The wall looks great, but unless I'm mistaken, I think you have an upgrade to make: Run two curved lines of light along the top of the bridge?

[dusky hearth]

No mone n not time 😔💔

[storm thistle]

[south heart]

Then go work then buy coner led profile

[south heart]

i don’t get why you bought a whole ass 10 meter strip, or however long that is, and put it on all three walls. just get multiple shorter ones, like 1m 144/m or 60/m. looks way better since you can hide them behind shelves for example, or under or over your wardrobe. like i’ve done.

[dusky hearth]

i dont have such places where i could hide them so i decided to light up the whole room

[dusky hearth]

im 17

no job

my room isnt fancy

it's like really basic if you'd look outside the picture

my first thought was actually HIDDING dem LED's somehow, but it just was too much of a hastle and if I could earn money I'd make the room fancy with LED's HIDDEN from the eye 👀

i was doing ma best and personally I think it worked out great

[south heart]

yuh were the same twin

im also kina at your point. 17 too, empty ahh room with barely any furniture. im thinking of getting floating shelves. they seem nice

[south heart]

how much did that strip actually cost you? is it 60leds\m

[dusky hearth]

uhh i spent 50$ and 20$ for psu + 5$ on esp

i bought like 60/m for 5 euro

[south heart]

say what 😳

[dusky hearth]

I am thinking of moving out of parents so this was more of a like hobby

[dusky hearth]

wat

those are ws2815

i got it from btf-lighting

[south heart]

oh, why didnt you go for the ws2812b

[south heart]

they are expensive ash. i bought a 1m 144\m ws2812b for like 5$

[dusky hearth]

i don kno tbh i think it was because of power injection

[south heart]

on aliexpress

[south heart]

i asume you bought a 12v or 24v

[dusky hearth]

12V

ws2812b is 5v

[south heart]

how many amps

[south heart]

they come in 12 too

12v

how many watts is ur psu

[dusky hearth]

uhhhh

i think it is 180 watts

ion remember looking at amps

but the psu was fit for leds

i bought 200 watt psu and so leds use up 180watts

[south heart]

so 15 amps. that okay i guess

[dusky hearth]

ye

it lights up stuff pretty well

[south heart]

does it yellow at full brightness when white is on_

[dusky hearth]

nuh

yellow?

[south heart]

yea, the long strips go yellow at the end if the amps are too low

[dusky hearth]

nah

it is good

[south heart]

yuh

[dusky hearth]

i mean it is good for me

[south heart]
