Thanks for watching everybody! These are the photography grade LED strips: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575347517&toolid=10001&campid=5338215129&customid=&icep_item=182965299789&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg The rest of the parts are in the description.

Great video and project. But here's a thing: The shot with “bad” LED's has more detail and contrast. The other shot has more colour blending, so things ikke the wrinkels in your forehead disappears. Can you get the level of contrast and detail from the bad LEDs with the good LEDs?
@StuartFeltham
@StuartFeltham 6 жыл бұрын
rasmis to my eye the detail is there in both shots. The difference in wrinkles is more to do with the expression on his face. He doesn't have his eyebrows raised as much, so he doesn't have the same level of wrinkling. Also looking at the shadows suggest that the light wasn't in the same position, so there's a possibility of that effecting the visibility of wrinkles. In terms of contrast I can't see a marked difference either, at least nothing that I wouldn't put down to camera settings/exposure values.

I have modified my version. All dimming controls are external using a 5050 DMX controller and added RGB Amber and UV giving me full control over the entire colour spectrum. 8 channels each. (Controlled on the negative not positive.) and made 16 of them for mounting on 2metre F34 quad truss totems with moving head spots. Gives the stage a pop of colour effect and some other uses too. 128 channels of computer controlled lighting. Used a bit thicker Al sheet

A proper power switch would be very high on my list of modifications to add. Doesn't even need to be on all of them. Might also consider a master/slave model design, where the master has 3 power ports and a switch, while the slaves have 2 power ports for daisy chaining. The other update that I would consider: Digital control on brightness levels, so that adjustments to one can be auto synced to the other units in the chain, unless an override switch is on.

There all ways someone saying "don't solder the end of the wires when connecting to a terminal" I been soldering wires end and putting them in terminals for years and it's just fine for home use just make sure you torque it down right so it is pre smushed. Now the Europeans are very picky about this though and there's no sense going for their heads when it comes to cost and budget. I can't just show up and spend a dollar each time I want to make a connection like that. I love the guys but sometimes they are overprotective.

For hobbiest grade stuff that isn't critical or high power soldering a wire and then crimping or screwing in a terminal is just fine (I've done it myself many a time). But for anything where reliability and safety come before cost or ease of manufacture then it is a no go as it can cause loose wires over time (imagine medical/aerospace/military equipment scenarios where even a 1 in 1000 catastrophic failure is unacceptable).

Problem with adding touch capabilities to a mirror is that you would get smudges all over it. I've seen some people using cameras and hand gestures for these kinds of mirrors which might work better, or even some simple voice commands. Another possibility would be to use an IR based solution where light is shone from the top and picked up at the bottom, this would mean that you don't actually have to touch the mirror to get a response.

Well that helps. I tend to order one of these DIY power supplies from china, so I can eventually daisy chain the modules.

Hey Matt! If it's not too much trouble, can you drop the file for your CnC so that we can use to either route our side panels OR print them? I think this could be easily 3D printed, yeah? Great video, thank you!

When will the circuit diagram be added? and How thick is the LD PVC plastic?
@nepicness

I believe the PVC plastic is supposed to be 6mm or .236 inches or whatever inches is.

If you take the .svg file he gives in the description, scale the width and height of the half circle endcaps to a width of 14cm, and then take the difference between the arches and the endcaps you get a thickness of 12.5mm or about 1/2"

Hey Matt! Love your videos. You never added the diagram for the Circuit dimmers. Also would you be able to add in some files or measurements you used for your holes on the Aluminium. And I know you provided the SVG for the Arches, but would there be a way you could provide the measurements and possible SVG for the PVC brackets used to hold the diffuser. Thank you Again!

The hardest Item to get out of the whole project would be the acetate. I've been looking online at my local hardware shops and on eBay and I can't find it anywhere. Do you have a link to somewhere you got them from online or did you go to a hardware store to get yours?

What thickness did you guys try to use? I couldn't find medium so I got .003" and it looks to be too thin, could use two layers though.

I would recommend using aluminium rivnuts instead of steel ones if anyone is replicating this, easier to insert and no chance of them reacting with the aluminium and corroding.

Noo don't put hot glue on the LED strips! They heat up pretty good, melt the glue and eventually burn it. I personally recommend 5-min epoxy, possibly high temperature one. Great vid btw ;)

As usual great video and awesome build, but I'm not gonna lie, your first lighting setup was so much better than the second one. I think having a bit of contrast in your lighting is more interesting than the flat look you called an improvement. Anyway, love your videos man, keep being awesome!
