Agreed, they should’ve taken a lesson from the 70s and used shag carpet.
ha ha ha, thanks!
Its not wood, its a click-lock, waterproof vinyl.. that just is a really good imitation!
Got to be a symptom of end-stage capitalism.
The irony that you use a device that's way more expensive than OP's lovely project to write this comment...
?
Total project cost was $30, parts from Aliexpress, and its because i love to tinker
You did something. Now someone on the Internet is mad. Stop doing things that make you stand out. Don't you know the rules of the pit?
Very nice, I love the overall effect. Once you have motion sensing are you planning on local reaction or more of a persistence approach? Like a motion sensor and then a timer for turning off or once someone enters the room keeping them on until they leave the room?
yea, havent decided if it will always be on, and brighten, or only turn on when someones there.
The energy cost should be nearly nill, a watt or two (it 12 watts at max, and im using it at 5% for standby!)
Bookmarked for further inspiration
Looks really nice!
I would love to do something like this, also for a mirror backlight, but my bathroom only has 1 outlet, placed in a cubbard above the sink. I can't get anything from there, unless I want wires all over my bathroom walls and some long ones at that.
yea, i added costco backlit/heated mirrors.
Had to run a new wire from my light fixture, but worth it,.
Pictures a bit old, i've replaced the toilet since, as the old one was leaking
That looks really nice 👍
