    Just going to throw my two cents in here! I made some pretty big versions of these for lighting our videos. When soldering on many rows of LED strips I found it much easier not to precut short wires. I found soldering to the strip, then the main wire, then cutting it was a lot easier and way less fiddly -R

    Very innovative. I really appreciate sharing your ideas with the DIY community. About this particular project, I would suggest covering the led terminals and wiring to improve user experience and safety. Although it's merely 12 V DC, there is a chance for a short-circuit. Also, concealing the wires at the back with a thin sheet of wood of the same texture would be nice to have.
