    Nice work there, a tip for LED strips though is solder the positives at one end of the strips, and then the negatives at the other, this evens out any voltage drop issues that happen when everything is done at one point (where the far end LEDs are visibly duller than the ones nearest to the power input)... :)

    A couple of suggestions, if you don't want LED hot spots you could exchange them for COB LED strips. For the wiring you could use an intruder door loop. Or use each hinge for each power rail. For the ultimate LED control use addressable LEDs this way you can control the brightness and color and brightness of each LED, this way the water could be blue but the buildings white for example . Check out a project called WLED.

    Everybody seems to focus on LEDs but the door by itself is just beautiful without all these lights. Probably I would have used panel LED (like the square ones for ceiling, some are multi colors as well) to avoid spots. But really... who cares about these spots ? It's just unique, elegant. Bravo.

    Maybe a single led strip around the edge, instead of facing out behind the mirror, facing across the door towards each other? No hot spots... Just a thought 🤔 The reflection, 3 stops less of light, that is the artist in you. Cool build. Keep up the good work 👍

    The other reason for no spots with a rear-lit TV is the LEDs have lenses which fire the light out sideways directly onto the rear deflector which then illuminates the diffusers on the back of the LCD panel, I tried converting my uncle's old CCFL-backlit TV to LED, and even with the LCD's diffusion, it's "spotty", kind of usable, but looks rubbish for anything other than just using as a crap monitor or something...

    Hi Yorkshire. Door was excellent but the issue of hot spots of the leds is best cured by salvaging frenel lens and obscure panels from scrap LED TV. The fresnel speads the light and the obscure softens it...thats why tvs have them. I've used them in several projects and the results are great.... Thought I'd mention it incase you have future projects using leds.

    Don't be too disheartened by the hotspots. I work with LED's in TV lighting - our custom arrays on the LED's all have lenses and then we use other materials to control the quality of light within the fixture, to ensure the business end gives a nice even wash on camera. It's somewhat of an artform I can assure you.

    Might be late to the Comments section about this but for future projects & reference, you’d be shocked to know that basic printer paper lined on the back of the mirror would be THE solution to diffusing the LED light evenly. Maybe even something thinner like tissue paper but that’s admittedly unconfirmed speculation Plain white printer paper; This is what I do in my smaller LED displays for music toys & gadgets It’s cost effective, but you’d also be better getting a paper roll instead of individual sheets of printer paper (to avoid seeing tape marks shining thru) Everything else looks truly great Awesome videos & projects, my man.
