Adding Lights to the xTool Portable Enclosure

After working with the xTool enclosure for a while, I found the interior to be lacking in lights, so on this week's show, I add my own after market lighting to the interior of the enclosure. I hope you enjoy the show.

Hi Kenny, those led strips certainly come in handy, thanks for showing Kenny.

They sure do Philip. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

That’s brilliant wrapping the solder around, man I wish I would have thought of that one. I don’t solder wire much these days, but I’m going to remember that one

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

It works like a charm Randy and it also ensures that solder is melting in on all sides. No chance of missing spots when you wrap it like that. Thanks for tuning in this week.

That is pretty cool! That should really help you a lot. That was a cool trick with the solder. Take care!

Glad that you liked it Michael. Thanks for tuning in this week.

Great tutorial Kenny, I missed the video that you posted before that demonstrated how to solder LEDs. and I find the part about tinning the wire as prepping great information. I have never been satisfied with my attempts to use solder connections. I am confident that this will help me.

I hope it does help you Steve. Good luck with your soldering and thanks for tuning in.

Kenny, nice addition to the enclosure. I can only imagine that with the enclosure being black that in poor light the inside is darker than the inside of a cow. Looking forward to seeing a project where you use up some the excess LEDs.

I recently found a power adapter that was the proper wattage and output for the LED strips Paul so I have been thinking about what to make with them. If I ever do some laser engraving inside a cow, at least I know I will be able to light it up. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave your comment. It's very much appreciated.

You're very welcome. I hope you found it useful. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

Aren't LED strips fantastic ... so many uses ... I'd have put the LED control on the outside, so that you could adjust the brightness without having to lift the lid.
Doesn't matter the length of the video or whether it has been done before, they may not have seen it before and now have 👍

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks for the kind words Barry. To be honest, I never adjust the brightness of these. I always have them on the highest setting to give me the most light in the enclosure but I like your accessibility to the controls idea. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your thoughts.
