Wiring the short strips in parallel reduces the voltage drop that occurs when powering a long continuous strip. This will increase the light output, but also draws much more power from the battery. Since I only use this light for video and pictures, it's not on constantly, so battery drain and heat won't be a problem.

Great Idea using the aluminum flashing for the back panel. Gives a bit of heat sink and lighter weight than the original
Good Morning! I see your videos only in the visual or the audio does not understand, because I can not understand English completely. But with your practice I learn. I'm Brazilian and I'm 64 years old. I like carpentry and do small jobs. My real profession is an Electronics Technician, already retired. I admire your dedication. I translated my text with Google.
You can't belive how much happy I am to see that you rebuild it better 😂😂😂
Great job building this project, as well as filming it! Simple, natural, pleasure to watch.
Good seeing you re-assemble these strips in parallel as I discussed in the first video, John. Those flexible copper traces have a surprisingly high resistance which gets pretty inefficient over longer series lengths. I've made two panels out of these LED reels, however I used a reel of 5630s rather than these dimmer 5050 SMD LEDs. Those develop several times the light by chip density, meaning you can pack them right in there. My lighting arrangement consists of a three-point setup with key/fill/hair, each being approximately 12'000lm (), 3'200lm and 800lm respectively. It genuinely makes an enormous difference. The downside is power requirements as the key needs about 12A/12VDC to operate at full brightness. Pretty strong stuff. For the same size of panel you have there, you'd be able to increase density a little and get 5-6x the light output to really kick out the shadows. Maybe use that one as your fill in addition?
I have some leftover strips from replacing my fluorescent lights. I think I'll make some supplemental lights after your design! Nice job!
Gonna use this and customize it for my streaming setup. Great video and instructions!
John, another informative video. Thanks for all that you do for educating us. LEDs are coming along so quickly it's limitless on what they can do. Have a great day.
Nice one John i am going to build a few of these for my niece in her studio.
I like the TEASER - end or hall table in the shot. Look forward to that video.
The first three videos on building that are already on Patreon. I'll be releasing ones on this channel that are trimmed down, showing a lot less detail.
More John Heisz wisdom for just $1.00 per month? . . . BARGAIN! sorry I didn't support sooner.
So do you get access to the previously released videos on Patreon if you subscribe?
Great job. Very useful. Thanks! :)
Nice work John, you've inspired me a bit, I could certainly use a pair of small lights in my shop for UA-cam videos. I think I might give this a try.
Great project I need for my shop as well! Thank you for sharing John!
Pretty sure I'm going to build one! Thanks John!
Now, you’ll want to make another one of those and have it mounted on the ceiling, pointed downward and slightly behind you. This will give a bit of a rim light around you, some separation from the background and ultimately a bit of depth.
This is my PSA Tip for a professional photographer. Wanna see what I’m talking about, watch any of the national news programs and you’ll see just a sliver of light on the top of the reporters heads and shoulders.
This is a phenomenal DIY project that can elevate any youtubers vids
Looks awesome John!
Cool design, John. I dig it. :)
Great build John, very useful and compact :)
Cheers
Mike
I like this idea !Thank you for sharing !
Wow, that is bright.

John, have you tried 12V 10W LED's? I've bought them on eBay, and have used them for several projects already.
They take up way less space.
But you'll need a big heat sink too...
Yonatan24 like a large piece of aluminum flashing?
Just Googled to know what that is.
I don't think so. You need a serious heat sink for dissipating the heat from several 10W LED's.
Or you could buy an ATV light bar and put it on an arm to precisely light up a work piece or an area. They're stupid bright and easy to mount on anything.
I noticed you scooted them over after you tapped them down so the wires were on the flashing. lol when you first started tapping them I saw that and was wondering how that was gonna work. great work
You are a smart man.
Nice improvements! I'm always struggling to get the lighting right especially when recording.
great video love your presentation.
Thanks :)

I'm digging it John.
You should look in to a bulkhead version of that barrel jack, their available on Amazon or eBay for cheap and make for a very sharp looking end result
Or I can just use what I already have. That's kind of the point of all this - to make do with what you have on hand.
Is it important that the backplate is made from aluminium? Does it have an impact on how the light is being reflected or will a woodpanel work just fine?
Dude. You're awesome.
great trick for using the glue and the bag. i can see where that would be useful in a varity of situations
Thanks for this. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I am not in any way 'handy', so will not be doing this kind of thing myself.
I was wondering what camera and lights you used to film the video, as I really enjoyed the production values that you created with them - sharp resolution from the camera, and good, bright lighting.
All the best.
Thanks so much....
no heat problems with all those leds so close one to each other, and not properly sticked on the back, so it acts as a heat sink?
Surprised you did destroy the strips when ripping them up. Guess they were better built than I thought.
Thanks for the video John. This is exactly what I am looking for to mount to the ceiling in my shop. Could you provide a link for where you bought your LEDs? As I search online there are several factors to consider when buying LEDs and it would be great to know exactly which bulbs worked for you. Thanks!
I don't have a link, but the most important thing to look for is color temp - it needs to match your shop lighting (for video, that is).
Love the videos John! Also the shirts! How or can you buy them?
what diffuser are you using? great project
wow!
You said, "It's a lot brighter." Is that simply from placing the lights closer together? I'm wondering how a smaller light can be brighter when the same number of LEDs were used in both fixtures. Thanks!
Are the LED strips theses strips that can be bought from the Chinese online stores or from automotive stores?
man that was a great video! Thx
Can you tell me the gauge of wire you're using? We've tried a few and none of them have worked yet. Thanks for the great video!
Think it was 22 gauge
Hot glue, what can it not do! Aha great video.
Hold an exhaust together lol.
Aha, challenge accepted! lol
ITS *_HOT MELT GLUE_* lol
Hold anything hot together.
Why not use for glue on the led strip as well?
What is that translucent film? In my country its like aryclic. But what is it exactly you used?
Hey John, where did you acquire your Diffuser Material for the light?
Does anyone know where I can find that exact diffuser?
What's with the dusty hard drive on the drill press table? Curious ...
Never ask a man what's on his hard drive. Don't you know the bro code? What's wrong with you?!
I never did ask what was IN it. Just asked what was with the drive on the drill press.
+Mac/au My bad. I didn't read your comment properly. Btw I was just making a joke. Looks like I failed. :-(
Oh no, I understood the joke. Just depends if its encrypted or not :P
On Amazon, they offer a stronger hot melt glue. It costs a bit more than the clear or white glue sticks but the strength is considerably stronger.
I use it to repair the sole heels on my walking shoes and the stronger glue stick is really tough and lasts a long time.
Try it, you'll like it and you may not need the pin nailer.
Good job. Want see more
. . . WOW !
Why not cut into two panels then have two angles and if need be can take a smaller or just one panel with you if needed
5:38 ah.. your drill press has sata storage.. nice
drill presets, etc.
Seen this first done by that DIYPerks guy, have you seen the other way with discarded LCD Panels he has done?
I don't even know who that is.
lol
ver beautiful
I don't know what you have invested in that time or money wise but you can buy 2' X 2' LED and 1' X 4' LED lamps for drop ceiling at your local electrical supply house for about $60.
I notice your workshop has the same issue mine does. Clutter just seems to happen. :)
Do they run off a 12 volt battery?
They run on a 12-volt power supply that comes with the lamp. So, I would say yes you could easily hook them up to run off of a battery. I really like your work and think your lamp is fantastic. I just know there are many folks that do not have the fabrication skills or the tool collection you possess.
I do watch a lot of your vids.
Actually, this channel is all about the fabrication. Even if they can run from a battery, the lights you described are too big.
Yes, they are large. I am actually planning to utilize 2 of the 1' X 4' units in a green screen setup. I, of course, will have to fab up brackets and floor stands for them.
I am all about DIY.
Nice cheap light John doing something similar myself👍
That's a beast of a glue gun!
what kind of material is the diffuser? where i can get it?
Maybe put some "hot water pipe polyethylene insulation" on the edges so when you bonk your head into it- it won't hurt so much.
buy large screen tv, play a white jpg from its usb, say goodbye to lost of money, but...it works!
Looks like a really nice light but its a shame that you didn't opt to glue the stripes to the metal plate using thermal glue, not only will it a little safer, your LEDs will last way longer.
You should add a remote control
tell us how that works 4 you
Same LED's. How can it be a lot brighter? 7:25
Wiring - read description.
Hey, good video. I also like the idea of the diffusers you built, im gonna have to build my own ones. Check out my 1920W led panel I built if you want to, its extremley bright!
Anyone try to realize how it got brighter ?? Haha good job on the project
Same light output, but less absorption occurring from within the box due to compacted design.
