How to Build a Custom LED Slatted Wall - Studio Tour (Part 3)

This is great thank you, this has been the inspiration for me to build my own wall. What did you put behind the slates? Is there felt or sound board or just painted drywall?

Thanks for the great work Where can I buy the Led diffusers..??

So cool :) what a long work

cool idea and video. It took a lot of work but was worth it.

Nice wall, Two questions. So the slatted are 1 1/2 by 3/4 with 3/4 for spacers? And you cut them out from wood boards?

Incredible work.....being devoid of DIY skills, you lost me a bit half way through but if you ever want a holiday in the UK and want to build me one of these for my observatory then look me up!! 😁

I can not explain how fast I would give up if I tried to make this

A year later now after watching this the first time I’m finally building the wall love this dude and thank you for the led tips. The wood I’m ok with but the led, powered injection, etc is definitely what I need tips on

Is the link for parts workings for anybody else?

Wow- ridiculously incredible - nice work!!

How are the seperate strips conencted to the controller board? are they all spliced in to the same data wire coming from 1 pin ?

Talk about a long winded way of doing such a simple task, and such uneven spacings between slats

wow!!!

I love the details of this video. Fantastic job!

The problem you had was because of Murphy's law. I'm glad you were able to solve it! I'm renovating a room here to use as a studio and I really liked your approach. Mine will be modest, especially because in Brazil we don't have everything you used (there's no IKEA here for example) and the things we have are very expensive (double or triple the cost).

Finished product and the video production both look great!

When selecting wire gauge, it’s not about how much power they will let through, it’s about how much the wire can handle at safe temperatures. Using a smaller gauge wire than needed can result in melting / starting a fire.

Definitely research the amount of power you are sending, and for what distance when selecting wire for a project. No LED slatted wall is worth burning your house down.

Is he saying "slated" instead of "slatted"?

I've got a 25 foot wall I'd love to do this to, if you ever find yourself in PA :)

Awesome video though, the wall looks great.

weird how thorough the tutuorial is, but can't pronounce "slatted" or "slated" depending on the different spelling of the word in the vid title and the linked website.

This is a great result! Very nice!

This project inspired me to do my own slatted wall. Thanks for this great video

This is Dope i did the same wall but twice the size i was just planning on doing a rope light on the top and on the bottom my wall is 12 feet tall and 35 ft long, it looks bad ass but now i am thinking i need to do this. I am building out my office and i have gone pretty far with it i am now on my 3rd contractor and finally doing finishing touches which is lighting and i am having a very hard time finding anyone with real knowledge about LED rope lights and how they can be connected with out shorting or becoming very dim. I guess my question is are you available to come do the lighting at my building i am doing alot of lighting i think you would enjoy this project. I have never reached out like this but you seem to know everything i want to know and do with my lighting. Thank you

With the power issue, i would run one adaptor and no injection. What the best option is to use a junction box, so rather than daisy chaining them with varying cable thickness you would run the power to a central position and have a led junction box where you have have upto 10 4 pin connections so your cables are of a simular lengths but mainly they receive equal power to each strip. Ive previously done this with a pure white setup (which is the most power intensive) but was rgbw strip for a customer. An for the data cable run that into a large wago box and back to the controller. Or run a larger power supply with 2 outlets from the center and daisy chain them outward from the central position

Wow! Amazing diy wall🔥
Note: you could split data if you want mirrored functionality of a length of leds

Slaited?

Nice work. But kiln dried then let sit for 2 days in garage. Sand with a plug in sander and dont use cheap sandpaper.

You'd love metric system

Looks nice!! a friend of mine did something similar but the LEDs go all the way up/down the wall. I’ll have a tour on my channel tomorrow

What a video!

you had me at "This is a slatted wall...." New subscriber here.....

How did you prepare the wall behind the slats? Did you use it as a noise/echo control mechanism, too?

Wow. Found this just now, and am amazed by the amount of work and problem solving. End product looks killer. It´s been two years. What would you change (if any) looking back?

Go big or go home boy. Yes.

I wonder what would happen if you mounted the power and controllers in the middle instead of the right or left?

Could I fly you out to do a wall like this for me ?

Instead of a raspberry pie, take a look at an ESP 32 with WLED

Slick Rick 👍

Slate != Slatt

I just need to know where you got that shirt from, please?

Great directions.

great information

Really cool idea but the inconsistency in the spacing between the slats would drive me up a wall

Tosh show😊

Great video

You just need a small resistor in the beginning of the data line, to get rid of that erratic behavior when you have that much distance between the controller and the first strip. I looked up why a long time ago, and it's super confusing, BUT I promise it works!

As European i am watching all those DIY and the measurements it would of be so much easier if they worked with centimeters instead of inches way easier to mesure and do math

I wanna do this but the wall I would need it on has a door lol
