powered off of Arduino's micro usb. Seems to work fine for 18inches of strip. I do have a cheap 12v 3A power supply and a 5v step down to power it later, as I do not think that the micro usb arduino power can supply the TWO 18" led strips the final design will have wired to it.
Pi and Arduino were both from microcenter and I already had both . Everything else was originally from amazon. Not factored into my cost was the power supply. I already had one in my media center setup and was able to piggy back off that.

One of the issues with the strips is electrical efficiency.
They run at 12 volts and there are 3 LEDs in series. This is fine for the blue since blue LEDs have a voltage drop of 3.1-3.3 volts or so. Round up to 10 volts and you only lose 2 volt to the series resistor.
The red LEDs have a voltage drop of about 2.0-2.2 volts or so. Call it 6.5 volts for the 3 red LEDs in series. That means 5.5 volts is being lost to the resistor and wasted as heat.
Most all strips also use cheap Epistar LEDs which are also not very electrically efficient in general. You can find better strips like by Philips but are more expensive.
http://www.amazon.com/Philips-800284-Lightstrip-Plus-Generation/dp/B014H2OXYU/ref=pd_sim_201_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=318BBua5k4L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1NXDXB4BBSW1B01J8BKF
You really do get what you pay for so eBay rgb strips would have to be pretty close to the plants and you would have to look out for excess stem elongation. Our eyes are not very sensitive to red/blue light like green light so you would need an appropriate light meter to dial things in particularly for microgreens and for cloning.
Most everyone uses high power LEDs rather than medium (strip) or low power LEDs. You can get high power rbg LEDs on eBay but again it will be of low quality like pretty much all LED lighting sold on eBay. You longer term ROI (return on investment) tends to be better with higher quality LEDs and LED lights.

You need one of these set to blue.
Have you seen this?
I can show you mine, gimme a bit and I'll update this comment.
What I bought, this is the rgb version by the way. And what it looks like behind the monitor. Sorry for the potato quality on everything, this is the desk I take to work with me also.
I had the idea of splicing the Player 3 internal controller wires into a extra USB out and then buying one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Vansky-Lighting-Powered-backlight-Desktop/dp/B01A9RN2L2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519781097&sr=8-4&keywords=vansky+led
Get a clear case, use as much or as little of the LEDs as you want and then plug into the internal USB port.
I’ve used these Vansky LED strips from amazon and been pretty happy with them, they plug into a USB port for power instead of batteries and you can change the color of the lighting.

Looks dope to me, if you want to crank your RGB up to 11. (and save your eyes at night) you can get a pair of cheap bias lighting strips on amazon. I've gotten 3 and they're way cheaper than trying to get mystic sync ones just to have them cycle colors anyway.
Ones I get are 14 bucks a pop and I've got 4 of them now.

In the darker photos it's just the LED strip and the Hue+. Hope that helps!
This is exactly what I have
https://www.amazon.ca/YEELIGHT-Wireless-Dimmable-16million-Assistant/dp/B01LRT0B56
they are currently unviable and can't seem to find some that are not marked up. The app does a lot and has some decent features for the price of 39.99 CND.
I’ve no side hustle or self-employment at the moment so I don’t have any Cortexy advice, but what I do have like you is a 4yo and a nearly-1yo.
One thing I’ll say is that our key for our mornings is having a hatch white noise machine/nightlight for our toddler (paired with only quiet toys in her bedroom). It’s app-connected and you can schedule different schemes for it, so it turns on (ocean sounds, and it can do any hue so she picked a soft pink/purple) at bedtime every night, and it turns green with no sound at 8am every morning. That way, no matter what time she wakes up, she knows she has to stay in her room and stay quiet until her light turns green. She’s grown out of her afternoon naps now but we also had a separate scheme for that so she could differentiate naps from nighttime when she was getting old enough to still need a nap but not want to be shut in her room forever during the day. It helped her to know it was just ‘a short nap not a long nap’ (her words) like going to bed for the whole night. And further into that transition period, the afternoon light just meant ‘quiet time’ so whether she felt like sleeping or wanted to stay up and read, she still had to stay in her room and quiet for an hour or two until her light turned green.
Just something to consider: music actually stimulates babies, not necessarily helps them sleep. If you want something to help them sleep, a white noise sound machine is the way to go. Pretty much any sleep training guide you can find will recommend one.
We love our Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine. It doubles as a nightlight with different colors supposedly helping for different stages of the day or sleep and has a ton of white noise options as well as music so you have the option of sleep or stimulation.
We use this one
Mirari OK to Wake! Alarm Clock & Night-Light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EAHSBV4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KjiSCbFPTEFE3
He accepted it pretty easily because he loved the light up and little smile the clock did. We set it to show him what to look for and when the light went on we did a little dance saying ooooo he is smiling and dancing ready to wake up! My neighbor has a 2.5 yr old and just had a baby and she uses an okay to wake too but hers changes the color for when it is time to wake. My kid likes it dark so the Mirari works great for him since it only lights up when it is time to get up.
This is what my neighbor uses

This made a HUGE difference in sleep routines, because it automatically turns on and off based upon bedtimes and wake times.

this for 8.99
I believe it was this https://www.amazon.com/AMIR-Backlight-Lighting-Waterproof-controller/dp/B073NXF8B7
The monitor is 34” and the LEDs are as follows:
The ones behind the desk (I used a different power supply than the one included, and actually had these lights before I got my pc quite a while ago. Very good purchase.)
The ones behind the monitor (Not nearly as happy with these ones. They seem overpriced, and the colors aren’t very accurate. The white is plain awful, and the remote is way limited compared to the other strip. But the ease of use and “auto off while pc sleeps” is really nice, as well as the power coming directly off the monitor. They aren’t as bright either, but that’s due to power limits.)
Really the simplest would be to buy a cheap LED strip with a remote controller, cut it shorter, and stuff a bunch of the strip inside.

I did!
Done, took about 3 hours. Was alot easier than I thought it was going to be, and I have alot of things i'm going to change if/when I do it over again. The 2 biggest issues are the dimmer in the bottom, it works great but next time i'm going to put it out of sight out of the case, it works for now and doesn't look too bad. Next, I wired the whole thing in series, like a zigzag, so you might notice that the top shelf is dimmer than the bottom shelf. Frankly, this is good enough for me, but next time i'm going to run one wire, acting as a sort of wire harness, the brightness difference is pretty noticeable, but still looks good, I regret not doing it this time but ehhhhhh. I don't know much about electrical so I wasn't even thinking about this when I was doing it, it's an easy fix for next time or when I re-do this one, live and learn. The bottom 2 shelves are essentially place holders, all of those figures will be moving out soon to make room for more scales, and I have the rest of the keions coming in a few days. For a first time 3 Hour DIY, I think it's pretty good but it definitely has it's issues, what do you think?
I've only been collecting for about 8 months or so, I frequent buyfag threads and post updates on my MFC, this is my first time posting myself here.
I was going for budget and simplicity (in reality the wiring harness is easier and provides power more efficiently, whoops), I cut out half of my soldering with the corner connectors. Parts I used:

Off the top of my head, $500 sounds like much too little for all of what you are asking for, unfortunately. $500 can definitely get you a decent enough PC but it probably won't have everything you want; especially regarding fancy lighting and low noise levels. If you're planning on buying everything new, then a half-decent monitor and Windows alone will cost you $150 or more, leaving $350 for the actual PC- sure you can get an ok pc for that much, but it definitely won't be running any games on high settings even at 1080p.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jjx7kd
This is what I could come up with for about $506 on pcpartpicker. It's a fairly decent system, but definitely not the prettiest. I also didn't include an operating system (Windows license) because a legitimate license costs about 20% of your whole budget. You can install and use Windows without a license with some restrictions (eg a watermark) until you can save up some money to buy a license.
I would suggest that you don't focus on the aesthetics of the build right now with your budget, and instead, upgrade later. The case I included has a tempered glass side so the insides are nice and visible. When you can save up some more cash, you could buy an inexpensive LED strip and stick that inside your case to immediately upgrade your style by +10. You could get a $20 led strip with a little remote like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PLNDJ2N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BGKpDbTYKD36X although getting the power cord in the case might be an issue. Alternatively you could get an nzxt hue lighting system which is designed to be put inside your case and can be controlled by your PC but that's much more expensive. The advantage of the latter solution is you can also add led fans and other accessories later.
Swiffer's are pretty great for cleaning floors and they aren't expensive. Also get a small vacuum for any carpeting. If you like coffee, definitely get a Keurig. If you're in an area that has cold winters, a comforter for your bed will be important (there are some really cute ones at Target). For when it's warmer out, having a small fan will help the air in your room circulate better. As for LED light strips, this one from Amazon worked really well for me.
It’s Phillips Hue lighting and then run through an HDMI sync box lol. Kinda expensive but looks super sick.

What about a small LED clip-on? Easier, cheaper, more effective at night and less messy than using paint.
We use these for our labs when we are out running with them before the sun comes up and it works great.
We do a lot of off leash trail runs as well and add on a tiny bell so that others on the trail know something is coming and don’t get spooked in case a gigantic dog comes barreling around the corner
My buddy came up with the idea, but we use dog collar LED lights (also at Home Depot) on our discs. Just remove light from metal ring, drill hole in disc, secure light, enjoy.
Pros: watching it soar at night, not losing your disc, playing after sunset, light shines through both sides
Cons: affects disc flight, falls off if you hit a tree hard, big hole in disc
edit: I'll post an actual photo of disc when off work.

I recommend modifying it to use a standard household bulb. You are essentially building a sconce. I would look into something like these plus a 12V PSU like this. You will also need a socket like this.
Thanks! They were the first ones we put in - the BoM was super cheap too:
2 - LED rolls @ $11.64 (really used 1 1/4 of em)
1 - transformer @ $15.50
1 - connectors for the corners @ $4.99
Total cost was about $50.
The second set (under the sink and rangetop) is in parallel to the first because while the transformer could handle 1 1/2 strands, a continuous run may only be one strand

I was thinking more like this, unless you want to be able to switch to 5v to test FCs etc, you probably don't need a variable supply. Quads will generally run very happily on 12v (about 3S)
I'm assuming you're from the States. I'm based in the UK, had a look on the American amazon and found this. It should work.

I've found this 120v AC to 12v DC converter on amazon, would something like this allow me to use the pin I've already installed into the machine?

I tried gutting the old fluorescent fixtures and putting these strips in them with these power supplies. I only did two of the 6 so far because I wanted to see how they held up after a year or so.
So far so-so, its more work than its worth and I would rather buy some than do the rest of them, but I haven't found any that look good and are hard wired for 110V (most have plugs).
I suppose I will finish them eventually as I already have all the parts.
Also, I can control them all with this remote, which is nice.

I went with the Animal Plastics T8, didn't seem worth the extra $50 for 3" of vertical space that my BPs wouldn't use. I skipped the UTH and went with overhead heat with a Radiant Heat Panel. More expensive, but heats very well. The reality is that a tank can work, but it takes much more constant monitoring and tweaking.
My setup:

These are the ones I had on my plasma and now KS8000 and they work very well. Have them all in a rectangle on the back and I like how they have different colors too. The only draw back is that I used 3M tape to adhere them instead cause the ones on the lights were flimsy.

hello all,
I have some standard LED light strips in a room that are all hooked up via separate kits I purchased on amazon, this is the kit. I am interested in getting the existing lights I have setup to work with a wireless hub as smart lights. I have found a few systems from Philips, and Sylvania, but they are 5 pin lights instead of the standard 4. I have also found some controllers that I can solder into place and use instead of the current controllers for my lights.
Does any one have any suggestions for a product I can use to smarten up my lighting system without having to do any soldering? If not, does anyone know of a product that includes good comprehensive guide to setup and installation of the lights? ...or just where to start with this whole thing?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006U5SE7U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're super cheap :) And I can change the colors via the remote which is awesome! :)

I am using this kit from amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006U5SE7U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The adhesive that comes on the light strips sucks. I recommend that get some 3M double sided tape to fix this problem.

I second this. They're pretty good.
Alternatively, if you'd like something a little more visible, I've got these along the edges of my desk. The "Eclipse - Media Kit" is 3' of LED strips for $20.
I think I may heed your advice and get some RGB ones.
As for your comment on soldering, I am a little nervous about that. At least at my newbie status with all of this. Do any of these do the same thing?

These look like "dumb" led strips (no onboard electronics). You either need to solder the ends or use one of the solderless connectors. These are for making nice corners: https://www.amazon.com/Connector-JACKYLED-Non-waterproof-Splitter-conductor/dp/B011BD2B5Q/ref=pd_sim_86_24?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B011BD2B5Q&pd_rd_r=YBEV9BRYYGQ25YR29T5C&pd_rd_w=NsgMN&pd_rd_wg=gO6Fc&psc=1&refRID=YBEV9BRYYGQ25YR29T5C and these can be used to join strips https://www.amazon.com/Zitrades-10PCS-Connector-Conductor-Jumper/dp/B00977FHG4/ref=pd_sim_86_28?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00977FHG4&pd_rd_r=YBEV9BRYYGQ25YR29T5C&pd_rd_w=NsgMN&pd_rd_wg=gO6Fc&psc=1&refRID=YBEV9BRYYGQ25YR29T5C
The one's you linked should work. I'd highly suggest connecting each monitor's strip in parallel as well to reduce issues with how much current the strips draw and avoid having some of the LEDs dimmer (the ones at the far end of the strip)
Basically you just connect them to a 12V power supply and a controller. You can cut the strips to whatever lengths you need and wire them in series. This guide has a lot more information. The ones that I used are the brighter 5050 RGB LEDs.
If you don't want to mess with ordering the parts separately you can find kits like this one. Also, if you want to cut strips and not have to mess with soldering them together you can get straight connectors like these or connectors like these for any right angles that you need to make.
Awesome product, thanks for letting me know it exists.
If you scroll along the "Customers who bought this product also bought" bar on that page you'll find These connectors and they lead on to loads of different options.

I also ordered these connectors:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00977FHG4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The kit comes with 16' of lights, and you can cut them to the length you need and use the connectors to bind them for working around corners or covering large spaces. Taking into account the space in my marquee that's lost to the speakers, 16' was just enough, but the inverter that comes with the kit can drive more, so you could order an additional strip by itself on the cheap to expand if needed.
I would recommend 2 of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Globe-Electric-56963-Swing-Finish/dp/B00HX2EVPS/ref=sr_1_12?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1463438726&sr=1-12&keywords=desktop+lamp
with these:

Set one up on each side so the light comes from above your shoulders.
You could get a clamp light like this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HX2EVPS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oeMqDbAP9ZZTH) and clamp it to that shelf and put a grow bulb in it so you can place it above. Just make sure the lamp can handle your bulb wattage. Or I’m sure a floor reading lamp works great too.
Chairs are super tricky, I would recommend trying them out before buying. The next chair I get will probably be an ergohuman style chair. ( Something with an aggressive lumbar and a headrest which is lacking in most chairs )
Any normal looking chair with robust padding is probably a 'safe' choice though. Just stay away from barely padded fake leather chairs. Padding is really the most important factor if you're going in blind.
I have a cheap swing-arm lamp - $20 - with a - $4 - clamp-on mechanism for my desk. That and a bright white, high lumen bulb will work very well for $30~. A friend has a more robust version, which is basically a giant hinged arm with built-in, color-changing LED bulbs. That's much more impressive but is > $100.

I use a swing-arm clamp lamp (The kind with a long reach) and a floor standing lamp. I use GE Reveal bulbs, 75W in the swing arm lamp and a 50/100/150 3-way in the floor lamp. I like being able to adjust the ambient light to similar levels regardless of the day/night/weather factor
My only beef with many hobby store brushes is the dreaded "hook-tip" that cheap nylon brushes quickly develop. Otherwise, you are right. You don't need ultra high-end brushes. Just one or two solid kolinksy sable ones of appropriate size.
I TOTALLY agree with the decent lamps. I have 2 swing arm lamps clamped to my desk that I angle to the middle so that I don't have shadows. Here are some like I use.
It's just a pretty cheap one from Amazon. I think it's the one I linked below. I do like it, I've just changed the bulb to one I like better.

i bought light box fabric and [a cheap desk clamp lamp] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HX2EVPS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages01) works fine
I think every shop needs a lamp like this with the brightest LED you can get. LEDs are great, all I ever use anymore.
What size of tank do you have? I used 3 of these for a 55 gallon tank. It's actually on the side of too much light. I put them in rain gutter like this that I bought from home depot.
Hehe thank you. I use these with an rf remote
Ok so I was thinking of using the LED strip, then use the T-shape connector and the L-shape connector to connect all the strip together. The T-shape connector will be connect with a cord as well like in the diagram I drew. But I’m a noob and I don’t know if this is possible to make, and what kind of cord or wire should I use in this case? Anyone have any idea or guidance here to help me out?

I bought this one first, but I didn't care for the bright daylight white lights, so I reordered the same kit with warm white lights. I couldn't find that link though. I used thin wire between the shelves. They're hardly noticeable at all if you work them just right.
Link to bucket pics
I used:
Yes, good eye! We used this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MHLIFO8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It can be cut to desired length. We we only put one strip in towards the front but after having all our minerals in there it would be better to have a second in the back. Also the underside of the tape that is adhesive is like a copper look, so we are going to get some white opaque tape to cover it from the outside.
Thanks for the props. As for the lights, I have a set of these in each case. They are just beyond long enough to fit up, over, and down again; so the end needs to be cut off. They also, have remotes that operate on the same frequency.
There are other types available as well, including multicolor or soft white.
Thank you for your response. I do have another question. How would I attach the five wires coming out of these? Would I have to attach 2 wires into one or something like that.
I'm not sure if this is the form factor you're looking for or not. I've used two of these sets with my pi3 and had no problem powering and addressing all 300 lights. Admittedly I've only powered all of them at once for a few minutes at a time at this point.
Here's the lights I'm using:
http://www.amazon.com/ALITOVE-WS2812B-Individually-Addressable-Waterproof/dp/B00ZHB9M6A
This is what I've used to power the lights.
http://www.amazon.com/XKTTSUEERCRR-Supply-Adapter-Charger-WS2811/dp/B00MOAR0M0
Here's the adapter I used to connect the lights to the power supply:
http://www.amazon.com/Maxmoral-Female-Power-5-5mm-Adapter/dp/B00XJ23U3A
The rpi_ws281x library works on the pi3 and is available here:
https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x
The sample code is pretty easy to follow and has some interesting effects ready to run.
It looks like the power supply is 5V 2.5mA. If I go with 5V LEDs like the below, I feel like it should work. Then again, I'm not electrician, I'm just making things up as I go.

Lol. I'm in this now. I am going to make a program that supports typical R / G / B / 12v 4 pin headers and the (DeepCool has it on their coolers, but its now pretty standard) 3 pin + power addressable RGB strips.
​
Like get a remind me for this. I am gonna make it happen.
Gonna use an Electron/NodeJS GUI for it and everything.
​
I'll begin with this project and go from there.
​
I will go as far as mapping each sound input and output device to any RGB strips connected to a PC.
​
Oh lord I'll even be using some of this code from the best rainmeter plugin there is.
​
Best part:
Things like these and thesewill be compatible.
Sorry, I probably should have had more details. They are WS2812B. They came in a 150 strip from Amazon (Link below). I have cut it down to 121 LED and arranged from in a matrix. I've tried reuploading a smaller simple piece of code, and it won't light up still. Bear in mind the LEDs were working perfectly when I got them. I will post the simple code and make a wiring diagram when I get home. Thanks.

The one you listed doesn’t have the RGB version available - is something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZHB9M6A/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 okay?
The bulb resets to the normal white light at full brightness (i.e., 2710K). You may want to complement the A19 bulbs with a Lightstrip Plus. These have the same color representation as the Gen 3 bulbs and work great under counters or behind TVs: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Lightstrip-Generation-Works-Amazon/dp/B014H2OXYU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1499286818&sr=1-1&keywords=B014H2OXYU&linkCode=ll1&tag=huelig0f-20&linkId=3802c08990317c43565155ebca823ddc
unfortunately, the philips hue light strip is not cheap either..
https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Lightstrip-Generation-Works-Amazon/dp/B014H2OXYU
(remember you need the bridge for it to work)
The lightstrip happens to be on sale today: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Lightstrip-Generation-Works-Amazon/dp/B014H2OXYU
I take it this is your application given the TF2 videos are already on the page?
Regardless, I don't have any Hue lights but I've wanted some for a while. Would I need a bridge for this or could I just buy this and have it working standalone?
Right, I'm not suggesting you build the thing DIY. I'm just saying you need the "smartness" to be in the lightstrip itself rather than the plug, because there is no reliable, standard way for a plug to tell a lightstrip what brightness to go to. In the old days, dimmer switches worked in ways that modern LEDs don't like. So the lightstrip itself has to be able to modulate brightness on its own.
The one I linked to, and others like it, have mobile apps with timer functions. You don't have to DIY anything, just set the timing in the app.
Edit: If you prefer a name-brand one:

It'll require a Hue bridge though.
This the non dimmable one?Or is it this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014H2OXYU ?Here's the deal- $50 for the lightstrip and $50 for 4x white bulbs

Will also ask Phillips if it will be possible in a future firmware update.

Hey, fella. This looks beautiful. Well done. I imagined doing something like this myself, once, but the technical know-how is... not something I possess. This is very helpful. In my dream setup, it'd be done using the hue version, so I could control the case lights from my phone. But thanks a lot for posting this. :)
In my example, I believe I would need 3 FLS-PP IP Zigbee ballasts ($55ea), 1-2 RGBW LED strips ($17ea), 3 power adaptors ($17ea), a splitter (~$15ea), and 4 ethernet cable adaptors (~$20 total). Grand total ~$268 on the conservative end + tax.
Or I could buy 3 Hue lightstrips ($90ea), splitter (~$15ea), and 4 ethernet cable adaptors (~$20 total). Grand total ~$305 + tax.
I could save ~$40 or bite the bullet and know that my current ecosystem will work seamlessly with the Hue lightstrips. Either way its not cheap but there are trade offs to going the DIY route.
Please disprove my estimates/theory, I would happily pay less for a setup with equal functionality :)
P.S. I'll add links to the items listed above but I'm on the train commuting in and the wifi sucks :/
It's not a frequency thing, it's a light thing. My nightlight doesn't shine on the toilet so my aim is off. If I sit, I'm too old and fat to want to struggle getting back up. I usually pee in the sink but the rest of the family frowns upon that.
I got mine at Walgreen's for $10. Amazon also has it:

I have both of these. The main difference is that the first one is multi-color. Also, having USB power is better than Ikea's AC power since you can plug it into your TV's USB outlet and then the lights will turn on with your TV.

I am planning on powering it with an external power supply i bought, but again, confused on the wiring of all of it w/ the power supply
these were the lights we used
Do you want/need the ability to change the colors? I feel like adding color changing with mobile control is a bit overkill here. A simple backing board with LEDs hardwired, an on/off button or switch, and a small cord to plug it into the wall would be enough. Even if you want to use an Arduino I'd still suggest plugging in into a wall instead of batteries, especially if you include some form of mobile link.
​
Edit: if you are not good with circuits I would suggest starting with something like this, a power supply ( the 5V one they suggest will work) , and an Arduino with a library that works with the WS2811. Plug the lights into holes on a firm thin board behind the planets and light them up or flash them with the arduino. If you don't like the big bulbs and can solder you could also just glue these to the board.
If you get that going then add the mobile control, or don't, later.

If you don’t know how to drive the lights, get a micro:bit. And look up tutorials for micro:bit and neopixel.
Here's my initial write-up on it. I'm using 12mm "pixels" (no endorsement, just first link I found on amazon) but I'm using a ws2801 version. For power, I'm now using four 3A power supplies, each with a battery pack of six shitty 18650 cells in parallel which means I basically don't have to worry about running out of battery in an evening out but I've got more size/weight in battery than I would have if I had built my battery pack out of better cells.
You can possibly use these.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AG923GI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, they are similar to what you have shown. I am just getting back into RPi, and arduino. I bought a string of these last christmas and they are pretty cool. They use the libraries that Adafruit has for the 2811 and another library but I can't remember it off the top of my head and I have to start from scratch I think I may have been using arduino for this, but Pi may work too?
The lights are individually addressable, so when they're hooked up to an Arduino, you can set each light to blink individually, be a different color, etc. I used this Arduino library and these lights.
Just look on Amazon lol.
The lights: https://www.amazon.com/BackLight-eTopxizu-Multi-colour-Controller-Background/dp/B01FJUMP6M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1487801343&sr=8-5&keywords=computer+led
I was thinking of using these https://www.amazon.com/Backlight-eTopxizu-Multi-Colour-Controller-Background/dp/B01FJUMP6M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1539218417&sr=8-4&keywords=led+usb+strip
I think I would need 2-3 per case. So far I found this bigger battery I think would work well.

Very, if you don't have a molex plug on your gpu then they sell some that run off of USB.
These are pretty good intro into the world of LEDs:

I was referring to this my h270 gigabyte gaming supports 12V while the LED is 4V, is this okay? Really worried it might fry my mobo since its cheap
You're correct:

Here you go
Seriously, you can't go wrong with this thing as far as desk lighting (or behind the monitor). If you want it for your case, simply cut to fit.
This guy right here!
I bought a gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 motherboard and it came with a 5 pin rgb header cable. My rgb strip only has 4 pins. It says WBRG^ underneath the 5 pins which im guessing is white blue red green and ground but in what way should I insert the rgb strip's pins? This is the item. In what way should i put in the pins?
My friend told me about that a few months back and I think they might exist now but I'm not sure.
For OP - These just came in today and they look sweet plus one of the modes cycles through the spectrum. I wouldn't call it a "wave" as in the colors change from left to right, like an RGB keyboard; they all change at once and you can control the speed too
Yeelight strip
Lifx strip (still expensive but no hub required)
[More DIY option ](https://www.amazon.com/Nexlux-Wireless-Controlled-Waterproof-Assistant/dp/B072DXFKRH/

Has a good app and works great with Google Home/Assistant, IFTTT, Alexa...
https://i.imgur.com/Xibdqh9.jpg
I have a Yeelight Smart RGB Bulb on the lamp behind the monitor too. It's so convenient to just tell Google what color and brightness you want the lamp and strip to be.
Check out the Yeelight wifi lightstrip. I just got one last week and integrated it with Home-Assistant, and it's pretty awesome.
I have it set to a dim backlight when I start Plex and then bright rotating colors when I stop/pause Plex.
The Yeelight strip does everything Hue does. Great price at $29.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LRT0B56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_X0eCzbAAFJVMQ
If you want cheaper, there are "magic home" wifi controllers on eBay for about $7 into which you can plug super cheap eBay led strips
The Yeelight lightstrip
I have used 3 different brands of LED strips and these are the cheapest and the best out of the ones that I have used. https://www.amazon.com/Sunnest-Waterproof-300leds-Flexible-Controller/dp/B07571JKPC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1504672180&sr=8-6&keywords=sunnest+leds
I have been looking for something that I can control with Alexa and I am going to be buying these for my college crib, they seem like a nice cheaper alternative to Phillips Hue. I can't speak for the quality on these yet though.
https://www.amazon.com/Lightstrip-Changing-Smartphone-Compatible-Lighting/dp/B01LRT0B56/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1504672130&sr=8-5&keywords=alexa+led+strip
Still significantly pricier in Canada, but the Yeelights are one of the cheaper options that support automation. Not sure about Smartthings specifically, but they work with Home Assistant at least. Looks like they can be had used for a reasonable price on Amazon.
So this is baby # 2 and we were all about the hand me downs this time around. Would’ve liked to paint but we rent and I didn’t feel like dealing with all that. We did have a baby sprinkle and scored some big ticket items like a double stroller, infant car seat, diapers, and swing. First time mamas, let me encourage you to buy secondhand. I could’ve saved literally over a $1,000 on my first born’s nursery had I been a little more open to used items. IMO, both nurseries are just as nice except this one was substantially cheaper to create.
Not easily seen from my poor quality video are Babar prints. If you can just look past the fact that it’s a story endorsing French imperialism, one can’t resist having an elephant nursery without Babar the elephant!
Top five items:
1.) Secondhand IKEA crib; my friend used this with all three of her kids. It is the Snigler crib. Super basic but super reliable.
2.) Dresser: secondhand, purchased on Facebook marketplace. Also has changing table topper but we omitted using that and just secured the changing pad to back of dresser.
3.) Elephant decals: Wall Pops WPK0841 WPK0841 Tag... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E2XCOB4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

4.) Hatch sound machine: we used this with our first (still do) and it was a sleep game changer. In my opinion, the best white noise machine on market. Also doubles as an ok to wake clock and is operable from your smart phone!

5.) Ubbi diaper pail: we’ve tried several diaper pails over the years and this is the most smell proof and easy to use. It has a lock mechanism to prevent curious hands from digging through dirty diapers and can use regular garbage bags.

I have one of those and it works great. Bluetooth so you can control with your phone and it has schedules. You can also use it when they get older to signal when they can get out of bed. It has color changing capability.
What are you looking to spend? If money is no object, get a Snoo bassinet! If that’s not realistic, we’ve loved this light/white noise machine- Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine, Night Light and Time-to-Rise https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMRCC94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CWgHDb7X9Z7ZQ. It’s programmable and you can turn it on remotely to help get your baby back to sleep without going into its room. We love ours!
My wife and I recommend the Hatch Baby Rest: https://smile.amazon.com/Hatch-Baby-Night-Light-Machine/dp/B06XMRCC94
You can get a sound machine for less BUT I love two things about this: I can control it from my phone without Internet and the company is amazing. The only issue that we've had so far is that the white noise setting fades in and out on our original one. They shipped us a replacement that turned out to be defective and then shipped out a replacement for that defective one. I kept the original one to use as a travel light and will be buying another one after our second child is born.
One of my take aways from the books was establishing connections between sleep and environment. Happiest baby recommended always using white noise for naps/sleeping because it’s soothing for babies and creates a healthy sleep association. Like being in a darkened room or swaddled. Basically you wouldn’t want to do any of these associations during alert time because it would confuse them, but naps and deep sleep you want to use similar triggers. Adding things like a bath or massage to the bedtime routine will help them learn more about the difference between naps and nighttime sleep. We use this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMRCC94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.DJTCbAF320W2
It’s a little more expensive but has Bluetooth so I can adjust while she’s in my lap, timers, and an adjustable nightlight.
Something like This?
Nexlux, it's a Chinese company. They have their own "Magic Home" app that's probably the same concept, but it doesn't let you write code to control the lights. I'm basically trying to do the same things as the app, except from my laptop.
i would recommend an led light strip like this

For a long game this makes sense, currently, I use wemo for managing lights, air conditioner etc.
Currently, my other option is to return bloom and buy something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Nexlux-Wireless-Controller-Working-Android/dp/B072DXFKRH/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1499177748&sr=8-3&keywords=smart%2Bwifi%2Bled&th=1

You don't need anything particularly fancy. Just get a simple kit like this. They're designed to be cut apart, you can attach multiple lengths together with some wire and very easy soldering.
Buy
($6)Wires:For the MOFSET mod
($1o)MOFSET
($6)Wire spades:For the MOFSET mod
($8)Assorted M3 Bolts:You need some for a few mods and for the bolts you will inevitably strip on this
cheapwonderful machine($13)Longer assorted M3 Bolts:For a few mods
($9)M4 Bolts:For one of the mods
($9)Metric allen wrench set:Had to order one of these since metric tools aren’t common round these parts
(~$20) PLA of preferred choice- You’ll run out of the sample bit quick so go ahead and order a roll or two to be prepared. You will note some upgrades require ABS so a small spool of that to your order will also help.
($6)M3 Lock nuts:Critically needed for a simple mod
($10)Threaded rod and nuts:Please note that this item seemed difficult to find online. I recommend going to your local hardware store and getting two 5/16” rods of at least 16” in length. They should have an assortment of threaded rod in various lengths available. Also note that the pitch of the threading matches the nuts you buy. Further instructions regarding this can be seen in Azza’s Z-Axis braces below.)
($6)9mm Wrench for the nozzle: Don’t wait for your first clog, go ahead and have this on hand to remove/change the nozzle. Note to only tighten/loosen the nozzle when heated.
Below is the order of printable upgrades I recommend but I suggest you mix in a few other prints along the way because this is a hobby after all and you should be having fun. It helps to have your quality as tuned in as much as possible for some of these so be patient and keep trying if you need to.
Print
Spool holder- temporary : Until you can mount your spool on top of the enclosure or any other personal preference.
Belt tensioner- print x2
Z-brace
Shielded stop button
Cable relocator : It’s a pain, but if you spend the time to do this and turn your extruder motor 90 degrees then you can get the full Z height without ruining your cables. It does involve opening all the cables to the PSU and feeding a few extra inches back through the cable chains.
Cable shroud : Looks nice if you do the cable relocator.
The following need to be printed in ABS:
M3 Bed Nut retainer: 10/10 upgrade. I know they look worse than the nice metal stock ones, but these help keep your bed level longer.
CiiCooler
Glass bed Holder
Now that the first major round of printed upgrades is done it’s time to shift to a few more supplies to pick up to really fine tune the machine.
Buy
($5)Radial fan: For CiiCooler
($5)Glue sticksThis and a glass bed is magic
($25)Borosilicate glass 8” x 8”
($26)Y-Carriage plate upgrade: This has been a nice upgrade as I now only need to relevel the bed every couple weeks instead of every print. Check out this guide for a ‘how to’ as well as a free upgrade by shifting your Y pulley over.
($15)rechargeable dehumidifier: For keeping in the bin with your opened filaments
($9)Extruder gears: Might be able to hold off on these, but will need eventually. If for some reason you have a Maker Select with metal X-axis blocks (V1 and V2, but not V2.1) then this is a must. You can follow this guide for a how to.
($28)Metal extruder plate and lever: Not needed, but nice.
($14)Noctua 40mm fan: Not needed, but makes the printer a lot quitter. A LOT quieter.
($50)MicroSwiss All Metal Hot End: The destruction of my PTFE tube by this point pushed me to doing this upgrade. If needed you can follow this guide for replacement. Remember to tighten/loosen when the nozzle its hot.
($6)Ceramic cotton: Tore off the stock one when replacing for the all metal hot end by accident. At least its thicker than stock
Now that the printer is in its final form, its time for the enclosure which is a stacked Ikea Lack hack.
Print
Spool holder
Pi Case
120mm fan cover
Fan grill
120mm fan PSU modification: I edited this to fit upside down since my PSU is mounted on the underside. This was nice since I blew the 40mm fan anyways so it made everything a lot quieter than before.
IKEA Lack filament guide
Webcam holder: This is one I designed specifically for the webcam I happen to have lying around. The camera mount piece can be changed out no problem though for what ever webcam you have or buy. The SketchUp file is included on Thingiverse for such purpose.
Buy
($20)2x Ikea Lack: Luckily there is one right down the street from me. I am located in North America though, so we do not have the STUVA, if you live literally anywhere else you may check in to this as an alternative.
($80)Plexi glass for enclosure: Could be cheaper alternatives, but it looks cool
($9)Foam pads for feet
($42)Raspberry Pi3: For OctoPrint. I also suggest using a different USB cable than the stock one provided by Monoprice or you will have issues.
($9)2x 120mm fans: Used for the power supply cooling and enclosure
($6)Rocker Switches so that the enclosure fan can be on for PLA, but off for ABS
($15)Dimmable LED lights
($10)8mm LED light connectors
Total:
$250 printer + $452 upgrades/parts + ~$80 PLA/ABS to date

The batteries don't last nearly long enough and honestly LED strip lighting is cheaper. $15 and comes with power supply, dimmer and mounting brackets. You will have to get a bit creative in cutting and routing wires through or behind your cabinets, but it's worth the extra effort since it's better lighting and you'll never have to change batteries. There are also a range of angled brackets and diffusers that are pretty cheap as well.
I used a Ustellar LED Strip! It comes with its own power supply and dimmable switch, which was super great. It's got an adhesive back to it so all I did was cut it to length and stick it on and that's literally it.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/Ustellar-Dimmable-Daylight-Lighting-Non-waterproof/dp/B075RYSHQQ
Best decision I made in regards to workstations. I get even lighting all around my workstation so I'm never having to readjust for when my giant head is in the way of my lightsource and it even takes pretty good WiP shots!
I used this single color LED strip from Amazon and this IR sensor. I took out all the guns and shelves and taped it up (using the backing, they're self-stick) from the plug end first and ran it alongside the far right wall, across the top, then down the left wall and cut it at the floor (there are "cut here" marks). The LED strip then plugs into the IR sensor, which plugs into the power supply that came with the LED strip.
I ran the IR sensor near the hinge because that's the easiest spot, and used a scrap of wood along to clamp it in place using screws into the side of the safe. That bit I'm not sure about, since it may be less than ideal, and certainly looks hackish, but taping it didn't work (wall's fabric is too loose) and I didn't want to cut out a square of the fabric to tape it directly to the solid surface beneath.
Depends on how deep your aquarium is, and how bright the florescent bulb is. But probably not enough light tbh. Here's what I've been doing lately. Get some LED strip lights, then attach them however you want. You could remove the florescent blulb and attach these inside the light fixture you already have. You could even wrap them around your florescent light bulb. Or you could create your own light fixture using rain gutter from a hardware store (if you are in the US, i'd recommend Lowes over home depot, they have better gutter at Lowes). It will be long (15 feet or so) so you'll have to run it back and forth a few times. This will give you enough light to grow even high light plants.
Also, it seems counterintuitive, but I'd recommend the non-waterproof lights. They are much brighter.
Hi. I have found better lights and I modified the back plate to accommodate the new lights and still work with the old lights. I also removed all the hooks so it can print flat and fast.
Would you like the file to add to your thingiverse listing or should I add it as a remix?
One last option I'm thinking is make the slot for the cord in one of the pillars and then you can have all 4 sides lit.

Ill snag a pic of the door when I get home.
Just wanted to share my current display case setup.
I used this Ikea cabinet ($169) with this LED light strip ($15).
I originally bought a different LED strip, but it wasn't nearly bright enough. This one gets super bright and comes with a dimmer, so you can play with the lighting level.
Bonus feature is the rack at the bottom that perfectly holds the game box!
Edit: forgot to mention that you'll need to drill a hole in the steel plate at the bottom to feed your power cord through for the LED strip. I used a drill bit designed to cut through metal, and then added a little poster tack to the sharp edges so I don't accidentally fray the power cord.
I’m big on lights and audio.
I think good lighting can really increase the joy of living in your space.
That being said, I’ve tried a lot of smart lights. Cheap strip lights, hue, and LIFX.
My favorite for matching to the music is the NanoLeaf light panels with the rhythm attachment. They are pricey, but the effects are incredible, best colors I’ve seen by far, and they can dance to the music really well. The rhythm module has a 3.5mm line in that you can use to get it perfectly matched with the music, plus it has a mic for standard use. If you can afford to waste money on lights these are the way to go.

I've been wanting to do something similar for a while now. these LED strip lights could be a good start, my church has the same ones and they're pretty dope.
