I think it's a testament to kane's skill in making these videos that i just sat through someone analyzing an old flourescent light fixture for 9 minutes.
As a guy who installs tile ceilings all the time, you woke my interest. So I started checking things: -The substances which the tiles are made of are 100% accurate -The structure how the ceiling got installed... or spawned, is exactly how they were made in this period of time. -That's true the size of the tile falls out of place with any norm worldwide, I checked ASTM and the DIN EN of ISO norms. -Next thing on the list, I'll ask a friend of mine (electrician with certificate "Bachelor of professional") to check the signs and numbers of the lights.
Typical backrooms. First glance: Hunh. All looks "normal", "typical", "unremarkable". Next few glances: What's the point here? Why are these slightly "off". This is unnaturally similar yet notably different. Later glances: What the actual Eff is going on?! Who made all of this??? Did it make itself?? My head hurts!!
Used to work at a lighting company, it's been 10 years tho. Watching this video and hearing the descriptions of the t12 bulbs and Ballist made me feel like I still worked there. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 100% accurate. It has been 10 years so I don't know forsure
One of my favorite videos in the Backrooms series so far has been Autopsy Report, not for the horror elements, but for its incredible realism. It's not easy to fake knowing a lot about something, and it really seemed like Kane did his research in order to correctly capture the more mundane aspects of an autopsy report. This video takes that to the next level, and I love it
7:46 The lights have been manufactured in 1973, if you go to the video "Overflow", the project that kick started this whole thing was dated on 8/2/72. I find it to be a neat little detail.
Whoa, so that means that if the backrooms was created/discovered in 1972 then the classic yellow rooms part of the complex was built a year after, or at least took inspiration from that time.
@@austinisawesome2066 Perhaps the information of that initial discovery imprinted that point in time until A-sync properly opened the backrooms with a traversable "gateway".
But do they all have the same serial number? If so, then some force is copying the real world. If not, then more lights should be analyzed for duplicates. Also, since they appear to have been running since 1973, this implies that the backrooms is not as timeless as speculated. Though it could have copied aged bulbs from outside of its own spacetime.
I was just saying this. Its not easy to "give a report" and sound like you are actually presenting it to a room full of experts. You have to know what questions they are thinking to give a report, know the audience. This was pretty amazing to listen to, knowing it was just an actor reading a script. And sure, yeah its someone giving dimensions about a ballast or bulb or whatever, but the WAY it was explained was perfect, very professional, dry and direct. Like something a room full of engineers and scientists would be focused on. I could practially taste the coffee someone was probably sipping in that conference room during this.

I love that kane depicts async as human and professional. These guys feel like researchers and not faceless grunts. I pray Async remains a morally grey company instead of trying to make them evil
There planning to apparently make it commercialized basically make a profit out of it like you discover a dimension with an infinite even endless amount of space and there first thought was how could we make it so that people could live here basically trying to achieve a way to house people in here for very very low amounts of rent money etc for those down on there money that’s why there slowly researching the dimension making it more plausible etc closing ways that cause trouble
this is why i recognise this lore more than those idiots who a) turn the story into a horror jumpscareFEST instead of liminal rooms b) invent idiot monsters eg smileys the rooms changing and seem sentient sometimes is whats amazing and intriguing to me, i saw one YT channel where they got a robot to drill in the walls and the walls healed itself, the organisation/rooms itself is whats amazing not monsters or jumpscares
Async is evil. The business, the *corporation.* There is no universe in which this place which represents such an existential threat to humanity should be “profitable.” That doesn’t mean the people that work there are evil though. The researchers genuinely want to understand this place and help people. I think both can and should be true at the same time.
Not comparing any government or agency to Asynch here, but my experience in the US military taught me that one can be totally professional and analytical while participating in morally gray stuff. This video only scratches the surface of what such an investigation would go like. You would have teams of people with inductive “sniffers” tracing the wiring, engineers estimating the power consumption and waste heat, real HVAC people tracing the ductwork, people with thermal cameras imaging everything, someone drilling holes in the “ceiling” *and* floor to run mini scopes through, someone taking samples of the roof beams to figure out where the wood was harvested… All while the company execs and lawyers were writing cover stories to explain why there are no bodies of company employees who never leave the Complex…
It's a testament to Kane's talents when you watch an 8+ minute video about the physical aspects and components of a ceiling tile and light fixture only to be left with both an eerie sense of foreboding and more questions than answers.
Yeah I've not seen enough credit for her. Amazing read, the very slight lack of confidence from the confusion because of how fucking weird it all is comes through so well.
I’m glad to finally see footage of Async actually studying the backrooms and what it’s made out of. Any person in that situation would be wondering why this alternate dimension is made out of seemingly ordinary man-made materials despite being basically infinite. We still don’t know if Async intentionally created the Backrooms or if they just discovered it, but they definitely seem confused as to why it looks the way it does and how the power in there works.
@@zeniththecreator7671 Thank you! I hadn’t heard that so I was just going based off of what I remember from the series. That’s great to finally know for certain.
Hearing "they were built for long-term... possibly indefinite use" was oddly unnerving. These lights could be running indefinitely, possibly outliving everything else around them. Chills.
Also considering who knows how long they’ve been running before they found the backrooms, it’s possible to guess that the lights have been running for a very long time.
The most unnerving part is despite knowing everything about it, down to the chemical composition, they also know nothing about it. In the end they can't identify the reasoning or inner-workings of this "unknown force" tying it all together. SOMETHING, somehow, for some reason, created this place, and meant it to last forever. And nobody can truly fathom what it is. They can only speculate.
@@lambda6145 Well we know the light they removed has likely been running since 1975 since that is the latest dated part it was built with. Or rather when it was copied/mirrored from the real world?
I love how Kane is doing what no other Backrooms content creator is doing, and that's providing almost real-life lore into his videos. Everyone else is too focused doing dumber and dumber levels and unimaginative entities while he's still reigning supreme with the excellent foundation he's laid out for his version of the Backrooms. Please keep doing what you do best!!!
After seeing "found footage" I never wanted to see anyone else's take on it but Kane's. He's proved from the first few frames he created that he is immeasurably talented beyond his years, and has an uncanny eye for the details that make this not only intensely fascinating, but also eerily period correct. As a person in their 40s it blows my mind how good he is at nailing the strange intricacies of old video tech, buildings, culture and just the general vibe of the 80s-90s despite him not being around then. Absolutely phenomenal.
this video is literally the calm before the storm, before they found that decaying body, before marvin got traumatized, before peter got transported into the future, before mark got shot. Seeing everyone happy and excited about this new discovery is kind of depressing knowing whats gonna come next

@@astro837 I've been seeing more horror series adding captions. It's slow, but it is a great aid that helps a lot that I hope becomes more common/the norm for online horror series going forward.
@@nicolaecalin4217 How can we research not understanding dialogue? Sometimes dialogue is muffled and hard to hear, or just too quiet in some videos. If a creator intends for certain parts of the video to be heard/read/otherwise understood what a character is saying, having multiple options to convey that for accessibility isn't a bad thing. I'll give you sometimes a series with puzzles might make a community look for hidden messages, but otherwise if there's dialogue they just want people to understand, why not have the option of captions just in case the dialogue can't be heard very well in the video for some people?
As someone who is not officially an electrician but has done more than my fair share of repairs on ancient fluorescent light fixtures (and weirdly enjoys it), this video was made for me. Funny enough, I actually have a ballast from 1973 sitting around somewhere that I pulled out of a fixture in the back of the warehouse of the hardware store I used to work at. That thing worked for nearly 50 years until we switched to LEDs that didn't play nice with old ballasts. Actually kind of funny to think that the wiring in the interdimensional liminal-space existential hell realm might be more competent than some of the stuff in the building I worked at for 6 years. The Backrooms has nothing on the electrical horror of a what happens when a '40s building (some bits may be even older) gets haphazardly expanded and modified over the decades in an isolated small town where code is often a suggestion and contractors are a lethal combination of rare, in-demand, expensive, and frequently unreliable. Still mad at whoever had the bright idea 30+ years ago to just ... not ground any of the fixtures in the tool section. Somehow no one caught that until I came along despite the multiple instances of melting ballasts and burnt-out bulbs in that area.
I've been through about 6 years of engineering and technical college, and I've worked in the trades for about 8 years. The material science, electrical analysis, and engineering analysis is quite accurate, and the depth and scope of the investigation is very realistic. The fluorescent bulbs and ballast analysis in particular are amazingly thorough and realistic. Galvanized steel for the frame, delaminated plates vibrating, inert argon gas used as a current limiting device... All very real and normal.
Where is the goddamn power source? Lights don't stay on without a direct current passing through them. Also, considering that these are halogen tubelights, I would imagine that the next analysis video should be about measurement of voltage and current and it's nature.
you guys act like even basic research is unheard of. Maybe my standards are higher but this seems basic. The internet exsts... you can loooks all the information relevant to any code, or product, its manufacture and materials. not very hard.... idk maybe just me. its a great video, no doubt. but amny poeple make vidoes like this. its just research and presentation...
@@JosepFernández-y2s Nope, The third test was just an attempt, while first contact is the first time Async gets in touch with the Backrooms by opening something they were not expecting to find, so this takes place around 1 month after First Contact
You find a lighting system inside a structure in another dimension, if your a scientist/engineer one of the first things you do is open it up and see how it works!
This voice actor sounds 100% like a scientist. My field is Chemistry, not Engineering, but I can tell you everyone I've ever talked to sounds exactly like this when presenting data.
kane gave us what we never knew we wanted, but always needed, THE SCIENCE OF THE LIGHTS Edit: so there seems to be an argument in the comments about how Kane ruined the backrooms by adding dates or something. And let me say. The dates either add mystery or serve as clues as to what the backrooms are. No one can “build” the backrooms. What I think happens is it tries to mimic the real world but can’t quite get things right. Like an ai that can’t quite make hands or something. Kane cannot “ruin” the logic since it’s his interpretation of it, and frankly I think it’s incredibly interesting and entertaining.
I have to say as someone who grew up watching UA-cam in its original days leading up to the boom of viral videos. An interesting niche that became normal was strange and eerie videos. This series has done a great job at giving me a sense of nostalgia and I thank you for it. This series reminds me of Marble hornets such a great and well done series for the time. Keep it up I can’t wait to see what else you come up with
Absolutely fascinating stuff. I think the exsistance of the backrooms is way more interesting than "epic scary monster" and this video demonstrates that perfectly. Insane VA, direction and script work. Kane you are on another level.
I saw a few videos by other people that was essentially just people being chased by monsters in the backrooms and it just didn't do it for me like kane's stuff does.
Monsters ruin the backrooms. You can be chased by a monster anywhere. Parking garage. Forest. Your own house. But the point of this place is that it's seemingly impossible and is only threatening and foreboding in that it potentially unravels our entire understanding of reality itself
Thanks to whoever gave this one subtitles. I hate how in a lot of these videos the voices are so muffled and distorted they’re impossible to understand.
“Hey A24, can I release another backrooms video?” “What’s it about?” “A scientific analysis of the lighting in the backrooms.” “…sure, Kane, that’ll be fine.”
Then they look on in confusion as the internet just laps it up and the experts in lighting and roof panels come into the comments singing praises about how well done the analysis was. I think Kane is a Siren.
I love this. You made me transfixed over an analysis of a light fixture. First off, mad props to the VA for capturing the vibe of a scientist. And Kane’s music is a wonderful part of the whole thing. I have to keep telling myself this was done with Blender because it feels real. Even if I try to look for uncanny bits, I don’t find them. Excellent work.
To think , we never knew why some fluorescent bulbs hum And much as I hate them, learn to appreciate their science - it wasn’t a simple matter to create them.
@@tablescissors 1, the bulbs themselves don't hum, the ballast itself is the culprit of the humming. 2, i don't hate them, i collect them. LED's are boring TBH.
I LOVE this! This is EXACTLY what they would do in this situation and it’s I never thought about. Like what are the ceiling tiles made up of? What’s above them. Of course they would investigate that, it’s obvious and yet I never thought about it before
@@purplemist9607 There are versions that say that if you try to break walls/floors/ceilings and such environment elements you will go to a special room/place in the Backrooms where "cheaters" go and you will receive a punishment worse than death, there are also versions that say that you will go into other levels(be them special levels or not), there are also versions which say that the internal structure is something kinda like what Kane represented in this video, other versions say you will fall into the Blue Void(basically the infinite void that lies in the space between levels, a blue void where you will probably fall eternally without dying ever or just fall to your death, depending on the version). But yeah, there are a huge ton of different versions about what lies behind the floor/walls/ceiling of the Backrooms
As a building engineer for a commercial property management company, i routinely install/replace all of the equipment shown in this video. The terminology and parts for all fixtures were satisfyingly accurate lol... I know these things aren't super complicated but Kane definitely did his research to ensure everything came across legit. The only thing that seemed weird was seeing wooden beams for the flooring above the drop ceiling. Every commercial building I've worked in had concrete or steel beams. Either way, nice work, yet again! Cheers 🍻
Those wooden ceiling beams being out of place are probably by design, honestly. The Complex is already a strange, seemingly infinite plane with random bits of human architecture thrown together haphazardly. One would expect to find steel or concrete beyond the drop ceiling, too, but this certainly isn't a standard commercial building.
I can say as someone with no expertise whatsoever in this that the wooden beams stood out to me, too as something that just didn't belong - and I've no doubt that it absolutely was done deliberately: this series runs on thing that are close but just slightly off model!, like the Backrooms is the invention of something that knows the details of how certain things work in excruciating detail, but completely lacks the knowledge of how it all fits together and why for human use. It's a nice touch, and Kane Pixels never really overdoes it - it's usually just the occasional, out-of-the-way details that usually seem to be "off", until a character walks by a chair that's completely abnormal in dimensions, or a door-frame that's a weird dimension, or whatever. It wouldn't be until "Found Footage 3" - the video before this one - that Kane really cuts loose with some of the odd dimensions and out-of-place details: most of the space that character walked through was pretty blatantly alien!
@@pietrayday9915 The wooden framing above the drop ceiling makes it feel weirdly residential with the building style, but just plopped on top of an office building as the second floor. It feels wrong
I'm laying down my thoughts here, and you may see this comment on a few other videos of Kane's, but i just want to get a conversation going with some people in this community. From my understanding, the backrooms are outside of time, and so people have clipped in since the very start of humanity. When the first humans, animals, primordial goo, maybe even alien life forms, whatever clipped in, they evolved over millions of years to be the "bacteria" present there. Also, with Kane's open ended way of telling this story, there are so, SO many ways it could go. There could be entire alien civilizations that have utilized the backrooms for a millenia, if I'm not mistaken in picking up what Kane's putting down. This series, and even more so The Oldest View, are the most personally influential pieces of media I have ever consumed. Words will never be able to describe the way I feel about these works, especially with the absolute stupid amount of effort that goes into them, from the extensive research and knowledge of niche subjects to further enhance the realism and atmosphere, to the beautiful, sometimes gut wrenching music, which in itself is turned into another medium for Kane to weave a story into with the title, thumbnail, and of course the use of leitmotifs and sound design, just like this video. I know it sounds like I'm glazing the crap out of Kane, and that's because I am. And I'm very proud of it. This kind of storytelling and trust in an intellectual audience is what needs to be topping the charts and being talked about, not whatever the hell they're doing over there at Hollywood. I'm not saying that action flicks or modern generic films are inherently bad; I actually like a lot of them; but what Kane has created here, for one, I don't think anyone has done before, in this way, and two, actually has so much intricacy, atmosphere, and room for interpretation that you could talk about it for generations. That last part I may actually be exaggerating a bit, but it holds some truth. A massive part in interpreting a story is actually the viewer's personal experience: background, ethnicity, culture, education. It's no wonder I wrote about Kane in my final paper for my college English class, he's creating something deeply layered and complex, with exceptional skill and subtlety, presented in a way that puts most cinema today to shame. I can't help but ask... *Could there ever be anything greater than this?*
As an electrician ever since the first episode aired I was like: Look at the light fixtures! They may guide you to a way out. And here it is! The episode I’ve been waiting for! Never expected this but you’ve done a very, very great job in detailing the specific stuff that goes into these (now datet) fixtures! Though one small point remains, did the power to the supplying part die out after cutting and you can still measure continuity and resistance on the supplying parts to see how far the cables lead and where they might connect to other fixtures in the area. But that may be to specific to grasp for the backrooms genre. Nice job again for so much correct detail on this!
I was looking for this comment. I studied electrical engineering for a semester and ever since introduced to the concept of the backrooms I've always wondered what the deal with the lights are, if they run on any existing electrical standards, and if the wiring of the backrooms itself at all resembles what one would see in a building IRL. After watching this video, I just have more questions than answers! Each light has an autonomous power source? Is there a current limit to the circuits? Presumably if they used standard wiring gauges then there'd be a physical limit to how much current you could run through them even if the current potential was "infinite". But then that begs the question, if each light has an autonomous, self contained power source, where is that power coming from and what are the physics implications of such a thing existing? I've rambled on a bit here but this is always something that's terrified me about the backrooms. This is a place where our laws of physics and rules of the universe simply do not exist. We aren't meant to be there. Everyone focuses so much on monsters or "null zones" or other hazards they never stop to think of the wrong-physics-based hazards we would never even know about until it's too late.
@@Markel_A It becomes apparent that the complex begins to mimic and “grow” it’s own objects and places, so perhaps that explains why the creatures can look mechanical if it can grow and mimic light fixtures, etc.
@@Markel_A I think the reason people don't question it is just because they've been trained not to see it due to how the complex handles the whole non euclidean geometry--especially the "bigger on the inside" entrance to the dang thing. Most people probably went "yeah alright infinite lights! Anyway time for monsters." But yeah! The lights being infinite is actually real fuckin' weird and while I know it's probably not something kane'll go much further into, I hope he maybe plans on having a few more of these actual clips of their research into the rooms about the small things. I just think it's neat! I'm also hella excited about this set of comments bc I am studying mechanical engineering rn and have to take an electrical engineering class and have so far understood most of what you guys are saying. Idk I just think that's neat :)
As an Engineer, I gotta say I LOVE and appreciate the detail of this video, you actually did your homework scientifically & historically~ this is why you get the big views, just an unparalleled level of detail and effort that shows your love and care for the medium and content. Congrats to you @Kane Pixels ~
I'm a researcher and hearing an 'expert' examining a portion of Backrooms like this makes me really happy. It's more like a hard science fiction than just a horror fiction. Similar to the autopsy, it's realistic. Like in this video, the fact that the ceiling tile and lamp look and function like the one in our real world, did raise a lot more questions than answers ... and I love it. I hope Kane makes more videos like this.
As a building maintenance engineer who's sole enemy is ceiling tiles (replacing them sucks), i was somehow quite surpised at how accurate all the information and visuals seemed. That shot in the interstitial above the tiles was spot on with what i see everyday at work
never in my life did i expect to admit that the analysis of a ceiling light from the backrooms to be infinitely more interesting than encountering the monsters. not that the monsters are bad (kane pixels has handled them pretty well) but more focus on the backrooms themselves and whatever is going on with them feels refreshing. well done
Yes. The backrooms strongest feature I think is the fact that it's a mystery. We humans both love and fear the unknown, so Kane taking the backrooms into this direction is really neat.
It's interesting that even in the most normal looking part of the backrooms, the weird area outside of the threshold, it's still all kinda fucked up in really subtle ways - the tiles and lights are unnervingly normal at first glance, but also made in very unusual dimensions. The uncanny wrongness of the backrooms spreads to even simple stuff like that.
The fact that it's trying to be normal is alarming. This thing wasn't manufactured by anyone, yet it was this accurate to any lights you would see in some public places.
@@presidentgamingz AI is the only sensible interpretation of the backrooms imo, and it makes sense that the Daisy song which was the one first sung by a synthetic voice plays such a part in the lore.
The fact that these light fixtures have clear markings and identification and construction that can be traced to certain places and times in the real world makes them even more unsettling precisely because you already know that it was never built there and never made by humans, just like the rest of the Backrooms. I especially like how you can tell the employee doing the report is very deeply unnerved just by how she's talking. Like she's articulating how bafflingly normal this all is while knowing that its 100% not normal at all. The one comfort is that at least the Backrooms is 100% UL-certified!
Or it was generated by something that used UL-certified lights as its reference. The standard thing in a nonstandard way feels so much like something using generative AI to create.
I’m glad we finally got something like this. I’ve always wanted more things examined in the back rooms. People walk by boxes and desks etc. and I would love for them to examine them but it never happens
The backrooms are just like ai, if you input something you like, this ai will create it for you in weird ways, same as the backrooms, a person noclipped in the backrooms, the backrooms will generate a familiar structures, things, scenarios, and weird stuff associated to that person who noclipped, in a reason i dont know.
What if it was all built by humans? That is, in endless parallel universes, one specific light fixture went missing in each and every single one of them. Every light fixture you see is the same one but from a different universe.
When I saw the dates on the components: (1973, 1975) I immediately thought back to the video (Backrooms - Overflow) where we see a paper with a signature from Ivan Beck, the manager of A-sync I believe and especially dating from 1972.. Backrooms have a history before 1989
For ages now I've fantasised about ripping out electrical fittings in the Backrooms, and starting a fire! Especially in the Backrooms created by Lost in the Hyperverse, which have a lot of fabric and suchlike. Anything to get the attention of whatever created them! Set it all on fire, then go to a Pool Room to wait it out.
That’s a good thing, because there doesn’t seem to be any provision for a fire, as there are no sprinkler systems that I’m aware of, unless I missed it.
I still can't believe this is done in Blender. 1:15 you can get a sense of the weight of the guy going up the ladder. The way he does the little pump before going up another step, just like people in real life do. In animations, people usually just step-step-step and they have a feeling of being "floaty" or weightless and it kills any sense of realism. It's the small attentions to detail like that... Damn. This is so good.
check this backrooms creator out, his videos take place in the same universe as kane pixels backrooms videos. you cant forget this other backrooms creator, his vid is almost as good as kane pixels ua-cam.com/video/IOLbKF_FfWA/v-deo.html
Kane, like all great special effects artists, uses a mix of blender and real life. In this one, it looks like he built a small ceiling prop and built a complete 3D environment around it. I'm not Kane, though, so I could be way wrong.
goddamn this is blender? now thats impressive. i thought he was using some sort of professional studio or something then again blender is pretty goated so yeah
I am curious if they are going to at least try go thru the roof because the electric cables are going from the "roof" And after that 8:43 minutes we are left with more questiones than answeres, crasy shi..
Part of what makes this series so incredible is not only the incredibly impressive CGI and animation, not the impressive attention to details big and small, and not just the incredible writing, but because it’s true filmmaking for the love and enjoyment of it. That’s why it’s so good because instead of making some poorly made film as a cash grab, he’s making an incredibly intricate and fantastically written series because he wants to and clearly loves making it and following a complex story line. Truly remarkable. This is what we need more of in filmmaking. Everything is a heartless cash grab these days.
I love this concept. You have a scientist explaining the composition of basic ceiling lights to presumably a room filled with other scientists and probably the heads of the company that runs these operations. It really gives this fictional World depth. This feels very accurate to what would actually happen if something like The Backrooms and ASYNC existed.
Thank you Kane for getting my hometown name right! A lot of people pronounce it like "reading" a book instead of the way we pronounce it as "redding". You rock man, keep them coming!
"A November 14th, 1973 Reading Eagle article quoted former Reading Mayor Victor Yarnell as saying that Penn Street is “better off cleared and in fields” than occupied by dilapidated buildings. In addition, these structures provided a surplus of retail space in a time when retail was increasingly moving toward the new malls. Very few businesses were interested in investing in a city shopping district by this time. The city was faced with the choice of letting the structures continue to sit vacant in disrepair or attempting to create new investment opportunity in a place not many wanted to invest. A rock and a hard place, if you will."

I feel like the next logical step is to contact the manufacturers about them (though we know they didn't actually make them)... "Hey Sylvania, did you fulfill an order for 1 billion non-standard florescent light bulbs between 1975 and 1985?" lol
Tho one more thing that I would to check if there's any differences in the labeling/dates/anything to indicate that if any of these lights/boards have any variation or they're all exact identical clones/copies of each other
I am so excited to see the mundane strangeness of this world, there's something so weirdly uncanny and unsettling about all lightbulbs and ceiling tiles being nonstandard sizes that no-ones seen manufactured before. I really appreciate how much research and accuracy you're putting into this!
Honestly, this kind of conscientious attention to scientific detail adds incredible depth, realism, and integrity to a sci-fi/fantasy story. It's EXACTLY what is missing from the sort of vapid story telling that comes out of Hollywood for most of the recent media in this genre. Every fictional world should have rules that sort of loosely reflect or mimic those of the real universe, especially if part of the story is discovering a seemingly-impossible paranormal mystery. Soooo good!

Theory: The way they've opened the backrooms is basically how they'd open wormholes to travel through space and time. Wormholes aren't just a gate connecting two spaces distant from each other, they contain gateways to actual physical plane that is empty by itself. That plane then takes on it's form according to a number of factors. In my opinion, it's the literal world of ideas according to Plato. Infinite space is what they've came in looking for, so they found infinite spaces. That guy from that video felt scared by the space, felt like he was being watched, so the backrooms manifested an entity to fit his ideas.
Kane as a lighting enthusiast I am freaking the hell out right now, this is accurate to the letter. You must have done some research deep into this, maybe asked a fellow collector of mine for information. Very impressed by the attention to detail here. The Sylvania line cross etch is a favorite of mine and I still need to locate a tube for them. One inaccuracy is that at the type period mentioned Sylvania didn't have a soft white lamp, only warm white at least for the F40T12 size in 1973.
Ooohh. Nice extra bit of info. This really plays into how the backrooms tries to replicate things from our realm but never quite right. This, along with the slight deviancy to the fixture and bulb dimensions adds that extra touch of uncanny.
Its a question I've had for a while, I wonder how many volt-amperes per^2 ft is required for all the lighting in the Complex. Given how large the complex is, I couldn't even begin to think about how many branch circuits would be required, let alone the power source required for all that. Or if different parts of the Complex operate on different power sources.
The electronics in the Backrooms connects to a series of advanced transformers. The transformers are connected to the void of the Backrooms which consist entirely of 2000 amps of electricity
@@n.7421they zoom in on the lights in the ceiling at the end and it has the same "3X432" code as the one they sampled, which implies they are copies of eachother. (Plus the weird music at the end also kinda implies that)
My theory is the Backrooms is an "echo" of things in the real world. But like through a kalidescope. The power works because it's copying the electron flow in the real world. And phsycial items are copied over and over again until the "kalidescope" view shifts to another part of our world.
@chadnine3432 Yes, I find it more interesting to think of this as a reflection or something that is some kind of natural otherworldly science, rather than some computer simulation. Analog rather than digital, if you will.
I love this...this is the real kind of stuff scientifically they would do if the Backrooms existed....and it opens up a whole world of questions, obvious one being, where the hell is the power coming from? Has to be a generator or something somewhere....right? Love your work Kane, I only watch your Backrooms stuff as it's very grounded and terrifying to me...because it has an element of realism. Thank you for the hard work you put in to this.
This is my favorite type of Backrooms video... I think i like this style even more than found footage (as much as i love found footage). Diving deep like this into the lore is just so delightfully interesting. Please keep it up Kane. Your work is awesome and this series is iconic to say the least.
check this backrooms creator out, his videos take place in the same universe as kane pixels backrooms videos. you cant forget this other backrooms creator, his vid is almost as good as kane pixels ua-cam.com/video/IOLbKF_FfWA/v-deo.html
This voice actor (actress?) is astoundingly good. Exactly what you'd expect from an engineering nerd giving a case study report, right down to the technical jargon and "ums" and "uhs" that make it seem completely candid. Excellent work.
I noticed it when she said something like, “that’s not my field of expertise”. You’ll hear engineers and scientists say that a lot when they’re asked to speculate on something that has several different facets.
The crazy part? It's Kane with a voice changer, but it sounds so fucking convincing. If you've ever listened to the way Kane speaks there are tells within the cadence. The level of acting skill and technical ability to pull it off convincingly is insane though.
@@ToxicKetchup363 Yeah that explains the lack of a VA credit. I know he does a lot with voice changers as I am pretty sure he voiced the other character in Found Footage 3. But yeah you can tell it is him, though it's done remarkably well.
Hi Kane, I recently watched wendigoon freaking out over the rolling giant. I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to see what more you will do with it. I'm currently watching your backrooms videos and the thought occurred to me. Maybe the reason backrooms isn't as scary and traumatizing as the giant is because maybe it's not supposed to be all that scary. That's not a bad thing, I see backrooms as more of a mystery/thriller and it honestly is what keeps me coming back for more. Oldest view, on the other hand has a lot of different elements that really ramps up fear. For 1, the mall was real and so was the "monster". This just adds to how much a person can relate to the story or perceive it as a real event. The giant itself has this sorta mask theory of fear to it. It's devoid of emotion, you can't tell what It is feeling, so that instills a layer of fear in people, i.e. Michael Myers. It's also that it's inanimate and shouldn't pose any immediate threat. I guess what I'm saying is what you have going with both projects amazing and I'd be fine if they stuck with their themes. You can run with backrooms in any direction really because it's infinite in scale. We don't know all the threats it holds, we just know it's vast and abnormal. Keep up the great work man.
I just watched a several minute highly detailed description of a light fixture and hung on to every word Spielberg be damned. This is where the good stuff is at
4:07 Little John just spent 10 years in the complex saving up 5 million dollars, to buy a 3.168 trillion square foot apartment. But when he opened the door, he was shocked to find there were 35 pits all over his floor. He used GALVANIZED SQUARE STEEL, and industrial screws he borrowed from the bacteria to make a frame around his room. Using eco friendly wood veneers, he covered the pits so he would have space to walk around his new floor. Nice and neat. Now Little John can enjoy his time living in the complex without having to worry about falling. Edit: I just made this into a short on my channel if you want to see that lol
They should carbon date something in the Complex! Determine the age of something organic by using radioactive carbon atoms. Like a rug, if it's not synthetic, or cellulose in the wallpaper or wooden furniture! That would yield some interesting results I bet
the good kind of analog horror played completely straight and serious without actively trying to be scary, but the mundanity and detail of it makes it feel believable and so that freaks you out subliminally same with something like Mystery Flesh Pit National Park
I really do love the fact that you're not only doing long, liminal spaces videos, but also small "world building" videos. It's really getting you inside this whole world, and i'm loving it !
I'm 38 and love watching these videos, i have some playlist someone made of the movies in a kind of chronological order, and it's downloaded so i can watch anywhere, and I'm amazed how young you are and how well you made this where these backroom videos give me a sense of nostalgia, especially the infomercial style videos, it reminds me of being a kid in school and when they would bring in the TV and VCR and play these kind of educational shows that looked like that, I really love it, and i love the eerie feeling of it, I don't care much about the entity part of the videos, and I know it's the liminal space that gives that weird nostalgia feeling, but I swear I've been in the backrooms as a kid when i seen my first video couple of years ago, one with the hallways it was like getting hit with a brick, even today i could still feel it, that sense of being there, that sense of being small and goes things look big, the sound of that hum, the feel of the carpet on my socks, I feel the memory of walking, running around, sitting right in the floor just looking around. It's crazy, I know it's not real, but what if... 🤷♂️🤷♂️ either way thank you so much for making these videos and this whole story, it makes me want to be a billionaire just to buy a huge building and make a "backrooms" just to have to walk in and escape for a while lol, again thank you! And I think it would be great for a video of the backrooms, but no entities or something trying to get the person, just a found footage of a lower battery camera and it's just exploring until camera "dies" i know some people made videos like that but there are so few, most just have creatures, still good but, but i love the non monster videos more 🤙🤷♂️ love your work either way!
5:42 Thanks for the instructions on the hz of the hum of the lights! With that I can finally continue making my own backrooms! Personally, I believe raising the hz slightly makes it easier on the ears. Dont want any entities getting tinnitis!
I’m late on commenting, but Kane, thank you for making these types of videos. I can appreciate the ain’t of detail and effort you put into these! I love the details that are given with the description and analysis of light bulbs. This is beyond amazing!
I genuinely look forward to every new episode of the Back Rooms! This is such an endlessly fascinating world and story Kane Pixels has created that I just can’t get enough of this series and check for the next installment constantly. One of the best, most creative, and engaging things on UA-cam hands down.
Man I ALWAYS wondered what was above the backroom ceiling tiles. You sir, have scratched that itch. You even got the ac90 (armoured cable), the knockouts on the fixture, the magnetic ballast, etc... As an electrician, I appreciate this. Also, that's a pretty clean ceiling space. Although, you could've thrown in half-million junction boxes and a god-tier rat king's worth of cable exploding in every direction and it would've still be too clean 😂... I loved it!
so grateful for the subtitles on this one!! as much as i love the muffled voices i struggle with auditory processing and i always end up missing information 😭
I love how real this series is, the fact that I just watched a 9 minute video about them analyzing the tiles and lighting makes it so much more believable
@@dumbshii3384 might be nothing. Sub floor is the texture that goes above the ceiling, that's all the backrooms knows. It doesn't necessarily mean there's an actual floor on the other side.
Thanks for adding subtitles, Kane. Your videos are all so interesting and I want to understand every detail, but sometimes on past videos I would be looking in the comments for someone to provide a transcript because I couldn’t hear the dialogue clearly. Keep up the amazing work as always. Your attention to detail is unmatched.

As a guy who installs tile ceilings all the time, you woke my interest. So I started checking things:
-The substances which the tiles are made of are 100% accurate
-The structure how the ceiling got installed... or spawned, is exactly how they were made in this period of time.
-That's true the size of the tile falls out of place with any norm worldwide, I checked ASTM and the DIN EN of ISO norms.
-Next thing on the list, I'll ask a friend of mine (electrician with certificate "Bachelor of professional") to check the signs and numbers of the lights.
Thank you.
Typical backrooms.
First glance: Hunh. All looks "normal", "typical", "unremarkable".
Next few glances: What's the point here? Why are these slightly "off". This is unnaturally similar yet notably different.
Later glances: What the actual Eff is going on?! Who made all of this??? Did it make itself?? My head hurts!!
Power source?
Let's gooo
Used to work at a lighting company, it's been 10 years tho. Watching this video and hearing the descriptions of the t12 bulbs and Ballist made me feel like I still worked there. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 100% accurate. It has been 10 years so I don't know forsure
One of my favorite videos in the Backrooms series so far has been Autopsy Report, not for the horror elements, but for its incredible realism. It's not easy to fake knowing a lot about something, and it really seemed like Kane did his research in order to correctly capture the more mundane aspects of an autopsy report. This video takes that to the next level, and I love it
Wow nice
True

@lifegood-f9y Reporting your ass
@lifegood-f9y SPAM is why your dad left you
7:46 The lights have been manufactured in 1973, if you go to the video "Overflow", the project that kick started this whole thing was dated on 8/2/72. I find it to be a neat little detail.
Whoa, so that means that if the backrooms was created/discovered in 1972 then the classic yellow rooms part of the complex was built a year after, or at least took inspiration from that time.
@@austinisawesome2066 Perhaps the information of that initial discovery imprinted that point in time until A-sync properly opened the backrooms with a traversable "gateway".
But do they all have the same serial number? If so, then some force is copying the real world. If not, then more lights should be analyzed for duplicates. Also, since they appear to have been running since 1973, this implies that the backrooms is not as timeless as speculated. Though it could have copied aged bulbs from outside of its own spacetime.
And it appears to possibly take place in Pennsylvania
@@JB52520 it could be timeless but soemthing happend idk
That voice actor is amazing. Seriously. She really sold the entire thing. Absolute masterpiece.
pretty sure it is a mens voice pitched up
I was just saying this. Its not easy to "give a report" and sound like you are actually presenting it to a room full of experts. You have to know what questions they are thinking to give a report, know the audience. This was pretty amazing to listen to, knowing it was just an actor reading a script. And sure, yeah its someone giving dimensions about a ballast or bulb or whatever, but the WAY it was explained was perfect, very professional, dry and direct. Like something a room full of engineers and scientists would be focused on. I could practially taste the coffee someone was probably sipping in that conference room during this.

I love that kane depicts async as human and professional. These guys feel like researchers and not faceless grunts. I pray Async remains a morally grey company instead of trying to make them evil
That ultimately depends on what they plan to do with the backrooms.
There planning to apparently make it commercialized basically make a profit out of it like you discover a dimension with an infinite even endless amount of space and there first thought was how could we make it so that people could live here basically trying to achieve a way to house people in here for very very low amounts of rent money etc for those down on there money that’s why there slowly researching the dimension making it more plausible etc closing ways that cause trouble
this is why i recognise this lore more than those idiots who a) turn the story into a horror jumpscareFEST instead of liminal rooms b) invent idiot monsters eg smileys
the rooms changing and seem sentient sometimes is whats amazing and intriguing to me, i saw one YT channel where they got a robot to drill in the walls and the walls healed itself, the organisation/rooms itself is whats amazing not monsters or jumpscares
Async is evil. The business, the *corporation.* There is no universe in which this place which represents such an existential threat to humanity should be “profitable.” That doesn’t mean the people that work there are evil though. The researchers genuinely want to understand this place and help people. I think both can and should be true at the same time.
Not comparing any government or agency to Asynch here, but my experience in the US military taught me that one can be totally professional and analytical while participating in morally gray stuff.
This video only scratches the surface of what such an investigation would go like. You would have teams of people with inductive “sniffers” tracing the wiring, engineers estimating the power consumption and waste heat, real HVAC people tracing the ductwork, people with thermal cameras imaging everything, someone drilling holes in the “ceiling” *and* floor to run mini scopes through, someone taking samples of the roof beams to figure out where the wood was harvested…
All while the company execs and lawyers were writing cover stories to explain why there are no bodies of company employees who never leave the Complex…
It's a testament to Kane's talents when you watch an 8+ minute video about the physical aspects and components of a ceiling tile and light fixture only to be left with both an eerie sense of foreboding and more questions than answers.

I’m glad to finally see footage of Async actually studying the backrooms and what it’s made out of. Any person in that situation would be wondering why this alternate dimension is made out of seemingly ordinary man-made materials despite being basically infinite. We still don’t know if Async intentionally created the Backrooms or if they just discovered it, but they definitely seem confused as to why it looks the way it does and how the power in there works.
Kane confirmed that the backrooms were discovered and not created
@@zeniththecreator7671 Thank you! I hadn’t heard that so I was just going based off of what I remember from the series. That’s great to finally know for certain.
Hearing "they were built for long-term... possibly indefinite use" was oddly unnerving. These lights could be running indefinitely, possibly outliving everything else around them. Chills.
Next Part
ua-cam.com/video/C7HkRTTMjPk/v-deo.html
Chillis and spices
Also considering who knows how long they’ve been running before they found the backrooms, it’s possible to guess that the lights have been running for a very long time.
The most unnerving part is despite knowing everything about it, down to the chemical composition, they also know nothing about it. In the end they can't identify the reasoning or inner-workings of this "unknown force" tying it all together. SOMETHING, somehow, for some reason, created this place, and meant it to last forever. And nobody can truly fathom what it is. They can only speculate.
@@lambda6145 Well we know the light they removed has likely been running since 1975 since that is the latest dated part it was built with. Or rather when it was copied/mirrored from the real world?
I love how Kane is doing what no other Backrooms content creator is doing, and that's providing almost real-life lore into his videos. Everyone else is too focused doing dumber and dumber levels and unimaginative entities while he's still reigning supreme with the excellent foundation he's laid out for his version of the Backrooms. Please keep doing what you do best!!!
youd love AndyRanimations! Check HIOM AND HIS WORK OUT!
Exactly!!! Hes adding more history to the objects in the backrooms and making them feel even more real. It's actually extraordinary.
After seeing "found footage" I never wanted to see anyone else's take on it but Kane's. He's proved from the first few frames he created that he is immeasurably talented beyond his years, and has an uncanny eye for the details that make this not only intensely fascinating, but also eerily period correct.
As a person in their 40s it blows my mind how good he is at nailing the strange intricacies of old video tech, buildings, culture and just the general vibe of the 80s-90s despite him not being around then.
Absolutely phenomenal.

I kinda understand but really, that's the point, you have to do research to understand it
@@nicolaecalin4217 How can we research not understanding dialogue? Sometimes dialogue is muffled and hard to hear, or just too quiet in some videos. If a creator intends for certain parts of the video to be heard/read/otherwise understood what a character is saying, having multiple options to convey that for accessibility isn't a bad thing. I'll give you sometimes a series with puzzles might make a community look for hidden messages, but otherwise if there's dialogue they just want people to understand, why not have the option of captions just in case the dialogue can't be heard very well in the video for some people?
As someone who is not officially an electrician but has done more than my fair share of repairs on ancient fluorescent light fixtures (and weirdly enjoys it), this video was made for me. Funny enough, I actually have a ballast from 1973 sitting around somewhere that I pulled out of a fixture in the back of the warehouse of the hardware store I used to work at. That thing worked for nearly 50 years until we switched to LEDs that didn't play nice with old ballasts.
Actually kind of funny to think that the wiring in the interdimensional liminal-space existential hell realm might be more competent than some of the stuff in the building I worked at for 6 years. The Backrooms has nothing on the electrical horror of a what happens when a '40s building (some bits may be even older) gets haphazardly expanded and modified over the decades in an isolated small town where code is often a suggestion and contractors are a lethal combination of rare, in-demand, expensive, and frequently unreliable.
Still mad at whoever had the bright idea 30+ years ago to just ... not ground any of the fixtures in the tool section. Somehow no one caught that until I came along despite the multiple instances of melting ballasts and burnt-out bulbs in that area.
Only Kane can show us a man’s slow decent into death and then post an analysis of lightbulbs the next day, while still keeping it interesting.

The fluorescent bulbs and ballast analysis in particular are amazingly thorough and realistic.

kane gave us what we never knew we wanted, but always needed, THE SCIENCE OF THE LIGHTS
Edit: so there seems to be an argument in the comments about how Kane ruined the backrooms by adding dates or something. And let me say. The dates either add mystery or serve as clues as to what the backrooms are. No one can “build” the backrooms. What I think happens is it tries to mimic the real world but can’t quite get things right. Like an ai that can’t quite make hands or something. Kane cannot “ruin” the logic since it’s his interpretation of it, and frankly I think it’s incredibly interesting and entertaining.

Would be cool if UA-cam still had video replies, and Kane's Backrooms got their own totheark.
Absolutely fascinating stuff. I think the exsistance of the backrooms is way more interesting than "epic scary monster" and this video demonstrates that perfectly. Insane VA, direction and script work. Kane you are on another level.
It truly is Plato
It’s next level for sure
I saw a few videos by other people that was essentially just people being chased by monsters in the backrooms and it just didn't do it for me like kane's stuff does.
Monsters ruin the backrooms. You can be chased by a monster anywhere. Parking garage. Forest. Your own house. But the point of this place is that it's seemingly impossible and is only threatening and foreboding in that it potentially unravels our entire understanding of reality itself

I LOVE this! This is EXACTLY what they would do in this situation and it’s I never thought about. Like what are the ceiling tiles made up of? What’s above them. Of course they would investigate that, it’s obvious and yet I never thought about it before
That’s so true
It's mainly because the fandom around the backrooms decided that if you go into the ceiling or something "they'll" get you. Idk why or who tho.
@@purplemist9607
There are versions that say that if you try to break walls/floors/ceilings and such environment elements you will go to a special room/place in the Backrooms where "cheaters" go and you will receive a punishment worse than death, there are also versions that say that you will go into other levels(be them special levels or not), there are also versions which say that the internal structure is something kinda like what Kane represented in this video, other versions say you will fall into the Blue Void(basically the infinite void that lies in the space between levels, a blue void where you will probably fall eternally without dying ever or just fall to your death, depending on the version).
But yeah, there are a huge ton of different versions about what lies behind the floor/walls/ceiling of the Backrooms
I highly agree
@@x_Foxy_ Pppllt. Not much interesting in stuff outside of Async and Pixels
As a building engineer for a commercial property management company, i routinely install/replace all of the equipment shown in this video.
The terminology and parts for all fixtures were satisfyingly accurate lol... I know these things aren't super complicated but Kane definitely did his research to ensure everything came across legit. The only thing that seemed weird was seeing wooden beams for the flooring above the drop ceiling. Every commercial building I've worked in had concrete or steel beams.
Either way, nice work, yet again! Cheers 🍻
Those wooden ceiling beams being out of place are probably by design, honestly. The Complex is already a strange, seemingly infinite plane with random bits of human architecture thrown together haphazardly. One would expect to find steel or concrete beyond the drop ceiling, too, but this certainly isn't a standard commercial building.
Ye
Okay then
I can say as someone with no expertise whatsoever in this that the wooden beams stood out to me, too as something that just didn't belong - and I've no doubt that it absolutely was done deliberately: this series runs on thing that are close but just slightly off model!, like the Backrooms is the invention of something that knows the details of how certain things work in excruciating detail, but completely lacks the knowledge of how it all fits together and why for human use.
It's a nice touch, and Kane Pixels never really overdoes it - it's usually just the occasional, out-of-the-way details that usually seem to be "off", until a character walks by a chair that's completely abnormal in dimensions, or a door-frame that's a weird dimension, or whatever. It wouldn't be until "Found Footage 3" - the video before this one - that Kane really cuts loose with some of the odd dimensions and out-of-place details: most of the space that character walked through was pretty blatantly alien!
@@pietrayday9915 The wooden framing above the drop ceiling makes it feel weirdly residential with the building style, but just plopped on top of an office building as the second floor. It feels wrong
I'm laying down my thoughts here, and you may see this comment on a few other videos of Kane's, but i just want to get a conversation going with some people in this community.
From my understanding, the backrooms are outside of time, and so people have clipped in since the very start of humanity. When the first humans, animals, primordial goo, maybe even alien life forms, whatever clipped in, they evolved over millions of years to be the "bacteria" present there. Also, with Kane's open ended way of telling this story, there are so, SO many ways it could go. There could be entire alien civilizations that have utilized the backrooms for a millenia, if I'm not mistaken in picking up what Kane's putting down. This series, and even more so The Oldest View, are the most personally influential pieces of media I have ever consumed. Words will never be able to describe the way I feel about these works, especially with the absolute stupid amount of effort that goes into them, from the extensive research and knowledge of niche subjects to further enhance the realism and atmosphere, to the beautiful, sometimes gut wrenching music, which in itself is turned into another medium for Kane to weave a story into with the title, thumbnail, and of course the use of leitmotifs and sound design, just like this video.
I know it sounds like I'm glazing the crap out of Kane, and that's because I am. And I'm very proud of it. This kind of storytelling and trust in an intellectual audience is what needs to be topping the charts and being talked about, not whatever the hell they're doing over there at Hollywood. I'm not saying that action flicks or modern generic films are inherently bad; I actually like a lot of them; but what Kane has created here, for one, I don't think anyone has done before, in this way, and two, actually has so much intricacy, atmosphere, and room for interpretation that you could talk about it for generations.
That last part I may actually be exaggerating a bit, but it holds some truth. A massive part in interpreting a story is actually the viewer's personal experience: background, ethnicity, culture, education.
It's no wonder I wrote about Kane in my final paper for my college English class, he's creating something deeply layered and complex, with exceptional skill and subtlety, presented in a way that puts most cinema today to shame.
I can't help but ask... *Could there ever be anything greater than this?*
As an electrician ever since the first episode aired I was like: Look at the light fixtures! They may guide you to a way out. And here it is! The episode I’ve been waiting for! Never expected this but you’ve done a very, very great job in detailing the specific stuff that goes into these (now datet) fixtures!
Though one small point remains, did the power to the supplying part die out after cutting and you can still measure continuity and resistance on the supplying parts to see how far the cables lead and where they might connect to other fixtures in the area. But that may be to specific to grasp for the backrooms genre.
Nice job again for so much correct detail on this!
Wow nice
Okay then
I was looking for this comment. I studied electrical engineering for a semester and ever since introduced to the concept of the backrooms I've always wondered what the deal with the lights are, if they run on any existing electrical standards, and if the wiring of the backrooms itself at all resembles what one would see in a building IRL. After watching this video, I just have more questions than answers! Each light has an autonomous power source? Is there a current limit to the circuits? Presumably if they used standard wiring gauges then there'd be a physical limit to how much current you could run through them even if the current potential was "infinite". But then that begs the question, if each light has an autonomous, self contained power source, where is that power coming from and what are the physics implications of such a thing existing?
I've rambled on a bit here but this is always something that's terrified me about the backrooms. This is a place where our laws of physics and rules of the universe simply do not exist. We aren't meant to be there. Everyone focuses so much on monsters or "null zones" or other hazards they never stop to think of the wrong-physics-based hazards we would never even know about until it's too late.
@@Markel_A It becomes apparent that the complex begins to mimic and “grow” it’s own objects and places, so perhaps that explains why the creatures can look mechanical if it can grow and mimic light fixtures, etc.
@@Markel_A I think the reason people don't question it is just because they've been trained not to see it due to how the complex handles the whole non euclidean geometry--especially the "bigger on the inside" entrance to the dang thing. Most people probably went "yeah alright infinite lights! Anyway time for monsters." But yeah! The lights being infinite is actually real fuckin' weird and while I know it's probably not something kane'll go much further into, I hope he maybe plans on having a few more of these actual clips of their research into the rooms about the small things. I just think it's neat!
I'm also hella excited about this set of comments bc I am studying mechanical engineering rn and have to take an electrical engineering class and have so far understood most of what you guys are saying. Idk I just think that's neat :)
As an Engineer, I gotta say I LOVE and appreciate the detail of this video, you actually did your homework scientifically & historically~ this is why you get the big views, just an unparalleled level of detail and effort that shows your love and care for the medium and content. Congrats to you @Kane Pixels ~
I'm a researcher and hearing an 'expert' examining a portion of Backrooms like this makes me really happy. It's more like a hard science fiction than just a horror fiction.
Similar to the autopsy, it's realistic. Like in this video, the fact that the ceiling tile and lamp look and function like the one in our real world, did raise a lot more questions than answers ... and I love it.
I hope Kane makes more videos like this.
Lol stfu kid u aren't no researcher.
Brilliant! As a guy who sold fluorescent fixtures and tubes in the early 1980s, this was a treat! Thank you, Kane Pixels!
As a building maintenance engineer who's sole enemy is ceiling tiles (replacing them sucks), i was somehow quite surpised at how accurate all the information and visuals seemed. That shot in the interstitial above the tiles was spot on with what i see everyday at work
based name
never in my life did i expect to admit that the analysis of a ceiling light from the backrooms to be infinitely more interesting than encountering the monsters. not that the monsters are bad (kane pixels has handled them pretty well) but more focus on the backrooms themselves and whatever is going on with them feels refreshing. well done
Yes. The backrooms strongest feature I think is the fact that it's a mystery. We humans both love and fear the unknown, so Kane taking the backrooms into this direction is really neat.
Indeed! I want more of this mysterious and unknown Backrooms, and less "levels" and "entities" and childish stuff that most other creators did.
It's interesting that even in the most normal looking part of the backrooms, the weird area outside of the threshold, it's still all kinda fucked up in really subtle ways - the tiles and lights are unnervingly normal at first glance, but also made in very unusual dimensions. The uncanny wrongness of the backrooms spreads to even simple stuff like that.
The fact that it's trying to be normal is alarming. This thing wasn't manufactured by anyone, yet it was this accurate to any lights you would see in some public places.
@@presidentgamingz Looks like AI generated. Looks real at first glance but things don't make sense.
@@martincerny3294 Like AI, it's just an imperfect copy of something and it doesn't know what the things its copying actually are.
@@presidentgamingz AI is the only sensible interpretation of the backrooms imo, and it makes sense that the Daisy song which was the one first sung by a synthetic voice plays such a part in the lore.
This might be one of the best backrooms videos you made, it feels almost as real life, i love these series keep this stuff up!
The fact that these light fixtures have clear markings and identification and construction that can be traced to certain places and times in the real world makes them even more unsettling precisely because you already know that it was never built there and never made by humans, just like the rest of the Backrooms.
I especially like how you can tell the employee doing the report is very deeply unnerved just by how she's talking. Like she's articulating how bafflingly normal this all is while knowing that its 100% not normal at all.
The one comfort is that at least the Backrooms is 100% UL-certified!
Or it was generated by something that used UL-certified lights as its reference. The standard thing in a nonstandard way feels so much like something using generative AI to create.
I’m glad we finally got something like this. I’ve always wanted more things examined in the back rooms. People walk by boxes and desks etc. and I would love for them to examine them but it never happens
The backrooms are just like ai, if you input something you like, this ai will create it for you in weird ways, same as the backrooms, a person noclipped in the backrooms, the backrooms will generate a familiar structures, things, scenarios, and weird stuff associated to that person who noclipped, in a reason i dont know.
@@dumbshii3384 Still very different these are physical spaces being created not on a computer.
What if it was all built by humans?
That is, in endless parallel universes, one specific light fixture went missing in each and every single one of them. Every light fixture you see is the same one but from a different universe.
When I saw the dates on the components: (1973, 1975) I immediately thought back to the video (Backrooms - Overflow) where we see a paper with a signature from Ivan Beck, the manager of A-sync I believe and especially dating from 1972.. Backrooms have a history before 1989
We are getting closer
But, how in the world Ivan Beck made the Backrooms simulation that copies the real world through time and space.
Love it
True
“If anyone, blame him”
Thank god the Complex is running on UL listed fixtures, as an electrician that was the most terrifying thing, what if there's a fire hazard?
@lifegood-f9ycap
Too bad they didn't inspect the conduit, how will we know if the Complex has been wired in compliance to NEC standards.
a backrooms fire would be crazy
For ages now I've fantasised about ripping out electrical fittings in the Backrooms, and starting a fire! Especially in the Backrooms created by Lost in the Hyperverse, which have a lot of fabric and suchlike.
Anything to get the attention of whatever created them! Set it all on fire, then go to a Pool Room to wait it out.
That’s a good thing, because there doesn’t seem to be any provision for a fire, as there are no sprinkler systems that I’m aware of, unless I missed it.
He's tricking us all into learning about light fixtures.
I still can't believe this is done in Blender. 1:15 you can get a sense of the weight of the guy going up the ladder. The way he does the little pump before going up another step, just like people in real life do. In animations, people usually just step-step-step and they have a feeling of being "floaty" or weightless and it kills any sense of realism. It's the small attentions to detail like that... Damn. This is so good.

He’s using a suit that tracks his movement. The animation is done naturally.
goddamn this is blender? now thats impressive. i thought he was using some sort of professional studio or something

Part of what makes this series so incredible is not only the incredibly impressive CGI and animation, not the impressive attention to details big and small, and not just the incredible writing, but because it’s true filmmaking for the love and enjoyment of it. That’s why it’s so good because instead of making some poorly made film as a cash grab, he’s making an incredibly intricate and fantastically written series because he wants to and clearly loves making it and following a complex story line. Truly remarkable. This is what we need more of in filmmaking. Everything is a heartless cash grab these days.
I love this concept. You have a scientist explaining the composition of basic ceiling lights to presumably a room filled with other scientists and probably the heads of the company that runs these operations. It really gives this fictional World depth. This feels very accurate to what would actually happen if something like The Backrooms and ASYNC existed.

"A November 14th, 1973 Reading Eagle article quoted former Reading Mayor Victor Yarnell as saying that Penn Street is “better off cleared and in fields” than occupied by dilapidated buildings. In addition, these structures provided a surplus of retail space in a time when retail was increasingly moving toward the new malls. Very few businesses were interested in investing in a city shopping district by this time. The city was faced with the choice of letting the structures continue to sit vacant in disrepair or attempting to create new investment opportunity in a place not many wanted to invest. A rock and a hard place, if you will."

I bet they made 1 of that light and it's in the ASYNC building somewhere.
Tho one more thing that I would to check if there's any differences in the labeling/dates/anything to indicate that if any of these lights/boards have any variation or they're all exact identical clones/copies of each other

It's EXACTLY what is missing from the sort of vapid story telling that comes out of Hollywood for most of the recent media in this genre.

Theory: The way they've opened the backrooms is basically how they'd open wormholes to travel through space and time. Wormholes aren't just a gate connecting two spaces distant from each other, they contain gateways to actual physical plane that is empty by itself.
That plane then takes on it's form according to a number of factors. In my opinion, it's the literal world of ideas according to Plato. Infinite space is what they've came in looking for, so they found infinite spaces. That guy from that video felt scared by the space, felt like he was being watched, so the backrooms manifested an entity to fit his ideas.
Kane as a lighting enthusiast I am freaking the hell out right now, this is accurate to the letter. You must have done some research deep into this, maybe asked a fellow collector of mine for information. Very impressed by the attention to detail here. The Sylvania line cross etch is a favorite of mine and I still need to locate a tube for them. One inaccuracy is that at the type period mentioned Sylvania didn't have a soft white lamp, only warm white at least for the F40T12 size in 1973.
Ooohh. Nice extra bit of info. This really plays into how the backrooms tries to replicate things from our realm but never quite right. This, along with the slight deviancy to the fixture and bulb dimensions adds that extra touch of uncanny.
Username checks out
I thought you were Pulsestart124 for a moment (another light nerd channel). I just recommend this vid to him too. 🤘
Very interesting, I never considered tapping into the backrooms supply of electricity
Its a question I've had for a while, I wonder how many volt-amperes per^2 ft is required for all the lighting in the Complex. Given how large the complex is, I couldn't even begin to think about how many branch circuits would be required, let alone the power source required for all that. Or if different parts of the Complex operate on different power sources.
@@justsomehalofan4386I'd assume they have a lot of smaller independent power sources, kind of like powerplants in a country

The electronics in the Backrooms connects to a series of advanced transformers. The transformers are connected to the void of the Backrooms which consist entirely of 2000 amps of electricity
The ending implies that every light fixture in the entire backrooms is the same. Essentially, the backrooms has a copy and paste of one light fixture.
no they only analyzed one lamp and they didnt get a second one, so we dont know if its all the same
that's even more terrifying
@@n.7421they zoom in on the lights in the ceiling at the end and it has the same "3X432" code as the one they sampled, which implies they are copies of eachother. (Plus the weird music at the end also kinda implies that)
My theory is the Backrooms is an "echo" of things in the real world. But like through a kalidescope. The power works because it's copying the electron flow in the real world. And phsycial items are copied over and over again until the "kalidescope" view shifts to another part of our world.

Hi Kane, I recently watched wendigoon freaking out over the rolling giant. I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to see what more you will do with it. I'm currently watching your backrooms videos and the thought occurred to me. Maybe the reason backrooms isn't as scary and traumatizing as the giant is because maybe it's not supposed to be all that scary. That's not a bad thing, I see backrooms as more of a mystery/thriller and it honestly is what keeps me coming back for more. Oldest view, on the other hand has a lot of different elements that really ramps up fear. For 1, the mall was real and so was the "monster". This just adds to how much a person can relate to the story or perceive it as a real event. The giant itself has this sorta mask theory of fear to it. It's devoid of emotion, you can't tell what It is feeling, so that instills a layer of fear in people, i.e. Michael Myers. It's also that it's inanimate and shouldn't pose any immediate threat. I guess what I'm saying is what you have going with both projects amazing and I'd be fine if they stuck with their themes. You can run with backrooms in any direction really because it's infinite in scale. We don't know all the threats it holds, we just know it's vast and abnormal. Keep up the great work man.

I'm 38 and love watching these videos, i have some playlist someone made of the movies in a kind of chronological order, and it's downloaded so i can watch anywhere, and I'm amazed how young you are and how well you made this where these backroom videos give me a sense of nostalgia, especially the infomercial style videos, it reminds me of being a kid in school and when they would bring in the TV and VCR and play these kind of educational shows that looked like that, I really love it, and i love the eerie feeling of it, I don't care much about the entity part of the videos, and I know it's the liminal space that gives that weird nostalgia feeling, but I swear I've been in the backrooms as a kid when i seen my first video couple of years ago, one with the hallways it was like getting hit with a brick, even today i could still feel it, that sense of being there, that sense of being small and goes things look big, the sound of that hum, the feel of the carpet on my socks, I feel the memory of walking, running around, sitting right in the floor just looking around. It's crazy, I know it's not real, but what if... 🤷♂️🤷♂️ either way thank you so much for making these videos and this whole story, it makes me want to be a billionaire just to buy a huge building and make a "backrooms" just to have to walk in and escape for a while lol, again thank you! And I think it would be great for a video of the backrooms, but no entities or something trying to get the person, just a found footage of a lower battery camera and it's just exploring until camera "dies" i know some people made videos like that but there are so few, most just have creatures, still good but, but i love the non monster videos more 🤙🤷♂️ love your work either way!
Literally no one asked dawg.
@@TheNotSoRealJeff2 oh well 🤷♂️🤙
5:42 Thanks for the instructions on the hz of the hum of the lights! With that I can finally continue making my own backrooms! Personally, I believe raising the hz slightly makes it easier on the ears. Dont want any entities getting tinnitis!
remember, the humming comes from the ballast, not the tubes themselves!
As an electrician, I can tell you did the ins and outs of studying lay in light fixtures huh. Good work. 👍💡
Its nice to see whats actually above the ceiling. I feel like no one ever talks about that in the backrooms.
I’m late on commenting, but Kane, thank you for making these types of videos. I can appreciate the ain’t of detail and effort you put into these! I love the details that are given with the description and analysis of light bulbs. This is beyond amazing!
I genuinely look forward to every new episode of the Back Rooms! This is such an endlessly fascinating world and story Kane Pixels has created that I just can’t get enough of this series and check for the next installment constantly. One of the best, most creative, and engaging things on UA-cam hands down.
Man I ALWAYS wondered what was above the backroom ceiling tiles. You sir, have scratched that itch. You even got the ac90 (armoured cable), the knockouts on the fixture, the magnetic ballast, etc... As an electrician, I appreciate this. Also, that's a pretty clean ceiling space. Although, you could've thrown in half-million junction boxes and a god-tier rat king's worth of cable exploding in every direction and it would've still be too clean 😂... I loved it!
I like the tiuch casual dialogue added in. Really makes this feel even more real
so grateful for the subtitles on this one!! as much as i love the muffled voices i struggle with auditory processing and i always end up missing information 😭
I love how real this series is, the fact that I just watched a 9 minute video about them analyzing the tiles and lighting makes it so much more believable
Holy shiiiiiit, I always wondered what the lore would be if you opened the ceiling up
And now i know, i want to know now whats above the woodplank floors.
@@dumbshii3384it seems like the next logical step to go
@@dumbshii3384 might be nothing. Sub floor is the texture that goes above the ceiling, that's all the backrooms knows. It doesn't necessarily mean there's an actual floor on the other side.
@@Grant-dx3qt but backrooms are weird right? I will never be suprised if they find a whole suburban neighborhood above. Or maybe another endless room.
Thanks for adding subtitles, Kane. Your videos are all so interesting and I want to understand every detail, but sometimes on past videos I would be looking in the comments for someone to provide a transcript because I couldn’t hear the dialogue clearly. Keep up the amazing work as always. Your attention to detail is unmatched.
I assume any voices in the earlier episodes that may have been difficult to understand was intentional on Kane's part, to amplify uneasiness.
From now on, this is my favorite channel on all of UA-cam!
