🔧I used a white pegboard and LED strip lights to create a beautiful light display in my basement.
🎨To make the pegboard look like an art piece, I added a frame made from white boards.
💡I used 1x2 inch boards to create a frame on the back of the pegboard for added support.
🧰I secured the frame to the pegboard using screws and spackling to give it a finished look.
💻I used an ESP8266 module and the WLED software to control the LED lights.
