Night Lights
A local pulls into the wye at Moss Landing as night falls |
While reinstalling the backdrop during my rebuild, I used a piece of 1x3 along the upper edge as reinforcement. Without meaning to, I created the perfect shelf to install some color change LEDs to help create night scenes.
1x3" furring strip running along the upper portion of the backdrop. I painted it black in areas where it's visible |
I purchased a set of Govee LED RGD Strip Lights to try out. These are bluetooth enabled, and can be controlled through an app or a remote. The app allows for different modes, infinite color choices, and timers. The strips are backed with tape, so installation is just a matter of peel and stick. The only additional purchase I needed to get, was an extension cable to fit around the electrical panel. Now there aren't any visible lights or cables, just a soft glow emanating from behind the backdrop.
Overall, I'm pleased with the result. Here's a before and after illustrating the difference.
