Build an LED Light-Shelf
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 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?
Uhmm , meanwhile in 2021 : 2.72M Subs
"i just got over 1000 subscribers" looks like 1.4 million now :)
1.5 now
@@b-init1221 nope.. 0.1586 km
1.62
1.66M now😂
Now it's 168,000% higher :)
3.93 million subscribers. Well done mate!
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!
1000 subscribers...now over 300,000. How times change, eh?
Plus one more now.
+Lucas Williams Now over 415,920!
+Homemade Laboratory now 430
+jaffar syria now 451
+Matt Meras 456
Watching it 7 years later, it's funny to hear "I have 1000 subscribers now..." 2.5 M to date. Great channel, Matt!
"I just got over 1000 subscribers". Now It's over 2.77 million. Still going strong. Inspirational for others. Excellent work. 👍
Wow 1,000 subs! Look at you now!!
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."

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
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.
Now that's a cool idea!
"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
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'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 RUclips are pretty low quality, so that might be a good niche your channel could serve as well.
1000 subscribers, now over 1.1 MILLION. Congratulations!
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
HAPPY 2.39 MILLION SUBSCRIBER!
Am i the only one who realizes that Matthew is soooo adorable and has amazing eyes?
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.
Thanks for the great idea! I have done it on the edge of my toolshelfes, and it works great!
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.
Look how far you've come lol
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!

1000 subscribers now over a million
6 years and you went from 1k to 1.6M subs. Impressive and well deserved! Thanks for the vids!!!
Was that two posters praising God I saw in that scene? Praise the Lord Matt, glad to see another brother in Christ along my RUclips travels. God bless.
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.
another great video, thanks Matt.
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 :)
Over a million right now. Great channel!
1,000 subscribers :D Matt soaring past 3.23m in less than 8 years! Bravo!
As soon as you said "I just got a thousand subscribers " I looked at your current number and said GOT DAMN!
Daib Starks shup up nigga
such a likeable person and knows what he is talking about. subbed
Even though this video is kind of old it still has nice quality. You are one of the better youtubers Matt =)
What a brilliant idea, thanks for doing this
Almost 3 milion now... this "quite a lot - 1000 subs" looks so innocently modest rn! :D
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
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.
Those cute little monitors hah. Love the channel.
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!
Congrats on 100,000 Subscribers! Awesome DIY videos! :D
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 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.
1 thousand is going to be 2 Million soon 👍👍🤩🎁
you can buy (primed) L-angle molding at any wood supply for a few bucks per 8' strip.
thank you so much. this was exactly what i was looking for
Thanks for all the great videos. You gave me ideas for about three projects!
Haha 1000 subs? 2.8 million my friend. The success you've had is completely deserved!
Great Video Matt, useful and practical as always
As always: great video, and thanks for the videos, keep it up.
Yes, Yes, Yes !!! Thank you so much, Delightful idea !:))))
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.
OVER a MILLION now. WOW
Your intelligence is so attractive, which is mostly why I watch your channel lol
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.
Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work mate....
I came to checkout the ideas.. but not just i got the tips but also your smile make me happy somehow.
Your videos are so well made i had to sub :D
AND NOW YOU HAVE 1.3MILLION!!!! congrats man! i love your channel! ive made almost everything youve made! your amazing man! thank you so much!!!!
1000 subscribers and now your at 1.4 Million! 🙌🏼
You have brilliant ideas!
Very cool projects. I really like your ideas :D
came on your channel by sheer accident i am glad i have found you your diys are right up my street subscribed thanks
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 :)
His room is so neat and clean
Great idea, thanks for sharing
I just simply love your video, the way you speak is so pleasant to hear, almost like massage the ear tunnel ....:-) lol haha
I'm thinking about uploading it next week, but we shall see :)
Watching at about 675,000 subs, love your videos man and so proud of you mate.
Cheers
Nice in this video you said you had 1000 subscribers in just 3 years you now have over half a million! that is amazing :)
Best man voice 2016????
I found the idea I've been looking for for ages
It’s so relax listening to him
These are very cool!
By turning the power socket, which has the 12v adapter plugged into it, off :)
Your videos make me want to learn more about circuits! I only know the basics :(
*A million subs later...*
Brother you are amazing, i don't really have to many tools to build things but i love watching your videos! :)
2.31 Million subs!!! Wonderful channel, deserve a lot more!
i hae been racking my brain how i can make some cheap shelves instead of the aluminium channels, thank you so much!!!!
Yeah, now over 1,1 mln :) still enjoying the videos
I was about to say oh I need to do this! Then I remembered I did this like 3 weeks ago adding some under shelf lights for my desk.
Little did we know, 7 years later this madlad will DIY his own sun.
thats awesome now you have 100,000! congrats :)
very cool idea! it's not only cool, but i don't need to turn on my lamp if i want to work in the dark!
I just got a warm 5meter led strip for $6/£3.64 off of ebay on an auction, no one else even bid. There are tons of them going for pretty cheap on auctions and not much competition. This was in the US so it might be different in other countires but just wanted to let you guys know.
Hello from the future, you are now at 2.19M subscribers which is _quite_ well done mate :D
Awesome instructional! You gave me a great idea for my desk. Luckily, at 1:26- MDF vs Monitor didn't turn out like I thought it would.
Its April of the year 2021, and this video has nearly a million views and you're so close to 3 MILLION subscribers.
Excellent video.
"oops" hahah lol :D well done! keep up the good work!
This project is just screaming for a strip of RGB LEDs and an RGB controller.
Is it good in RGB Strips?
What an interesting monitor setup
