    I have the LED strip lights on my shelves for my lego. I suggest I’d that route have them on the bottom of the shelf pointing down. It will light them up way better. I wish I could share a photo.

  • @brandonjones5096
    @brandonjones5096 Рік тому +3

    I think the more light is the better option. Puting in the shelves it creates a big shadow under each one, and that shadow right above the city makes for a bad visual so eliminating that shadow would help out a lot.

    Cool the lights are being added!
    I commented a few videos back about your station and train layout. I really think you main city line should run in front of the theme park so the double station can service both lines.
    The theme park can move back into the space vacated so should lose any room and makes the parallel tracks in the station easier. Thoughts?

      Ps I love the effect of the strip lights but agree it does cast enough light over the items below the shelves 🤔

    Watching Bricksie get things from the pick a brick wall is so satisfying! And the brick stacking technique was such a smart way to get more for your money! I love coming home everyday and always watching the new Bricksie video! Keep up the amazing work!

    regarding to the lights I think that the better options are the ones with wires, either the led or the others, because it would be annoying to charge the batteries all the time however with wires you only have to install them once. If you are going to finally use led I'd use home automation ones so you can control them all with your smartphone very easily, I have them like that and are quite good. I hope I've been useful

      I agree on using a smart home controler. It gives many more optins. See my answer above on RGBWW and other options to reduce price and increase performance.

    One thing I’ve learned about strip lights: they always sound like a better idea than they turn out to be. Your installation would be pretty easy, but it seems like they inevitably start to peel off or begin to break. Strip lights usually have cutable 3-light segments, and I’ve had some of these segments go out on me. Then you’re stuck with a blank spot in your lighting or with a discolored spot. This problem might not exist with higher end strip lights, but I’ve found it to exist with many different ‘cheap’ Amazon brands.
    Lately, I’ve been much more of a fan of stand-alone lights that don’t require any wiring. Stand-alone lights are just so much easier to work with and move or replace if need be. And having them be plug-in rather than battery ensures that they’ll just always work without the hassle of having to charge them or having their batteries degrade over time.

    yep, definitely need brighter under cabinet lights to light the edges of the city where the shelves create shadows, they do create a nice accent highlight to the shelves

  • @KanuUnchou

    I have a couple of magnetic rechargeable lights in my displays. They provide significantly more light than LED strips, but have limited reach if you don't have sufficient vertical space. They look amazing in my larger shelves, but would need 2 per shelf to properly illuminate the low-profile ones. The magnetic strips are convenient, but you'd still need to do some diy work if you wanted to mount them at an angle. Battery life is not the greatest; spec sheet says it's between 3 and 24 hours depending on brightness settings, with a 2-3 hour recharge time. It's good enough if you only use them occasionally, but not really viable as an always-on option. They can be controlled with the same remote, but they are rather finnicky when it comes to angles - I often end up "missing" one or two, even though they are all within 1m of each other. If wired is an option, I'd 100% recommend it over wireless.

    The strips can be extended, just get the connector and add it to the link, use black primer sprayed over with your room colour to hide the lit ones between the shelves. Multiple sets cant be used with one remote. If you can pair them in the app they can be changed.
    Consider adding lights to the city itself, running power cables through the mills to the street lighting etc, inners and amusement parks etc

    Hi Bricksie, looking sweet as always! Love the new lights, really brings that needed “pop” of color over the back areas.while you’re working on the beach/ lighthouse area could be a perfect time to add a fishing deck area over a bit of the rocks extending off the side of the fish shack, possibly a couple of mini figs with poles over the railing?? Whatever you decide I know it’ll look amazing. Good for you taking some family time, that will always be job 1!

    I've been struggling with the same lighting conundrum, as well. I have an etagere-style shelf that I want to light up, and I can't decide between round puck lights and daisy-chainable lights (like the AIBOO ones you found).
    The main advantage of the puck lights is that they're easy to install. All you need is some good double-sided tape and you're golden. But the major disadvantage is the battery life. If they're intended to be left on for hours, then you're going to be recharging them (or replacing their batteries if they're not rechargeable) quite often, and if you got a bunch, then that's a lot of time spent just on recharging.
    The main advantage of the daisy-chainable lights is that they're constantly powered via an outlet. However, these have a couple disadvantages. The first one, like you mentioned, is managing the wires is a bit cumbersome, but they could be organized with white cable channels and white electrical tape for the exposed bits that go over the shelf brackets. (Or maybe the wiring could be taped to the backside of the shelf and the exposed wires under the shelf wrapped with white electrical tape.) The second disadvantage (and I think this one is a bigger problem than the first) is the limitations of daisy-chaining. Depending on the number of lights being chained, there is the possibility that the lights towards the end of the chain won't look as bright, because the transfer of power lessens as it goes further down the chain.

    I have 3 seperate lighting styles for my lego one LED strip (modified to reach another shelf, a different LED bars which works well in my Billy bookcase, and my absolute favourite light kits designed for lego sets I go for light my bricks but other options are availiable this would only really work if you have no intention on dismantling sets. I would personally attach the LED strips to the undeside of the shelves so its brighter instead of diffusing it.

  • @brandongaby6825
    @brandongaby6825 Рік тому

    Lighting in the cabinets is a great idea maybe wait to that when you move to the new location and set up as you move in would be the best way for the wiring

    @Bricksie, just wanted to ask, in one of your vids I noticed inside your tub of doom there was a Acidicus. If you didn't really need it, it would be so helpful if you could send it over as I have nearly completed my Venomari tribe. If not then that's ok. Also great vid! Lighting looks great!

  • @wasiimd

    Maybe you can try a mostly-single row of light or dark blue plate under the blue tile to show the rocks extending beneath the water. I have done this on a couple of MOCs and its looks pretty nice. Would also work well as you have the lighthouse right there, which would be warning boats away from the rocks hidden beneath then surface.
    The rest of the water is looking sweet so far with the 4 shades of blue!

    I use Christmas lights to light my Lego since I already have them; whereas, $70 for a good-quality light kit is unfriendly toward my Lego budget. They look suprisingly cool despite the stud-thick green cord and the multi-colored lights. I stuff the bulbs in the windows and doors of buildings, though the minifigures in my Lego city think I'm crazy. Well, I'll show them!

  • @phreekd170
    @phreekd170 Рік тому

    As a professional lighting designer I think you would be happier with the wired under the cabinet lights because they are are more of a direct light where the colored strip lights are more of an accent light. The battery powered option is nice but over time the battery degrades from recharging and they with loose longevity of the charge held and in most cases you can't just replace the battery you have to replace the whole light.

    Yeah, the staircase pieces are kind of awkward to put in a PAB cup and it can't fit many in there. I did get a couple of those pieces last time I was at the Lego store, was able to nest them together but still then had to use a lot of other smaller pieces around them to fill in the rest of the cup.

  • @efenili
    @efenili Рік тому

    The same remote will work but it ends up being more annoying than you might think. If only some turn on when you press power, then pressing power again pointed at other ones could turn off the already on ones or if you ever want to only have one set of lights on or a certain color not letting others turns on becomes almost impossible.
    I have a lot of these cheap lights and the remotes even work for other lights that aren't even the same type which is even more annoying. So while they are generally fine I won't be spending my money on them again.
    I highly recommend "smart" ones that can be controlled by your phone instead. I only get Kasa brand ones these days and their LED strips are great. Not only are they way better quality but they are easier to control. AND instead of bad presets you can actually change the warmth of the lights to match the rest of your room. Yes, WAY more expensive also....Good luck :)

    This Cheap Amazon LEDs are OK, nice color effect, but that is it. If you want some proper quality brand LED strip lights, you will have to pay way more even 5+ times the price of this ones. More expensive LED strips are also much stronger, have more color accuracy and will give you the effect that you want. Light will bleed up and down way more, than this cheap LED strips from Amazon. Under Cabinet option is also good option. I use both for my LEGO room, with better quality LED strip lights under the shelf, like you have. But my LED strip can illuminate set below with no problem, really bright, but you have to buy really good LED strips.

    If you're going use/buy the LED strips, I would recommend you the brand "Govee", quality per dollar in my opinion they're the best by far, the strips come in different sizes and all their products can be controlled by remote or the app on your phone one by one, or you can control all the products you bought simultaneously, also "Phillips" has a greater quality in their products and similar functions like "Govee" but they're more expensive.
