How I made my cheap photography light and work light LED panel! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Nerdforged/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thenerdforge/ Website - http://www.natural-nerd.com/ PARTS USED: Cold white LED strips (about 15m): https://goo.gl/SmE8bi Arduino Nano: https://goo.gl/6plPSl Voltage step down: https://goo.gl/ISlIJ3 A lamp stand Mosfet and potentiometer Black spraypaint for vanity ;) I needed better lighting for my filming and project work. 15 meters of LED and an adjustable tripod makes for a great starting point. The end result of the work light was truly worth the money. Since it's a DIY, I wanted to show you how to do it, and how a LED lamp can be built inexpensively and efficiently. This photography light is dimmable, and made using arduino, mosfets, a voltage step down, and potentiometer! If you're not too comfortable with electronics, and just want a cheap lamp for photography, you can just skip the dimming part. The most important part is the smooth, white lighting that the LEDs will provide. For a better result I would definitly recommend going for some more expensive LEd-strips which provide a higher CRI and hence a better and more natural light will emit from the LED panel. If the lighting is too bright for your photography and you don't have a dimmer, you can use aluminium foil around some cardboard to create a reflector! Be creative! Thanks for watching!
