Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- In this video I will show a unique idea to install 4 meters of LIFX Z multizone RGB Strips on IKEA SKADIS pegboard without the need for cutting the RGB strips. The IKEA SKADIS Pegboard is an excellent organizer for your daily accessories and items. Adding RGB to this pegboard will add a lot of character and make the setup look further amazing. The multizone effects and the unique method of installation will give consistent glow on the entire pegboard and unlimited color customization options.

Love the shout-out to your dad. Just lost mine, and he was also the King of DIY at our house growing up. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks 🙏🏼. I wish you all the best and strength in life.
Cool project, I plan on imitating it. Thanks.
This looks awesome! 🔥
I can’t wait to get my pegboard and set it up like this. Thank you for the idea and looking forward to more content from you!!
Thanks for watching
Just did this exact build and I'm so happy with it, excellent guide! Thank you :) I did 2 of the large pegboards with the 120" + 40" LIFX extension and it fit perfectly
Thanks for watching 😊
This looks awesome! Thanks for This video.
Im stealing this idea. Thank u. Finally know what to do with all the alu rgb channels i have laying around.
Thanks for commenting. Glad you liked it
Super thanks for This video!
Super thanks for commenting. Cheers
Looks wonderful! my nearest IKEA is about 1000kms or 683 miles away and they have low stock on Skadis and its accessories, I hope to try and create something similar soon :) thanks for the inspiration
You can also look at the black Uppspel pegboards. They are same but more gaming looks. I have changed to those now
Nice 🎉
noiceeeeee
Glad you found it noiceeee 😁
😊👍
Thanks 🙏🏼
Great job! Where are the diffusers from? Don't see them in your materials list.
Apologies for delay in response. I got diffusers from a local electrical shop. Hence no link. Below is Amazon UAE link which looks similar to mine. Hope it helps.

Would you also be able to do this strategy with the glass cabinet pegboards? My idea was to put 4 regular pegboards of 30”x22” across a wall and put 4 cabinets directly above the pegboards. I just didn’t know if the cabinets were made different preventing you dfrom applying the same technique as you did on these pegboards with the defuser.
Yes, it should work on the Uppspel cabinets. Infact you do not need the aluminum diffusers behind. Have a look at this picture.

All the best.
@@TechieSnake thank you for your reply and for the research you did for me. One last question, if I was to have 4 of them side by side do you know the best way I could use the Lifx strips to light all of them up or do you think I would have to use 4 different light bundles? Sorry if I didn’t explain that the best way haha
Great VID.. thanks for the tutorial.. Question?? Wouldn't not using the diffusers just intensify the overall brightness? Is there a downside I am missing? Was thinking of doing this with just some furring strips and RGBIC GoVee strips. Loking for some heads up if this is an overly simplified approach that will not yield the desired results????
Do you mean stick behind the pegboard directly ? Or you mean without diffuser covering?
@@TechieSnake I just used spacers behind the mirror frame. No diffusers
@@johnq6123 that’s fine too as long as you like it. I like diffusers as they distribute the lighting more evenly.
@@TechieSnake - I didn't see a link for the diffuser.
Hi can you list what led channels you used ? And I’m guessing you used a hack saw?
Yes I used hacksaw but I did that in the shop itself and they helped me. A bit time consuming to cut. I have an electric jigsaw now which is much easier now.
I used Aluminum channel diffusers from a local hardware shop.
What's causing the light leak in the corners where the boards meet? Gaps in the channels? Or gap in the pegboards?
Gaps in the channels. Can avoid by getting exact length channels.
I would like to add these pegboards in a corner section of my wall so it will be mounted on 2 walls instead. (30x22/14.25x22 on one side and 22x22 on the other) Is that something that's possible to do with these Ikea pegboards and led strips?
You could do it. Only you need to be careful at the corners. The gap behind the boards should be enough
What did you use to mount the peg board?
I used the same fixtures that come with the ikea pegboard
Come from

Thanks 🙏🏼
@@TechieSnake انت عربي صح ?
Would have been much easier if you had used Twinkly Dots, you would not have had the light bleed at the corners.
if you want the led strips to highlight the Pegboard, then I am not sure the diffuser is the best solution.
You can remove the cover of the diffuser but I like the diffuser as LIFX strips are super bright already
There is a lot of light leaking in the corners and joints which ruins total look.
You could seal it by some tape. It’s possible. Just need to close the gaps between the raceways and wall.
No way 3 skadis is 4 metres when one is max 79 cm
4 meters is the perimeter
@@TechieSnake ikea make the big ones 79 cm! So when u use 1 x 79 cm and 2 x 52 cm then that cannot be 4 metres just admit it
@@Rene-kg7pf looking up the dimensions on the Ikea Australia website, there's 36x56cm, 56x56cm, and 76x56cm. I'm guessing he's using a 76x56cm in the middle flanked by two 36x56cm on both sides. That's a total perimeter of 408cm. Now since the light strip is inset inside, 4 meters sounds about right.
That’s right. Thanks for the clarification
It's too overt tbh. I prefer a lampshade and a fake plant.
