Build an LED Light-Shelf
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2013
- In light of achieving over one-thousand subscribers (thanks everyone!), I thought I'd make another how-to video. In this one, I will show you how to build a wall-hanging light bar that looks quite modern and cool. It's a super simple build, and should be easy for most people to make.

Darn it! You've revealed my identity! Now I will have to lie low and not use my spidy powers for a while...
Have your spidey powers returned?

Now it's 168,000% higher :)
It's crazy how great your video production was, even at 1,000 subscribers. I always look forward to your excellent content! Keep it up Matt!
Hello there And thank you for all of your workshops on all of these things, as I am very new to these things. You have given me an appetite for wanting to do many of them for myself as home hobbies for myself seeing as I am not to well physically and doing things at home is a blessing and it is giving me a great lift spiritually too. Again my thanks. Tom Seath, South Australia
Wow 1,000 subs! Look at you now!!
"I just got over 1000 subscribers". Now It's over 2.77 million. Still going strong. Inspirational for others. Excellent work. 👍
this is the first one of your vids which is actually realistic my level of DIY haha!! Amazing!! Love your vids mate, one of my favourite channels on youtube.
Thank you so much for the video Matt. Very easy to understand and great ideas. My wife and I really appreciate your taking the time to share your ideas with us. We wish you all the best from Wisconsin, USA!
HAPPY 2.39 MILLION SUBSCRIBER!
Watching it 7 years later, it's funny to hear "I have 1000 subscribers now..." 2.5 M to date. Great channel, Matt!
1000 subscribers...now over 300,000. How times change, eh?
Plus one more now.

1000 subscribers, now over 1.1 MILLION. Congratulations!
This creates great lighting conditions inside a room. There are no shadows, and it feels like you are outside with the sky above! Thanks for this video, great idea!
By the way, a super simple alternative is to glue a circular cardboard covered in aluminum foil, on the bottom of the light bulb hanging off the roof. However, it's EXTREMELY important that the bulb is LED, so it doesn't get hot. If it gets hot, it can burn the cardboard.
I'd really like to see how you wire this into your home's power with a light switch to control it. Actually, most of the home wiring videos on UA-cam are pretty low quality, so that might be a good niche your channel could serve as well.
Over a million right now. Great channel!
Me seeing the white keyboard at 4:09 in 2021: "damn, how did you get a Raspberry Pi 400 in 2013?"
It is wonderful to see how far your channel has come, going from 1000 to 2.7m subscribers!
I love LED spindles, i swear I have seen tons of projects with these things from lights around the TV, Desk, to making cake pan lights for filmography. They are a versitle product.
Now that's a cool idea!
Thanks for the great idea! I have done it on the edge of my toolshelfes, and it works great!
"thousand subs is a lot"
I wish I could time travel and show his current sub count of 3.4M to this Matt... Probably won't believe me at all
Even though this video is kind of old it still has nice quality. You are one of the better youtubers Matt =)

Luckily, he made the "How to Fix a Scratched Monitor" video...
LOL
It's actually 4 vids after this one. This is just what inspired, or rather, necessitated that video.
Lmao
Congrats on 100,000 Subscribers! Awesome DIY videos! :D
such a likeable person and knows what he is talking about. subbed
Look how far you've come lol
His room is so neat and clean
I came to checkout the ideas.. but not just i got the tips but also your smile make me happy somehow.
1 thousand is going to be 2 Million soon 👍👍🤩🎁
Thanks for all the great videos. You gave me ideas for about three projects!
Am i the only one who realizes that Matthew is soooo adorable and has amazing eyes?
another great video, thanks Matt.
OVER a MILLION now. WOW
Almost 3 milion now... this "quite a lot - 1000 subs" looks so innocently modest rn! :D
1,000 subscribers :D Matt soaring past 3.23m in less than 8 years! Bravo!
Great Video Matt, useful and practical as always
Really cool stuff!
A while ago i got a strip of RGB led lights and an IR reciever with a remote. Gives me awesome colorful lighting in my room :)
1000 subscribers now over a million
What a brilliant idea, thanks for doing this
Just made one of these and it's *SO GOOD*.
6 years and you went from 1k to 1.6M subs. Impressive and well deserved! Thanks for the vids!!!
Watching at about 675,000 subs, love your videos man and so proud of you mate.
Cheers
Oh how cute how excited yuo were about 1000 subs :D And now we are here, at over 500,000 :D

You Brits - so polite. Everybody else shamelessly begging for subscriptions. You just said in the most polite and calming manner - "and maybe subscribe if you like what you see."
These are very cool!
I made a version of this a few months ago. I used a length of angle aluminium instead which also works as a heatsink for the led strip. Screwed it to the wall, connected it up to a 12V power brick and it is looking very fine.
1000 subscribers and now your at 1.4 Million! 🙌🏼
Agreed with possibility jack :p I too want to spend all my days with you and build as many projects like these and many more
Google is your friend for that kind of info ;)
USB voltage is always 5v, and .5 amps, so it wouldn't be enough to power even one meter of LED strip.
If you're using a desktop, you could use the 12v rail of the PSU, which would power it nicely. The PC would obviously have to be turned on though.
Those cute little monitors hah. Love the channel.
Now over 530,000 subscribers. You've come a long way in a little over 3 years. I just subbed! :)
As always: great video, and thanks for the videos, keep it up.
came on your channel by sheer accident i am glad i have found you your diys are right up my street subscribed thanks
Was that two posters praising God I saw in that scene? Praise the Lord Matt, glad to see another brother in Christ along my UA-cam travels. God bless.
Your videos are so well made i had to sub :D
Haha 1000 subs? 2.8 million my friend. The success you've had is completely deserved!
Very cool projects. I really like your ideas :D
Love your videos man. Well done. Subbed.
Great idea, thanks for sharing
Brother you are amazing, i don't really have to many tools to build things but i love watching your videos! :)
Hi there. Thank you so much for this upload. My friends have a beautiful wide shot phot with lots of warm tones in it but the light near by is a harsh blue and doesn't do it justice! I'm going to try this out for them!
A little late to the game here but I actually just built this above my desk! Couldn't have done it without the help! Many thanks!!
You have brilliant ideas!
you sir are living a continuation of my childhood. this is awesome! sub'ed
Interrupted the video within 1 minute of play and subscribed.
Thumbs up man.
amazing idea mate, thank you
wow watching this video 2 1/2 years later and you went from 1,000 subs to over 394k. Impressive and congrats.
As soon as you said "I just got a thousand subscribers " I looked at your current number and said GOT DAMN!

Hello from the future, you are now at 2.19M subscribers which is _quite_ well done mate :D
Your intelligence is so attractive, which is mostly why I watch your channel lol
Good job man !!
Its April of the year 2021, and this video has nearly a million views and you're so close to 3 MILLION subscribers.
Man have you come a long way! 3.11m subs and climbing
From 1,000 to 1,000,000! :) Congrats!
Very nice LED strip lights！
Yeah, now over 1,1 mln :) still enjoying the videos
Wow really cool, glad if found your channel please make more :D.
Your videos make me want to learn more about circuits! I only know the basics :(
I like this idea! Pretty Cool! :)
you can buy (primed) L-angle molding at any wood supply for a few bucks per 8' strip.
*A million subs later...*
i made some of these using some long plastic "L shaped" strips from B&Q - much easier than using bits of wood, and the white plastic saves painting, and reflects the light quite nicely :)
i was looking at ikea lighting but found myself here. Im not disappointed at all except i dont have soldering iron. Great video
Very nice
To prevent overheating you should always install some sort of heat sink material (e.g. aluminium strip) on which to mount the LED particularly if you are using flammable material for the coving as in this case.
I just simply love your video, the way you speak is so pleasant to hear, almost like massage the ear tunnel ....:-) lol haha
Who is also here at 1.4 Million Subscribers?😂

Looks like 1.89 million now
