If you don't have the budget for Quasar Science LED lights but still want to have a sweet accent lighting setup for music videos AND also want to be a little different... then check these diy LED lights out!
NOTE - I ended up using 2 layers of wax paper to diffuse the LED strips better.
Lights bought from Amazon:
Govee 16.4Ft Waterproof RGB Light Strip Kits with Remote

Items bought from Lowe's:
Metalux White Bulb Guard (X4) ( They should be near the shop light bulbs either standing up on a side in the isle or on a lower shelf. Just ask a worker)

Elbow PVC Fitting (X4)

2-hole Pipe Strap (X4) (find size that fits elbow, I can't remember what size I got)

another easy product to use is PEX tubing, its used for water/plumbing applications, they have white, red and blue. it is frosted and you cant see the individual led's. most home improvement stores sell it in 4' 8' 12' and 25ft rolls. i got a roll trying to save a few bucks, but had to use a heat gun to straighten it (it was a pain) i recommend buying the pre curb straight pieces. i got the cheapest led light strip i could find, since i originally did this for xmas lights under the overhang on my house, but you can still see them 100ft away at the street due to the glow.

I did mine a little different. I put the wax paper inside the tube. I also used pieces of 1/2" PVC pipe, wrapped/stuck the LED strips on those and pushed them inside the waxed paper and tube. My individual LEDs show through a lot more than in this video, but another wrap or two of wax paper on the outside would take care of that. I actually like the effect that mine have, so I'm going to leave them as is.

This is pretty cool! I’m gathering all the supplies and I have most but Couple things you have the bulb guard with that black end cap and you were able to put it right into the pvc elbow fitting very easily and looked snug. I got the 1 1/4 inch pvc elbow fitting, did I get the wrong size bulb guard? Because I would need to remove the end cap and squeeze the plastic to get it into the pvc. Also you doubled up the 3/4 inch plywood what were the dimensions and how did you double it? 1 inch wood screw form the bottom? I hope you see this and can get back to me thanks!!!

@TaborJPhotoFilm 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear that your bulb guard isn’t fitting… I’m not near mine where I can recheck. I thought they were 1 1/4” but some bulb guards may vary in size, unfortunately. You may have to go try a larger pvc elbow to accommodate the bulb guard and then wrap tape around the bottom of guard until it fits snug in the elbow. As far as the base, 1” screws should be fine. I’d also recommend wood glue if you have some but it’s not that big of a deal if you don’t. Size wise, you can make whatever works for you… i think mine were 1’x 1’

Yes, the wax paper is all around the outside (messier and less professional but I couldn’t think of a way to adhere the led strip inside with the paper also). Each light is separate with its own power cord and control. The same remote works for all 4 lights. Then I just ran extension cords to them.

Definitely doable. I'm getting ready to mock up a couple like this so they can be controlled via DMX with the rest of the stage lighting at my church. You can find similar LED strips that do not have controllers/plugs already connected, and then you connect them to a DMX decoder via 4 or 5 channel wire (Black, Red, Green, Blue, [White]). I'm also going to try using the frost spray instead of wax/parchment paper, like others have suggested. You should be able to find lots of videos on the Tube for how to connect LED tape to DMX controllers. Best of luck!
