I want to make a door to infinity sculpture. So I'm going to fit one-way glass, a giant mirror and LEDs into a door frame and mount it on my apartment wall, Outrageous DIY style. Can I solder the rope lights to turn on with a switch when the door opens? Will the sculpture agree with me and stay in the perfect spot on the wall to use my previously placed doorstop? Or will I waste 11 days on a fail?

for anyone else working with LEDs like those, the colours are usually: Black - shared + voltage (12 or 24), Red - the ground for the red leds, Green - the ground for the green leds, Blue - the ground for the blue leds. meaning you can switch all of them off by using a relay or one of those door switches on just the black wire

Looks like you bought the door in the Milwork department at Home Depot. Next time you are trying a project like this, ask the Milwork associate for assistance. They could have explained a Passive door handle (1 side only), the R/O measurement for installing the door, why you should not remove the black plug that keeps the door frame secure, etc. These guys & girls are my go to on all projects because they are usually retired with a huge base knowledge on several departments.

Instead of cutting the molding on the ground why didn't you just cut off some of the backs of the door frame to match the molding so that it it's flush around the molding that way you could have kept the molding intact especially if you're in an apartment and then the door would still be flush to the wall and the molding.

Each color represents a different positive wire in the led lineup. The grounds of each of the relays can be linked together and then each one of the colored wires can be soldered to each relay and the ground linked to one side of the reed switch and the other end back through to the last relay. That way you only need 1 reed switch and 3 relays.

For the tack strips on your rug frame try using a pool noodle. You could probably even cut it into fourths (long ways) to not need as many to cover your jumbo frame. It only needs to be thick enough to cover the tacks plus a little cushion. That way no more accidental injuries just by walking by it. Hope this helps

@Why24244 Ай бұрын

A little bit of input for future projects like this you can use a couple of dots of decorators caulk in various places to stop it sliding out of the rails/ track and if you use ratchet straps it would hold the frame together whilst you do the work. Hope it helps

So, heads up from someone who works in Electrical, recessed door switch. It's less than $20, a single piece, you do need to need to make the hole on hinge side but it's just an on off switch so you can wire your LEDs power leg after the switch and the converter power in before it to hide it outside of the doorway (possibly behind it) and don't need the door to look any more bulky than normal. Now also from my experience in home building, they make a 1way door handle. No modifications needed, it's used for small hall closets.

To prevent the mirror from constantly popping out of place requires the lower end of the door frame staying together. A thin strand or two of wire stretched across the bottom frame opening, held in place by screws, would have made your life much easier. Wire would totally disappear into the carpet when door positioned in place, and make this video less entertaining to watch. I like the infinity effect results. I have some leftover adhesive LED light strips from a party bus project. Think I'll try making a "door" for the room the grand kids stay in when visiting. Only I'll cut the sheet rock, frame the doorway into the wall for a more realistic interior door look. Maybe try to make it so the whole door ( trim, frame, mirrors and lights) can open as a door, revealing an actual hidden room beyond. See how long it takes the little ones to discover the hidden room, secret treasures that will be waiting within. And it will all be your fault for getting my imagination shifted into this direction.

you could have hot glued the plexiglass into the frame to keep it in place, or perhaps a spray adhesive. General rule of not wanting things to move is to make them not move. Clear packing tape may have also worked to keep the entire thing rigid until you moved the frame into the final location. Sweet door though. Cool idea I might put in my house.
