Couple of quick updates.
I went with Govee ARGB lights for the 4 ceiling lights, the coving lights, and the lights behind the light poster. The app is pretty solid so far, and it has all connected and worked flawlessly. I haven’t had a chance to play with the scenes, but should be fun when I get there!
Light check!
So nearly done. You can see the spacing on the overhead lights, I was worried the black would make it too dark, as the light doesn’t “paint” the walls and ceiling, but the levels are actually perfect (phew).
At this point it was all about trying to find a layout that works. I desperately want to preserve as large an open space in the middle as possible (both to give me space for VR and also because I hate how cluttered this space always was (every time I cleared up, someone would arrive and deposit a load more junk in it
.
). The light strip behind the wall PC is going to be covered in acrylic, I'm just trying to work out what combination will hide the individual LEDs, but still glow strongly enough. So far it seems like a layer of Opal, with a layer of Dark Tinted on top is best - all lifted about 5cm to allow the light to spread. The chest freezer turned out better than expected. The vinyl went on almost flawlessly, and ever the vent doesn't look too bad in preson. I may look at spraying it in the future, but at the moment I don't mind the white.
