Turning My ENTIRE Ceiling Into a Light Fixture

[@Coltography]

Was hoping he'd read this comment? And he has! Which is great cause that was exactly what I was thinking as I watched this. Btw internet people's those of you who are disturbed by the fact that home techies like us would want to remove a controller? There's a simple explanation in this thinking process. We aren't getting rid of controller. We are freeing up a whole controller to be available for a project where it can actually be utilised to a better capacity. I'm forever looking at things and thinking why didn't they use relays and jumpers to make "physical" logic gates? 🤔 Nearly every combination of computer mathematical logic can be configured into an electrical circuit utilising a few cheap components? I.e basic logic like AND, OR, NOT etc. Most people wouldn't need much more than those logics with most of the projects that want to take on at home?

Great project! So.. regarding the RGB. You can add green to the footers around the whole perimeter. And blue to the "header", near the ceiling. That gives you a nice relaxing garden to work on. xD For added effect, at the end of the day/morning you can have a strip of orange/red light up in the header (sunset). The ceiling light could also change temperature as a function of time in the same way too.

[@apexiwildchild]

This is by far is the coolest thing and the best video i’ve ever watched this entire quarantine period

[@aonomus]

The discrepancy in theoretical vs actual wattage could be due to voltage drop down the length of the LED strip. If you're feeding 12V down a copper trace that is effectively the cross section of a 18-22AWG wire, you could lose a lot of voltage (and therefore current draw) by the end of the strip. What's the voltage at the end of the strip? You could try feeding power from both ends of the strips, thereby improving consistency from end to end?

[@Coltography]

Very good point!! I am going to try this and see how it affects the results. Thank you for the excellent suggestion.

[@9Llamaboy]

doubt the spec for the leds is meant for two way power. It’ll probably either have a diode (or burnout) if it is one directional. If it’s not strictly one directional it’ll likely just heat up the strip until failure or at a minimum the power supplies will fight each other. You could cut the trace in the middle effectively doing the same thing by powering 1/2 of each strip. Though if these are wired in parallel 10-15ft strips shouldn’t be awful. The strips do look like they’re wired up a little whacky too though.

[@fdavpach]

@@9Llamaboy In order to work at 12V the strip it's internally wired in parallel blocks, there's not such thing as "bidirectional power" or "fighting power supplies" you have a lot of homework to do

[@wiedapp]

@@9Llamaboy In these strips you normaly have a positive and a negative line going from one end to the other, like in a power cord. The LEDs (or groups of them) are put in parallel between these two lines. If you draw that on a piece of paper, you will see that you can feed the strips from both ends. For reference: Look up the KZbin channel "Intermit.Tech". He showed what happens, when you feed power to a length of LED strip in different ways. Spoiler: Buy sun glasses.

[@83hjf]

@@Coltography als you can tune the votlage of the PSUs with the little orange trimmer. measure at LED strips, and tweak until you have 12V there. you may have liek 14V at the output of the PSU and still only 12 at the strips.

Actually safer going overkill with power supplies sometimes because overdraw caused overheating. Most arduino boards have 12v regulators on the vin to an extent also but good call on the regulators.

[@Nerdforge]

Such a great video, and I wanna do this now! Might be a bit late to the party for suggestions here, but for addressable leds, maybe you could lay it on the ceiling, parallel to your white strips. In code you'd create abstractions for each fixture square (based on how many LEDs fit inside each one) . That way you could have a nanoleaf vibe going on in the ceiling! Might need some spacers between each fixture to prevent light bleed to get a clean result, though. Quite a bit of work, but it would be quite insane:)

[@dimagass7801]

Obviously addressable leds would be cool but that makes it much more complicated, first of all it is going to be way more expensive, and most are 5volts unless you get the ws2811 that aren't individually addressable but control 3 at a time, so it's definitely possible just going to be more expensive and a little more work

AMD1 Brick Veneer which is an 80’s style is already back in new homes, I was at the home reno and builder show The 80’s style is coming back according to the various booths they had! Dark oak 70’s/80’s wall paneling is back now as well! I noticed antique brass and chocolate to blackish brown fixtures are back too! 4 Wicker blade spinner bell canopy variable speed ceiling fans are popping up in lighting stores again! I know all this stuff because I come from a long line of home builders!

For real, look up glass/prism sidewalks, popular in the 1850s-19 somethings, everyone forgot about them till recently. Concrete sidewalks with little glass prisms inside to let light from the floor above in, or the light from inside up through the sidewalk. They should bring this back for sure.

Unbox Therapy: huh, this looks neat

9:37 street view of the apartment looks like you have a mini sun inside your apartment or alien abduction in progress ;)

"Half decent?!" U did a better job than some of the "professional" ones we have here! Great job man! 👍👍👍

[@over00lordunknown12]

This looks kind of like the diy perks artificial skylight, but this is cooler.

[@douglasheld]

4:51 What is it you mean by, "12V from the lights"? Is your house wired with a 12V DC circuit for LED lighting?

[@DavidRider]

Most LIT 10 min video I've ever seen

[@FORZOREZORLIVE]

This looks actually amazing, I will do it as soon as I move in to my new apartment. By the way, do you think it would be easy to remove without leaving any traces?

[@Coltography]

Yes, it's pretty easy since there's only about 25ish holes to fill and paint over, some people may think of that as a huge chore though

[@1CrazyDJ4U]

You need to sell this kit online. I'll be the first to buy it. This is magical. Fantastic job. I love you.

[@kcpwnsgman]

too much liability I'd think

[@Mamo5317]

Everything is ok but what about the tiles that you have used ? I am talking about the white colour reflector (tiles) what are they called 1:43 ????

[@Coltography]

theyre just generic office lighting panel diffusers

[@raymondj8768]

hey bro if you ever want to bore a hole in plastic or those switch covers use a pointed stone in the drill and it goes rite threw !!!!!!!!

[@hambone1902]

7:43 Me trying to understand the wiring

[@YAHYEL-ANUNNAKI]

LOL

[@Chinhnguyen0497]

he said it in the description. But I don't see anything

[@rly4488]

How to determine the number of LED strips needed to cover the cavity in the ceiling, and what is the distance to be left between the rows of strips

[@asaturn]

This is awesome. Reminds me of the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey

[@surronzak8154]

3:32 the drill bit must spin at the fastest speed you can achieve and do not put to much pressure, this whay it want break

[@cattiger76]

Also he used the very cheap blank plate.those ones break very easy if he get the non breakable ,is easy to make holes on it

[@vi683a]

Use a bit for brittle plastic (like acrylic). Metal drill bit cutting geometry is to aggressive for brittle materials.

[@cattiger76]

@@vi683a yeah that's true

[@robertcartier5088]

"Oh, look Margaret... The neighbours are being probed by aliens, again!"

[@lordroiss]

Hello sir may i know that kind of transparent tiles you install? im so amaze to your work i want it to do in my projects thanks

[@ChrisKeddy]

The reason you calculations are off is because the 0.2W is for max usage which would require a heat sink to cool them. So most manufactures don't end up actually running them at full power.

[@OrloxPhoenix]

**Hears Summoning Salt's intro music** **gets happy** :D

[@SoaringMoon]

I hunted for this comment.

He's going for the world record in ceiling lights.

[@yorganyog]

This is sick man!!!! Looks like the ceiling from dark knight, he had after the mansion burnt. And about making in the floor?

[@AlansInventions]

Great build. With the ESP you already have in your build you can easily connect it to IFTTT and automate all the sections.

[@samanthapowell5882]

Do the walls also !

[@OMGWTFBBQSHEEP]

And the floor😂

[@CeziHD]

if the room was empy this would look bad ass clean. You could make a music video in there by then.

[@PhiTonics]

lol rediculious... do it!

[@georgel3657]

Wow this is amazing! I'm definitely going to create one of these myself. And by that, I mean I'm going to think about it for 5 minutes then forget about it.

[@Coltography]

Me everytime I watch cooking channels

[@radnukespeoplesminds]

this is so cool I can't stop thinking about it.

[@W0Ndr3y]

For a light I'd use strip that can go from cold to warm white and is dimmable. That way you can control the amount of light and the feel it gives. Also mounting the strips directly on the ceiling is not providing much cooling. Having some metal rails for those is recommended. Looks amazing tho. Very professional
