I made these RGB uplights for my office. I wanted to add more color to the space. After looking around online, none of the options on amazon fit the style I wanted. So instead of buying lights, I made these. They are walnut plywood with a lamp base inside. I used RGB bulbs that are Zigbee so they are controlled through our smart house. I am overall super happy with the design. We have a video on our channel that shows how they were made and how to get the files if you want to make these yourself
Yeah, the extra hardware has always seemed daunting to me (just because I had no idea what to use). But you lined out all the pieces needed and make it seem so simple.
I’ve got a Govee kit backlight for my living room. So much cheaper and simpler than the Philips hue solutions buuuut it is a Chinese company so who knows how interested they are in my data. But it’s pretty. I don’t have the kit with satellites.
