im a electrician and had to install a outlet up high on a wall for this nanoleaf product. when the guy told me they spent over $500 with shipping for the setup i was blown away. What you just DIY'ed is basically what they are at their core and worth nothing close to that price tag. Almost ridiculous as their $1500 cloud light but thats just rich people wasting money. I like your DIY. If i get time ill be building one for my bedroom but ill get cutable led strip lights so i can solder a extension to the low voltage side to do more panels attached to my platform bed frame and put a small DC toggle switch inline with the led driver to switch the project on and off from my nightstand. Really impressive job though, keep it up.

@@isaacscopes5416 its not that hard and relatively safe being low voltage DC current. Basically just cut the wires after the LED driver that plug into the strip lighting and install a DC toggle switch (best ones will light up when on for night time and even better if you can drill a hole into something like your bedframe for instance to set the switch into it to hide all the wiring and give a finished look) which will just take the 12v + wire, 12v - wire from the LED driver and then the 12v + going to the strip lights and you solder or splice in shrink the 12v - directly to the same 12v - as the LED driver because you dont need the 12v- switched at all. From there you can splice into the 12v + and 12v- to extend it to other led strips but keep in mind that if you add too many the wattage draw will increase and there will be a point when you need to upsize the LED driver feeding the DC circuit. The good thing is you can hide small DC wires easily and if there is control wires as well then you just need to splice those back together where the switch is located to let the signal continue. Keep in mind the switch will simply let you turn them on and off by make the remote always be on but color changes or mode changes will need to be done via the remote still.

That's really smart - all the way through I was scratching my head wondering how you could do this without programing. I even suspected you were going to end up with each triangle a fixed colour! However I will offer you this tip: if you want to save money, do not buy Apple monitors!

Thats an amazing way to create the same effect, especially without 3D printing and programming. Great work 👏

Love that you didnt give up on what you wanted diy. Can be hard and time consuming but in the end it makes you feel so much better about the item. For two reasons first is its something you wanted and now have and second you did it yourself with your own mind and hands you made something. in the end it always pays off cheers

Ok, that is sick and the best DIY I have seen, surprised to see that you don't have more subscribers.Keep up the great work

u probably glued LEDs on its representative sides (LEFT side has LEDs that are glued towards the right side) that is why it looks like a hotspot on each side, if you u get what I mean.. I'd try gluing them towards the wall / so they shine to the white background so the white background can reflect them back and it'd probably look more natural, or with a degree, but that'd take a bit more time to engineer and maybe usage of 3D printing to realize ORRR you could make a bit hallow sides and add a few mm in height plastic glass over so it distributes light better and doesnt show each individual LED when you look from a different corner

Hey man. This is totally awesome, not because it the most beautiful thing in the world or anything, it is because you figured out a way and didn't give up. So the micro chip programming is not a hard task. It is an Esp8266 or esp32, which is super cheap and there is a ton of tutorials about how to upload code. Also it is easy to connect that to a Addressable LED ( the one you have is the same with a controller and some presets. The advantage of Eps is ut has wifi and you can control it from anywhere. I had this type of set up but i need to manually turm off and on this thing and it became a hassle turning this off when i go to bed.

This looks absolutely wonderful! These are the BEST DIY Nanoleaf on KZread my friend :)

Props to your mom for supporting your project! And nice work!

Tbh if your gonna invest this much time into a project like this, it’s so worth it to learn the basics of arduino programming. I know he said that his country doesn’t sell the needed microprocessor(most likely an arduino) but for anyone else, once you get started with the basics, you can take those skills really far without having to learn more complicated things. If you do a lot of projects similar to this, having basic programming skills can be an extremely useful tool.

This is probably the easiest tutorial I've seen for a Nanoleaf Lamp! Good job :)

Looks great! Very informative! From watching your video I got inspired to probably make my own, but nevertheless, I must point out some important points I noticed for those that wish to duplicate this feat. First and foremost I would advise to think up of an design beforehand, and then cut the whole panel from one large piece or maybe 2 or 3 if you want some flexibility / easy cutting/ or go for a wall shift, but making 15 or more individual pieces is clearly overkill, doing this would waste a lot on time and add only drawbacks as it lacks strength, also if you glue everything together you cant change the layout anyway, furthermore, having the front glass from 1 piece adds to its strength and makes it easier to create triangle patterns on its back already with openings for the LED strip, saving you even more time. What you should not forget to do, is to create triangle sectors on the back to block the light from bleeding over from one sector to the next. probably some thick white cardboard should be enough to do the trick and is more user friendly to string around with the led strip, this is, of course, only going to work if you create a strong enough outline around the whole panel to support the whole thing when it hangs on the wall. Also to achieve the cleanest look for your finished product, try as best as you can to block light from bleeding on the wall behind it, around the sides, and between each sector. Additionally before permanently gluing the LED strip, test how it ends up looking with some temporary fixture to know if it's turning out the way you envisioned it to be (another point why 1 piece of front glass would be better, as it's easier to prop it up on its side to have a quick look. Hope this helps someone.

HAH! The power of ingenuity. Finally a cheap yet beautiful diy for the budget decorator. Good work man! Gonna try this one
