Wood portion....

Blue stain (aka beetle kill) pine 1x4 (plus 1 piece of 1x6 T&G used to build the control box) wood and oak 3/8 round to make dowels.

Lighting portion....

WS2812b LEDs, at each corner (or from one intersection to another) cut, wire run and resoldered.... retained in aluminum channels cut/ground to fit with covers.

Electrical......

50w 10A 5v converter and a (currently until I can resolve the arduino overly-simple microphone response) Amazon music reactive / RF remote LED controller.


Light can be just about any color, LEDs are individually assignable, so each of the ~400 LEDs can be any color. Works on the switch and remembers the previous setting, and works through the RF remote.

Only fasteners are the 3/8" thread from the electrical box, the wire rope, and the eyelets. Everything else is wood glue/specialty glue.

so which kelvin do you photosynthesize best at?
 
Ha....

The photo was just a random color the wife picked. We keep it around 3000k for most uses. Our son likes to play with the sound reactions.... yelling, and just short of epilepsy inducing....
