Thank you for explaining everything. I started small but the monster got me and now I have too much. I started making things just for looks and started running out of room. I took down the leds I have on the TV wall. Before I put them back up again and run up my lighting bill; I'm hoping you'll add some suggestions and ideas. I'm not a designer or architect and have nothing but a soldering iron (which I'm still learning) and a screw driver. Thank you in advance for anything time you spend on this and any advice that can help me. I'll hold out as long as possible . I've already installed , and tore down this wall three or four times . I will send attachments of videos.
Man, now I see more of the vid, this whole house is dy-no-miiiiiite!!!! But I am immeasurably grateful and immeasurably humbly blessed to have my apt.

How would you suggest to install a LED strip for and old type of house that has no modern furniture surfaces? I am contemplating to use a white edge-trimming channel with a 12mm wide bottom and 20mm one side and 10mm the other side. This is all I could get locally for a smooth surface to stick it to. I have no plasterboard surface to attach it to which allegedly ain't the best either, is it?
@Gk2003m7 ай бұрын
My LED lights are under the kitchen cabinets, on two high shelves in the living room, and on one high shelf in the dining room. That’s it, no more needed. They are Hue because back when I did it, they (along with the other Hue color lights) were the easiest to integrate into the smart home. Now there are other options that work equally well for less money.

Here's a question though... if you don't use, or even want to, use lightbulbs, is there a way to gi about that without being like that gaudy room you showed in the beginning? I like LED colors, and to be honest, i can't stand the brightness of standard lightbulbs...

@@DuncanBuilds ah, that's good to know... For reference, I CAN actually stand regular lights, as far as common areas are concerned, such as public places, but for whatever reason, if I'm in my room, it just feels TOO bright normally, if I have my IR controlled lightbulb set to white, considering how much I actually use it in white, anyways... It's on the lowest dim setting, and on the RED color, approximately 99.9% of the time, even at night, and when I'm sleeping, to be honest,(although I'm sure there's almost has to be SOMETHING bad about doing so, healthwise) and I just prefer if at all possible to have somewhat hidden lights, such as behind some kind of ceiling molding with 45° angled diffuser strips, if I ever get to building me a computer workshop, in the future.(it's a plan I've had forever, but never have the time or money to accomplish) in the meantime though, I'd love to be able to do up a plan for my 7½ft x 11ft bedroom, that could easily be scaled up to the slightly bigger 8x17(give or take) final proposed dimensions, for my computer workshop... I might have to take you up on your offer of design ideas you currently have in use, at some point soon, just to use as a reference... One other thing, which might not matter, but I want known, is the fact that I don't care what color white light the strips give off, and (unfortunately, some would say) prefer the kind of glacier white, or off bluish white, mixing the RGB channels creates. I know that probably makes me weird, but that's ok, to me. The only thing I really care about with LED strip lights, is that I would prefer to have the LEDs bouncing light off the ceiling or some other way of lighting the entire space, so that the actual "glow" from the LEDs is semi hidden; think of it as wanting to know that I have strips there, but not to be able to look directly at them, similar to how you wouldn't want to be looking directly at a laser beam...
@DuncanBuilds8 ай бұрын
@@northwiebesick7136 Yea i know what you mean. I prefered the brighter white almost blueish tone for a long time. Only recently made the switch to a warmer tone. But what you're talking about wanting to accomplish is very easy and you've got the right idea. Some crown moulding installed 6-8" below the ceiling will accomplish the look you want. I also prefer to keep my place dimly lit

I joined the Marines at 24 Percent body fat at 24 years (205 lbs). When I entered flight school I was 174 lbs at 5' 11" less than five months later. In flight school I had a good friend who was a nutritionist and gym trainer from Orlando in training with me. I went from 174 back to 200 lbs but in muscle. It became less manageable with my schedule, but man did I feel and look good. Cardio to lose weight was half the battle, but the loose skin I had took me to the gym. I'm now finding that good balance in being able to maintain, and your video helps. Incline treadmill and stair climb is all you need for cardio, I would increase that to 30 minutes a day to accelerate the fat burn around the lower belly (that is where most my fat goes as well).

I found them to be mostly helpful, albeit mildly annoying at times. But I have to preface that by saying that driving this car, full send, on a track, is a very engrossing experience that really required all of my attention. Meaning that while yes I was mildly aware of what the co-driver was saying it was background noise to what the car and I were doing. Not sure if that makes sense, but her prompts were not as prevalent in the moment as they come across in the video. Thanks so much for watching! this February I am returning to drive at gt2 rs.

I just splurged on some cheap strip lights that I picked up at a big box store, and then spent a few hours last night installing them in my living room. The whole thing was a fail. Strip lights require research and planning, and the RGB lights are neat but I really just want to add a warm incandescent glow to fill in a few dark spots, so RGBs are useless for my purpose. Research, plan the pathways, buy quality lighting, use extra mounting hardware, and dont go nuts.

I have LEDs underneath my cabinets and Island. And it’s also connected via wifi and a daily timer/schedule as well as GPS when I’m near the house…. You made a comment in your vid that said “less is better”. So my question to you is: Should I run and extension from the bottom of all the LEDs in each cabinet and with that, install LEDs on top of all the cabinets? Too much?

@@DuncanBuilds I have plenty of space. The homebuilder didn’t put cabinets all the way to the ceiling as some other homes have it. I’m planning to drill from the bottom and work my way up. I don’t think I’m going to fill the inside with LEDs because there isn’t any glass to showcase the LEDs. It’s just closed cabinets. So I figured I might as well skip the middle and go to the top.

Its massively stable, I can stand on any part of the cantilever at 230lbs and it doesnt budge. it's survived 3 moves and aside from a little wear and tear is still working great.

Planning LEDs for under counter lights. I was looking for an actual "how to install" LED with the clip connectors vs soldering. So many different types, 6 pin vs 3 pin, controllers, and 90 degree clips, connectors, extension plain wire. Thanks for the guidance
@DuncanBuilds Жыл бұрын
I dont recommend using the clip connecters. They are generally trash and quite difficult to work with. I always solder. I'd also recommend going with either 4 pin or 5 pin LED's. The biggest difference being that the 5 pin gives you much greater control of the white color, allowing you to change its temperature from warmer to colder, where's the 4 pin only allows for the colder temp version of white, roughly 4-5k kelvin.
