LED Wall Lights

I was looking for a customizable LED lighting system for the wall above my screens. The intent was to do something that looked like a PCB. Having the light be reflected off the wall for a softer feel.

The next piece was to have it customizable to match the surrounding lighting, enter in wLED or similar to provide that flexibility.

Parts List:

• 1/2 in aluminum channel -

  LED Strips - https://a.co/d/8cz5XFr

  3-Pin connectors - https://a.co/d/4peDP0C For those who just want to hook it up and go:

  • LED Controller - https://a.co/d/4peDP0C
  • Controller PSU - https://a.co/d/6owt3TL

  Otherwise, wLED using a Wemos/DigiUno with appropriate PSU for strip length, etc. (if you are going this route you already know what I'm talking about :D )

  Extras:

  • Some way to anchor the stand-offs:

  Drywall anchors - https://a.co/d/6owt3TL

  Command strips

  • Additional LED wire - https://a.co/d/6tZivUV
  • Paint for the aluminum channel

  Build:

  Plan out your space.

  There are several stand-offs that should accommodate most. Cut and paint your channels. The fit into the stand-offs is friction, you shouldn't need any glue. My stand-offs are printed with PLA and nine months with no issues.

  The stand-off base has two mounting screw holes and a hole for passing the LED cable from jump to jump. The tops are what real make the angles and end points. Again, everything should be friction fit, but your mileage may vary.

  LED strips are cut to length, and connector ends are soldered on. BE MINDFUL of the data direction. Peel and stick LED strips into the appropriate length aluminum channel.

  Stand-off covers can be slid/pressed on.

  For this project I assembled them in sections so having to manhandle the entire length was not needed.

  Hook up your controller and tinker with your new lights!
