Some J B welding should work for your magnet idea... bad ass man cave!!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching and appreciate the tip! I'll for sure have to check that product out! Thanks buddy!

[@rayncadiana]

For the pegboard led installation it would be easier and better to only loop the data wire from first to last and feed the power parallel down so that every strip is directly connected to the "3 port wago" at the beginning. this way the voltage wont drop along the way and make the brightness/colors fade.

[@True_Muslim_Momin]

Good idea 💡 Only data needs to travel in the direction or the arrow. 👍🏽

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thats a really great idea! Thanks for sharing. I never even though of that but it would also mean I wouldn't have to do as much soldering. Love it and thanks for the great tip!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

That's right! I totally forgot to mention that in the video! Thanks for the reminder!

[@user_i.d]

Definitely one of the best comments so far, people that are not electrician don't think about voltage drop in there projects

[@ReelSpider]

Mar the smooth metal surfaces with 220 grit sandpaper before you superglue. The scratches and grooves created give the superglue something to grab onto, increasing the lateral stress failure point. This trick helps with most glues or epoxy.

[@ReelSpider]

DON"T SAND YOUR PEX! Use acetone to wipe that print right off, no effort, no scratched up tube!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and for the advice! I'll for sure remember this!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks again!! Sounds much easier than sanding!

[@0rapter]

the purpose to putting the wires in separate holes on the wago is that it looks neater

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for the reply! That does make sense! In my mind I was like there is no reason why 2 wires twisted together in one slot would not work but i didn't know for sure if there was a major reason why it shouldn't be done!

You can do these kind of makeovers, even if the usual products are expensive, there should always be an alternative that, with a little effort, can do the same thing. Also try not to set your expectations too high, even if it’s half as good as this, that is still a really good setup.

[@rafaelandresrubianolozano4991]

Great work dude!

[@SeanMather]

These are some great ideas. One thought though would have been for the lamp is to use a smart bulb and an optional smart button, and then just pull the chain, leave it on, and tuck it away. Set the button to control the bulb, and then mount the button on the lamp. Much less soldering required.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and glad you liked the projects! That's a really good idea! Anytime there is an option for less soldering, I'm a fan lol. I don't mind soldering and its easier than I initially thought but its still somewhat time consuming! Thanks for sharing the great idea!

[@Raptor-Jesus]

Would the smart bulb have the multi layer color thats shown in the clip? or the flame flicker effect? That might make the led strip option better.

[@josephlintner3967]

[@neophytealpha]

For the lamp, there are LED RGB bulbs that screw in and have a remote.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks! That is a good idea and would be very easy to do! I could be wrong but I dont think i've seen a lightbulb that is able to have multiple different led colors on at once like the leds strips are able to do? Do you know of any that is able to create a gradient like look with just one bulb?!

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! You for sure could use a light bulb and it would definitely be easier! The only thing you would lose is that gradient type effect that you get with strips since light bulbs (as far as i'm aware of) are still only to just display one color at a time.

Hey Chris, Could you explain to me why you wouldn't recommend to use the silicon coated LEDS for the stand up lighting? Is this due to heat or diffusion issues? Or is it fine to use just not preferred? Many thanks, awesome project!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! Great question! If you are referring to the project in the right back corner, then I would not use the ones with silicon. The only reason I wouldn't is because when I drilled the little holes, the individual leds fit in the circles which is what I was wanting. If there was the silicone on the strips, they would not fit in the holes if that makes sense. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with the silicone leds at all and certainly a time and place for them!

Chris, absolutely love this compilation of projects put together. I was so intrigued by the Corner led Pex project and decided to take it on myself! However I’m using some Govee h6125 16.4ft lights and am trying to figure out how I’d make the animations synced up on each side. Would I have to use two 16.4 ft strips with two separate controllers and power sources hooked up cut to length or is there anyway to do this with 1 16.4ft strip from Govee? Looks like I might have to step up my game and get into wLed. I only need about 11 ft of leds in total, two 5 foot 5 sections.

Thanks so much for watching and thats awesome you tried it yourself! So if I were using Govee, and I wanted things to sync up, I would probably get one of their 32 foot lights (usually the 32 foot ones comes with two 16 foot rolls that do the exact same thing) In my experience with those strips, you can cut them and they will still work (you would lose a little bit of some animation features because the app would still think the entire strip is there and run the animation as if its going the entire 16 feet instead of the 5 feet you need. Now I have not tested this out but there is also a chance you could cut one 16 foot section down but then you would need to cut the cable after the controller, strip back the wires, split them so that the voltage, power, data can now be run to 2 strips and I think that would probably work as well. But in the end, for sure a great opportunity to explore the more DIY options with WLED. Once you figure it out, you just have so many more options as far as leds lights you can use, power option, length options, animations etc.

Chris, thank you so much for the extensive reply back! I’ve ordered a few esp 8266 boards and flashed them with wled. Planned on running the set up you were running in the video but now I’m Intrigued to to run the Govee set up just to keep everything under one management software for that specific room. I’ll have to find another project to use the esp 8266 boards and the ws2812b lights.

hi community! im an 12 year old from germany. is there any alternatives of the spottles diffuser because in german amazon 10 2 meter diffuser cost around 500 till 600 bucks.

to secure the peg board quicker and easier, what about 3m strips? you put screws anyway so it would still be secure?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching! That's a really good idea. I think that would work just fine. Thanks for the great suggestion!
