LED Acrylic & Wood Cube Lights
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- I made a pair of led cubes using wood and acrylic with rgb 5 volt leds that mean it can be powered from any computer usb port or 5 volt power bank. You can daisy chain any number together and have them all remotely controlled.

The author does like to from scratch, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
Love the looks of these lights. I never would have guessed how they were put together. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to see the smile and the passion continue even through the tough times.. Keep up the great creative work. I love they way you document and show how to build these fantastic projects. Would you ever consider using reclaimed material for your projects? Re-purposing old items and using the material for a build?
Loved the design! Also liked the idea that the hole saw marks on the acrylic work prety well as a diffuser!
This would make an awesome gift idea. Definitely on my list of things to try.
I like how you have drawings to go along with the project. Good work here 👍
Very cool project. Design is SO often a problem in DIY projects. It's as if saving money is the only reason some people think justifies making something yourself. I like that you do an artistic job, even if it's for a so-called utilitarian project.
KEEP IT UP, it's great!
Really creates atmosphere and doesn't look cheap like a lot led lights I have seen. Nice job!
Awesome! Another project I am going to try! I have lots of mahogany I got out of a dumpster at work when they remodeled and this is a great project to give a try!
Wow, Lynn! Those came out pretty amazing! I love it!
Well done. The result looks pretty nice. Thank you for sharing.
You're a really awesome woman. I admire you so much, please continue doing this, your videos inspire me to build things too. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Linn I really like the color change led lights those look fantastic
Very cool project! Came out great.
Darbin + LEDs? Made my day!! Wood and acrylic just works so well together, don't you think?
You prolly dont care but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Archer Chance Instablaster :)
@Kamryn Tony Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kamryn Tony It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Archer Chance Glad I could help :D
Beautiful lamp...nice job!!
Beautiful, love it, so cool, great job, well done and thank you for sharing.
I always enjoy your LED project!
These look awesome! Good job!
I love these! Looks awesome.
Really beautiful work, Linn! A tip I just discovered watching drone video buildings: try to find some silicone wire. The difference from usual wire and silicone wire is that the silicone is that the isolation won't melt with the heat from the soldering iron! I'm already looking for some of those. :)
Amazing...awesome creation and idea... Wonderful inspiration.... Tx very much from Indonesia
This might make a neat nightlight in a nursery! When my son was small, he had a white Teddy Bear that had LEDs inside it, when you squeezed the paw, it would cycle thru the colors (it was as soft glow). He would fall to sleep a light easier with it. I think it was called a Glo-Bear.
super cool.super neat looking!
Nice project! looks great!!
They are beautiful lights.
I need to try this project! Very cool!
Wow that looks freaking cool! Off to make some!
Nice job Linn! 👍
Totally a wonderful gift idea for someone ... OR more accurately, more realistically, oh, a gift for me !
Great Project and Great Explanation
@04:12 You use regular USB connectors for powering the LED Light strips. When I will be building this project I will use a different type of connector.
Because of the RGB, you have power on D+ and D- leads of the connector too, and this is outside of the USB specification. I would warn the users, do not plug regular USB devices into those connectors on the cubes, to avoid problems.
What a wonderful idea!
Great Design
I really like this design
Muito legal
Very nice
Bel progetto...Complimenti..🔨🔨
Looks great!
You rock! Very talented.
Very cool build! 👍🏼
looks great! congrats!
To control the lights I would use an Arduino controller. It takes a little bit of programming, but there are a lot of people that have already done the programming for you. You just simply input the program into the Arduino controller and it's good to go. Nice project.
Prety simple pretty project!
Good work
What a wonderful act i love it
Great job. Thanks.
Dear Madam
A wonderful work that will light💡 the minds of your viewers also.
looks great
I think this is now on my project list:) looks great
You're amazing please keep up the amazing work!!
Good work.
très jolie la réalisation !!! hello de France
Wonderful
Very Nice!!!
Nice project. Your lovely assistant (Matt) is doing a great job. (: >
Very cool! I wanna attempt this soon with thinner wood (maybe 3-4 different species) and frost the acrylic. Probably use a simpler light...I'm a drummer, me and electricity don't understand each other lol. Very cool project indeed! :)
I was hoping for something related to pvc pipes..!! Although really beautiful creation..😘👏👏
Awesome!
J adore le mélange bois acrylique c est super beau
Bravo Line
This is great!
Really, really build!!! I wanna get 'em!!
I like that Linn. Well made. 👍🏼😊
Just a thought, as you were cutting the acrylic 4x4 you noticed it rising up which could kick back...use a pencil with its eraser to hold it down, hate for you do get hurt. 😢👍🏼
Very nice she is very creative and smart girl thanks for sharing your ideas 😋😘
Very cool
Cool cubes
Would also make blue tooth speakers too but thats my thinking
Good jobs 👌
Great design and video. : )
Cool girl u got some talent 👍😊
Very Nice
Great project, keep it up.
Just a few notes: perhaps one could use Super Glue in gel form?
I would connect the second USB plug to the first USB plug where the power comes in and not at the end of the led strip, due to voltage drop... especially if one connects more of these in series... just my 5 cents. I hope you don’t mind,
Very nice 🤗
I will definitely buy this light blocks from you because I don't have the skills or the tools to make such wonderful pieces.
Only issue that I have are the cables which are visible through the acrylic. If you made a hole in the dowel you could use that as a channel for those cables or just wrap the strip around the cables.
Cool use of USB cables. Probably one note here would be - make sure they are good quality, especially if you're planning on making more lights - the data cables (usually green and white) can be quite thinner than the power and ground ones so they may not be great for larger current.
I build a similar project with large Ikea standing lamp but I'm using Wifi (and recently HomeKit) to control it. Even thought about making a video about it :) And when using micro controller there's also a possibility to use neopixels and make cool animations, something I have planned for one of my next projects.
The LEDs in those strips are connected in parallel, so you don't actually have to connect cables on the other end of the strip. You can just split the incoming wires into two; one to the strip and one to the daisy-chain connector.
As for cables, I've found old telephone cables and RJ11 connectors to be pretty neat for these kinds of projects. They're also dirt cheap 😃
Excellent work. Keep it up.. I also can make different shapes of objects but I don’t have much knowledge of connecting the electrical system. Can you explain slowly how you connect all wires, bulbs, USB port and etc. Thanks for your useful videos. Congratulations..
I love it!!! looks like my vu meter tower. cheers
Proyectos LED Ste man, ligando 100% pillado :v.
no one cares
sikkkkkkkk
Not bad, looks good.
Nice !!!!
Hello, about how you connected the controller to USB and the LED strip to USB, did you follow any guidelines on how to connect the wires? Could you share that please, if you have it? Thanks!
Great project linn - what grit did you sand the acrylic up to?
Very stylish
The best 🖖🇺🇸....
Oops....should have said .... really, really SUPER GREAT build!
Kayinfso Here i
Con pistola de calor industrial, los cantos del acrilico se hacen mas claros y cristalinos
Great! Which is the model of the cnc machine, and where is buy? Thanks!
Nice
Where do you find your leather. Having trouble finding a supplier here in eastern Iowa
Looks really cool; instead of gluing, I would have screwed the bottom piece into the acrylic so that you have access if the led's ever fail.
Darbin, Very well done. I'm going to make some of these myself. Love your projects. :)
May i ask if anyone knows about LED strips here? Is there a difference in a 12v RGB or single color LED strip and a 5v RGB or single color LED strip? Also a silly question, i dont think a 5v power supply would work on a 12v LED strip right?
did you have to polish the acrylic to make up for the saw marks?
Very attractive.
What CNC machine do you use?
lin you can make videos on pencil stand, ornaments box with Velvat cover, this will take less investment and moreover because you can't do Heavy load work, this will be more suitable , thank you 😊😊😊
good!
Nice.
How about using the acrylic offcut centres for another taller round lamp just drill out the middle again - less waste ))
Vackra lyktor tror jag skall göra något för utomhus tack för iden
Nice girl, and practical, and knowledge. . . . yes!
Superb work how is cost
👍👍👍
You might want to try using a hair dryer or heat gun when working with heat shrink tubing. Its better than using a lighter.
