A better option is to use 2 wood sizes. one less wide than the other. when you glue them together you will have a hidden lip to put your LED light in. Imagine one wood half inch thick by 8 inch wide and the half inch thick and 7 inch wide. Join them together and you will have you lip to hied the LED light and you angle the light as you please.....
@c.s.herman860 I would guess there would be no need to Bevel it since you have a recessed wood lower hiding the strips. So you would have the perfect illumination upward without seeing the strip and it doesn't have to be 2x6 lumbar
Fun fact: 60leds/m is not a lot. It’s standard for any medium grade led light. You can find 120leds/m fairly easily and for cheaper than $90/5m. What you’re paying for with Govee is power supply and built in controls. You do pay more for plug and play tech but for a lot of people it’s worth it.
At least you’re honest in the half-assness. If you want to add a diffuser cut a groove in the angle you cut to recess the LED. Also ppl, your walls & floors may not be flat, it will show in the end result. Take the time to do the project right & use proper techniques to do a good job. i.e removing any old baseboards, scribing the bottom of the new baseboards, & adding shims behind the baseboards. Good video in theory. Practice makes perfect.
Your making assumptions.. first off where do you get his floor is not level? plus he did mention he is a dummy when it comes to woodworking.. don't be an asshat
Instead of having to cut the wood on an angle, I suggest using a taller and a shorter piece of wood stuck together. Then the LED can sit on top of the shorter piece and face directly up. So imagine these two letters are wood and the dot on the i is the LED: li This way you don't really need to get the angle right and can probably find pre-made pieces. Plus the light shines directly up which will probably extend up the wall better
Govee is truly the best! the 60/m is the best in the biz! I have it on my desk, and because of the diode density, I can even run cables over the strip, and you don't see a shadow on the wall behind.
Great video! I'm looking to shine color from my ceiling onto a wall painted flat black. I don't want to see the LED diodes so I'm wondering if there are LEDs that point or are cut at an angle. In other words, if I'm looking at that wall I just want to see the effect of the light, not the LED diodes. I'm wondering if i need to install a small piece of wood across the ceiling to physically hide the LED strip. Thoughts?
I learned that using a primer before painting finally gave a more artificial cheaper look. Not using primer will absorb the paint unevenly across the wood giving it a more natural look, showing the grain of the wood being much more beautiful.
So I just did our bedroom wall in these (16ft)panels and they stink! It’s been a week since they’ve been up. How long did it take for the smell to go away?
Hey, tried to explain the issue - it’s because the controller is so close to the outlet plug, you can’t really hide it unless the outlet is close to the 2x6!
Yeah that was one of the cons I mentioned in that review video. It can drive you a bit crazy if you stare at it - if you break it up with artwork or something, it's much better. Trying to figure out what I want to break up those lines with!
looks great however Gove have the purse customer service..strangely enough their products stop working just after warranty ends ..and i have had 3 of their products now..some better (& some more affordable) manufacturers out there in 2024 for sure!
Multiple coloured lights are THE most tacky thing I have ever witnessed in home decor People will look back at this generation in 20 years time and CRINGE at these choices Nice soft warm yellow lights are fine
This is going to come off harsh, but I sincerely mean this as constructive criticism. This was the first of your videos I stumbled upon, and it felt click-baity by saying this was a super easy DIY when it's extremely half-assed. A little extra effort in research and effort would've gone a long way with tying together the look and validating your knowledge. Outside of the woodworking issues, you even get the most basic technical information wrong. For instance, for RGBIC LEDs, the "IC" means "Integrated Circuit" and not "Individual Color." Also, 60 LED/m isn't high-end, it's pretty average, so maybe higher density was the better term for your point. Having seen this, the center board misalignment with the wood/LEDs in the background is highlighted constantly now. Tossing money ("sponsored?") at pre-fab slat walls, Govee LEDs, and high-end furniture, just to cut corners on the finishings to round out the look was disappointing to see. I'm especially surprised you even sanded it, because that's probably the most labor-intensive and time-consuming step out of everything required. Anyways, good luck!
Appreciate the feedback! So I’m not a DIY channel - I review chairs and home office tech. I run this entire thing by myself, so while I wish I had the time (and energy / expertise) to do a more perfect finish, I just didn’t have that. It’s also for a set, so I didn’t need it to be perfect. The idea here was to give people a general idea of how to do something like this without making it overly complicated for people who have 0 woodworking knowledge and don’t care to become wood working professionals or amass a ton of tools / materials that will never be used again. I’ve attempted a number of projects and realized that when people say something is easy or cheap, it’s easy or cheap IF you have the tools already and you use the paint / primer / varnish / stain / brushes multiple times. But if you use it once and never again, it costs hundred(s) of dollars to be used just once. So I wanted to give an actual idea of how to make it actually simple (at least what simple means to me). It’s been cool to see experts / DIYers / handy people comment here and recommend ways to make this concept better. Getting IC wrong is def on me. I don’t do teleprompters, I go off memory, so I def botched that one. I do believe IC means that the LED lights can be individually addressed though, which is probably why I thought it meant individual color. Regardless, I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. By nature I’m a cut twice measure once kinda guy, and it’s good to have reminders like this to slow down a bit and do better work.

How much did it cost in total ? I may have missed the breakdown ,. Is there any ?
Where is the link to the big light off to the right in the back and the tri-stand ? I have watched several videos looking for that link?
Thanks for the shoutout and great job on your build Dan!!
Thanks, Mike!!
Seriously this is amazing; I might even do this for my small office. Love your content.
Thank you!!!
You did a great job of explaining and straightforward without over elaborating and you have great video and audio quality. Keep it up!

let’s see your video
@@1monagale Video not needed, just a recomendation for those who would like to copy it.
Do you still bevel the edge on the shorter 7" piece? Or just shoot the LED strip straight upward
@c.s.herman860 I would guess there would be no need to Bevel it since you have a recessed wood lower hiding the strips. So you would have the perfect illumination upward without seeing the strip and it doesn't have to be 2x6 lumbar

This is very thoughtful, better than running the lights between the space.

holy damn..what an awesome and yet original video! Your room/office/space looks VERY profesional
Thank you!!!
What is the lamp in the corner you’re using??
Thanks man for making the video and keep up the great content!
Great video! I'm looking to shine color from my ceiling onto a wall painted flat black. I don't want to see the LED diodes so I'm wondering if there are LEDs that point or are cut at an angle.

Awesome video… to the point, excellent explanations and some great ideas.
Love this! Can’t wait to do this to my apartment!
So I just did our bedroom wall in these (16ft)panels and they stink! It’s been a week since they’ve been up. How long did it take for the smell to go away?
Looks GREAT! Very clean and I like the high trim painted black.
Ok I need to know where you got the tri-pod floor lamp?? I’ve been looking all over and can’t find it…and I’m def not paying for the FLOS
Is that panel made of wood aur wpc?
What kind of slippers are those
Seen on another vid. Put a 90 degree angle strip behind the board to let the led shine right up to the ceeling while hiding it much better
Nice job.
I would like to do this on the ceiling part, so the lights aim down.
What is the standing lamp and where you get it?
Looking for the same answer 👀
Looks like Flos Superloon
But that thing costs $4000 😅
instead of a 45 degree angle on that bottom trim you could have used a router to make a channel.
Yep second that
If your 2X6 is 2 " from the wall, can't you hide the bluetooth controller behind it?
Hey, tried to explain the issue - it’s because the controller is so close to the outlet plug, you can’t really hide it unless the outlet is close to the 2x6!
very insightfull😍
I actually like the 45 degree angle more that the light is only in that area makes it looking the way it does
Awesome video thanks
I appreciate you work and all the effort putting that background together... but I find the slate background really distracting
Yeah that was one of the cons I mentioned in that review video. It can drive you a bit crazy if you stare at it - if you break it up with artwork or something, it's much better. Trying to figure out what I want to break up those lines with!
@@Ahnestlywhat about having the wall out of focus? A bit of blur would make it not very distracting
@@Ayane13bI think they’re talking about looking at it irl. Not in a video
for a woodworking dummy the result is acceptable. not good but not bad either. but the concept and ideas are excellent👌
That is what I aim for. Cs make degrees baby~
Bro i was just about to comment about the bottom strip on the before vid lol thanks
Hi density LED's are 144/m, 60 is standard.
Am a beginner I want to learn from u
From far away, looks great. Up close with it sticking out so far, not so great. I’ll pass
looks great however Gove have the purse customer service..strangely enough their products stop working just after warranty ends ..and i have had 3 of their products now..some better (& some more affordable) manufacturers out there in 2024 for sure!
I would install it on the ceiling, then I do not need to clean it.
6:12 u lost the chance to give your wife the comeback "i'll give you some later 😌" LOL
Video format is like an ad 🤦♂️
Multiple coloured lights are THE most tacky thing I have ever witnessed in home decor
People will look back at this generation in 20 years time and CRINGE at these choices
Nice soft warm yellow lights are fine
Why put ads on a video you’re marketing
Upgrade the RUclips premium you won’t very see any ads bro

Long. Video. It nice u showed us a close up of how u did it Jesus
do people get paid in America for such shitty work ??? 😂 i wouldn’t pay for that in Europe. that looks like it was made by a beginner
Who’s getting paid? This is for my backdrop for my RUclips channel. Doesn’t have to be perfect. Just giving an idea for people to piggy back off of!
