DIY LED Light Box - Color Changing Display tutorial

Light boxes (aka light panels) have many uses including decoration, treatment for seasonal effective disorder, poster displays, viewing X-rays, providing studio light and as a tracing aid for drawing and other art projects. While this video covers my build for a decoration or colorful display I have also tested it out for many of the other purposes I just mentioned too! This tutorial shows all the steps needed to create an awesome light box using 3 main parts that are easy to find. The finished project is a color changing light box that can be dimmed, set for one of 16 colors or allowed to run in one of the 4 available modes including strobe! To be honest, I made this for my kids to have in a playroom (and they do LOVE it) but I am having a hard time letting it leave my office (LOL).

Very cool video. There is definately something weird going on with these "wanna be friends" comments like the "Ted" channel I mentioned to you before. I haven't really done much research yet, but my thought is that these are some kind of bots or scams, so just be extra careful if you decide to comment or visit their pages. Pretty sure there's a least something not quite kosher about these. Take care and be safe.

Thanks so much for the words of wisdom. I have noticed that these types of comments have increased on some different sites and they usually come from a person/site that makes music or other digital content. On another site I saw comments that said "Wanna be friends" followed by "I'll but to you and like your vids if you'll do the same." So... guess that is one definition of RUclips friends. LOL. Thanks for continuing to watch and comment!! Hope you are staying safe, healthy and happy my friend.

Dialed In DIY Those ”wanna be friends” comments are scams. These are bots and If you put their music in your video they will claim revenue

@@Tom-oz8it I figured it was something like that.

@@Tom-oz8it Thanks so much... I did notice that every time one of those pops up it is from someone who has a music site. I appreciate the feedback!
