COB LED Lighting for my Son's Room

About a month ago I upgraded the lighting in my son’s bedroom to a COB LED strip.

Basically my wife wanted ambient light in the room without a single light source. After thinking a bit, I thought it might be cool to make it so there’s light coming from every direction. Putting a light strip along the corner between the ceiling and the wall seemed to fit the bill.

Thirty years ago in the 90s when I was growing up this wasn’t feasible. Nowadays this can be done with something known as chip-on-board LED strips. The strip I ended up buying was this 32.8 foot-long Natural White 4000K COB LED strip by BTF-LIGHTING. It didn’t come with a power supply, so I had to buy one, too - it needed this 24V 5A 120W power supply. The light ended up being so bright I needed to by this dimmer a well.

Everything connected super easy - it’s simply plug-n-play. The strip itself has a sticker back, so I only had to make sure the wall and ceiling was clean and clear of any cob webs and spiders.

I hid the cord going up along the wall with this cord hider, and bought this table to set the power supply on. The cord hider has the same sticker back as the LED strip, so it also easily stuck to the wall.

Here’s a close up of the light strip on, but at minimum brightness:

And here’s a little video I created showing the light strip:

For fun, I also posted the video on YouTube and Facebook:
