Wood Base LED Example

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Eric Robert Posted in Blog Content, Glass Art Spotlight 5 Comments

Another subscriber sent me a slightly different LED example. Ron was happy to share his NASCAR etching with Jimmie Johnson’s logo here on the blog. I thought it would be good to share this with everyone else also because it is slightly different from the other two previous posts: Framed LED display here and the framed mirror display here.

Wood base led display from Ron.As you can see, Ron’s display is simply a single wood base. All you have to do is use a router to make a groove just large enough for the glass to slip into the wood. Then place the led strip at the bottom of the groove.

You can drill a hole from the side of the wood into the groove to place your electrical wires through. Then just make the wood look nice by using a wood stain and possibly coat it with polyurethane.

Ron told me that the glass he used is tempered, and the LED strip comes with a remote so you can change colors, strobe, etc. I actually bought a fairly inexpensive long strip that does the same from amazon here. It’s really cool!

    I’ve been adding “light” to my etchings for years……….One of my best sales is a chess table lit from below thru tinted glass.

    This is exactly the kind of base that I’ve been making and using; however, when exposed to the lights for several hours, I’ve experienced burning of the wood and yes, the glass too! Just beware that this may be a problem.

    @ Nadina, what type of lights were you using?

    Most LED lights produce very little heat. They do get warm after a few hours but I have never seen them HOT.
