DIY How to Install Cabinet Accent LED Lighting | MiLight LED Controller
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- One of the last steps to finishing the bar area was to run all of the accent cabinet LED lighting. MiLight LED products were used with 24v LED strips to create an awesome accent lighting effect that can easily be changed. Hopefully this will help if you are looking to tackle a similar project!

Dude got skillz! For me the hard part is not all the craftsman skills, it is envisioning and designing it while looking at a blank wall. I just get overwhelmed by the zillion design choices and have a hard time coming up with something that fits the room and looks coherent. That's just art-- harder to learn than using tools. This bar looks great though!
Thanks man! I had some time to look at different designs and bars to come up with this one. We were very happy with the way it turned out.
This bar is sweet!!! You did an awesome job. I’m in the process of finishing my basement and I’m putting a bar down there and your bar is almost exactly how I envisioned mine. Thanks for sharing this video.
Good video but missing more instructions. Would have been great to see how you ran the wires and connected with the island. Or connecting everything and installing the black box.
Love the bonus weight!
Absolutely Amazing... you should ass another led to lower center bottle area.
Thanks man. We actually sold the place a few months ago...
Great job mate, looking forward to getting my bar up and running. 👍
Aww dude you fucking killed it bro. Phenomenal finish. Looks amazing
Great looking bar. Lighting adds the perfect touch
Thank you Andreas!
Thank you! This was a great tutorial with all the specifics I need to set up my kitchen. Your space looks great!
Very nice workmanship!!
That is so awesome! I'm totally stealing this idea! As I have with many of your tricks lol!
Haha that's what they are there for! Steal away!
Really nice setup and great video, now you have me thinking of building a bar/Home theater in my basement.
Not to sway your decision, but.... Do it!! It's been so nice having this space in our home. Even though the theater area isn't an enclosed room by itself, it makes movies and sports so much more immersive. Thanks for the comment 😁
You are really smart bro 👍
Thanx 😘
super, Thanks for sharing the material list
That mokey shoulder! looks awesome, I hope to do some similar stuff :)
Thanks man! Yea I wasn't a huge fan of that monkey shoulder to be honest. Tasted very medicinal to me. Good luck on your bar!
Tremendous work! Great setup - wish I was handy to do this for my small bar space
Thank you sir. Adding leds isn't too hard, you could get the hang of soldering in an hour or less. Hiding wires is the worst part! It'd be a pretty cheap project if you wanted to take a stab 😉 have a good one!
Love that bar great job
u done an amazing job. I'm n the process of doing this to my Shelves in my gaming room for my pop characters & my Dragonball Z characters
Best I have seen yet, great job
Thanks Mark
What do you think of the lights? Which color looks best? Let me know!
warm color
Rino Rino that's our favorite as well. It's fun with all the different colors, and will be cool for parties (sports team colors, St. Patty's, Christmas...) but the warm white dimmed down is our go to.
DIALED IN! Looks great.... How did you do the zone for the pendants to get color changing lights????? THANKS
Those are just bulbs from the milight company that screw in like normal bulbs. When the switch on the wall is turned on, they can be controlled by the remote or phone app. Thanks man 🤜🏼🤛🏼
@@LifeofBliss THANK YOU SO MUCH
Many thanks for your tutorial. Tremendous help!!
Way cool. This will truly be very helpful to me
Glad it helped Greg!
Thank You! Gave me some good ideas
I'm glad I stumbled on to your channel, nice job! The little guy looks like he's going to into the weights too huh?!
Thanks man! Ha one day! He's working on his "pull ups" now... walking soon!
Nice install,
Great video and a lot of useful information for my kitchen cabinet project. What would you do differently if you were to do it in 2022 (product selections, etc.)?
Thanks man. Honestly I was really happy with the MiLight products. They have some updated ones now that work with Amazon Alexa or Google if that's your thing. But their remotes are RF and are miles better than the credit card remote style that has to be pointing at an IR sensor. Plus with the phone app, super easy to use. There are some other bigger name brands out there, but building your own kits from scratch like this with their products were very cost effective. No regrets and I'll be doing the same in my new house when the time comes
Awesome install!! Maybe add some to the toe kick on the base cabinets?
Thanks! I might... pretty happy with how it looks, but it is expandable. I'll thinks about it
I wonder how you control the lights under the counter and in the cabinet all together while they are separate?
looks awesome, great video
How did you set it up to have each light work with different colors and they was all linked together
With the MiLight controller and receivers
Great video! Thanks. A couple questions.
1) For each zone, you need to purchase a power adaptor and a 4-zone controller receiver box?
2) can you use the WiFi controller and the remote both with the same setup? Are you using the remote and WiFi with your setup?
1. Correct. Power supply and led controller for each zone.
2. Yes. There are a few more options with the wifi app on your phone. It's nice if you can't find the remote lol
@@LifeofBliss thanks for the reply. I ordered everything a couple days ago. I’m excited to get it in my hands and see how it all works.
@@LifeofBliss great video. Learned a ton. But confused about your answer. But what else is new, I'm always confused. Why would you have a four zone controller if you are only controlling one zone per controller? Would one remote work with each of your three controllers for your three zones? Thanks again.
Their terminology is kind of confusing... each zone needs a "controller", or a box that the leds plug into. You can control up to 4 "controllers" or zones with 1 remote. So, I had I remote that controlled 4 zones. Hope that helped
Great job!
Awesome job!!!
Looking to do the same thing to a humidor… just curious how is the heat output on these?
Next to nothing if they aren't on full blast. Even then, it's extremely minimal. I would put them in my humidor if it were larger and had glass
Excellent job! I'm doing something similar to yours. I was planning on running the strip lights around the cabinets in an upside down U shape but I noticed that you run it vertical. Is there a reason to run it vertical? It will be too much light if I run it upside down U?
No as long as you can make the turns without the light strip being visible, should be fine. I didn't have much room up top to hide a strip
@@LifeofBliss Thank you for your reply
Looks really good, congratulations on a great job. I am just finishing my wet bar and following your video for the accent lighting. Quick question do you need a separate power supply and controller for each zone ? Thanks
Thanks! Each zone will need a power supply and controller. The light bulbs do not, they just screw in a normal bulb socket and they are good to go, but the strips will. Good luck getting yours going!
@@LifeofBliss Thanks that really helps, I will send you a link to the finished project, if I ever get it finished. Cheers
There you Go !! Hope you Like it ...ruclips.net/video/QIN21v-Oj4o/видео.html
Solid Work
Great video! How deep of a channel did you make for the tape and acrylic? How thick are the wood shelves? Thank you!
I didn't measure exactly, I just set the bit to the correct depth to make the acrylic flush and the lights not hit the acrylic. All the wood was 3/4 inch thick. Thanks!
I really like the hanging lights. Do you have a link for them?
Should be in the description. They are milight bulbs though
What bulbs did you use for your light pendants? Your link in the description appears to direct to Amazon for the controller. Thanks!
Yea these companies keep changing their product links... my orders page links me to the same. Here is a link to the bulbs. There are a few other styles that work with the MiLight controller as well. amzn.to/2MN67pj
Very Cool!
Great stuff! If the LED strips have specific cut points, how were you able to get the exact length you needed for each run?
Its like every 6 inches or so, so it was approximately the right length. Their bright enough that going a little shorter didn't matter
Damn so beatefull bar i want one in my home to but i had to small apartment
Where did you get the acrylic (plexiglass?) strips? Did you buy a sheet and cut them to size? Or did you buy pre-cut strips? Great job on this!
I bought a panel long enough for my space then cut it down to size on a table saw. From home depot. Thanks Jason!
Hi I'm looking to set my bar at home in a similar style as you did in the video. Looking to purchase rgbw led I'm wondering how u get the white on ur strips. Does the remote have a white button dedicated or do u get the white by combining rgb colors. Thank you
There is a separate white led and a function on the remote to turn those on. I have links for the led strips and controller in the description
what are the brand and model number of the 2 upper cabinets?
These were all custom made by a local company
So you just needed one power supply for 3 zone controllers?
Negative. Each controller needs a power supply. You can assign multiple controllers to one zone though. For example, if you had 3 separate power supplies and controllers in 3 different rooms, you could assign each of the controllers to zone 1 and they would all be in sync. As in the same, not the band...
@@LifeofBliss Good to know. Thank you, bro. Another question, have you had any problems with the led lights, mi lights or products you used for the lighting since you uploaded this video?
do you just sync the remote to the different receivers or something? If the battery in the remote run out do you have to re-sync again if so?
Yea you'll need a control box for each zone (up to 4). You don't need to reprogram if batteries run out
Hi. I like your videos. I have a question. If someone wanna shadow you, what should he do? Where are you located?
Thanks man. That isn't really a possibility. I just do projects when I have time, this sort of stuff if not my full time job. A lot of late nights and weekends working on stuff
That looks incredible! Just had two questions. How are the lights holding up today? I am considering tape lights for my builtins, but have seen reviews that they don't hold up over time. Also, how did you get the lights under the countertop to sync up with the others? Is it somehow hardwired to the others, or is it all done via wifi and the app?
Thanks! Everything is holding up great. Added a few more zones since then that you can see in my diy screen build video if you're interested. All the solder joints have held up and no LEDs have given out. The Milight system has multiple zones so you can either control them separately or sync them all. Each zone requires a separate controller that you can control with the remote. I have 1 controller for the cabinet lights, another for under the counters (some behind my day board are wired in there as well), another controller for the lights behind the projector screen. The pendant lights are on another zone. They just run off the wall switch power, no separate controller needed.
@@LifeofBliss I sent you an email asking a few questions. Does this setup work with harmony by chance? Can you control with google?
@@matthalle2071 just sent you an email! I don't believe these will work with other programs, but I really don't know
Thanks for this video sir. Cleared out a few of my questions.
How long was your LED strip? I have heard/read that going over 16.4 ft will affect on voltage and power, etc. Any inputs abut this?
Glad it helped man.
That's actually why I went with the 24v setup to decrease any chances of that happening. The whole bar took a little over 1 of the 16 ft strips. There's probably another 15+ feet of extension wire there as well and no voltage issues. My projector screen used over 20 ft of lights and probably 8 ft of extension wire. Again no issues. When testing, I can say that 32.8 ft of leds had no dimming issues at all before I cut the strips down. You should easily be able to run 2 full strips if not more with no issues
Life of Bliss do you have a link to the lights you used?
Should have links to everything I used in the video description Cliff 👍
Nice!
Hey!! You didn't show us how to mount the TV up there. It just appears out of nowhere 😮 On a serious note, how did you get your pendant lights to match? Was it special light bulbs added to match or are the strips inside the lights too?
Figured the tv wasn't as big of deal to show 😉 The pendant lights are Wi-Fi lights from the same company Milight. Everything is housed in the bulb and it just twists in like a normal bulb and runs off the wall switch power. Remote links with them the same as the strip lights. We gotta get you set up this winter!
So you had to run the wires during the framing and drywall stage or it will work off the regular 110 in the wall?
Works off of the regular 110 wall power. You can take out any incandescent bulb from, say, a lamp and screw on the these in and have remote power over the lighting. Pretty cool stuff
nice!!
How did you get the lights on the bar connected as a zone on your setup? Do you have a controller bridge for it?
Sorry I didn't go over that part very well... The back wall lights and the lights under the bar top each have their own separate controller/power source they are plugged into. A remote can control up to 4 zones and is programmed to each zone by plugging in the lights and hitting the power button for a zone (1, 2, 3, or 4) on the remote within 3 seconds. The pendant lights are wireless without a control module and just need the power from the wall switch to operate. Hope that helps, let me know if not!
nice bro
how did you get the pendant lights to work with the LED controller?
They are from the same company, Milight. You should be able to find the links in the description to them. The wall switch stays on and you control the colors and the on/off function with the remote
Ok!! How did you get the baby to stay up there for 24hrs ,lol😁
😂 just scattered some food up there, he was pretty content!
Wait you didn’t mention anything about the hanging lights over too what lights are those
Those are the 6 watt Milight bulbs linked in the description. They are regular screw in bulbs that connect to the Milight remote
Thanks
What kind of pendant light did you use?
It was called a Cheyanne pendant light. I tried to find a link for you Steve but it looks like it's discontinued. You can Google the name to find pics but no luck finding it to buy... if you find them, they were about $100 each. We love them, the wood look matched perfect for the look we were going for
Thumbs up for the baby weight
Great video thanks
BTW
Alcohol ruins lives and you got a child.....
Crazy in a bottle, don't do it.
Why can't you learn to have fun without substances?
I did.
Take care
Thanks Jim. Not sure why you felt the need to comment on the alcohol when you know nothing about me, but hey, glad you're having fun without.
Great job!
