The traditional Silhouette art has charmed us for centuries, it is compellent even though it uses just some black-and-white images.  And now with the LED strips light, this black shade can get much further, lively and colorful.

This Silhouette piece of a couple of lovers is three dimensional attached to mulberry paper. Flexible RGB LED strips were coated around the poster frame inside. This art picture is absolutely unique, it jumps out of the wall and gives the room a nice atmosphere that can be controlled by changing into different color. Moreover, LED strips are bright, durable and environmentally friendly. It is definitely a good choice to make this Silhouette art as a lovers gift!

LED strips are easy and fun to use, check out project by John Cohn. He wrote on Instructable.com showing us how to make this fantastic color changing RGB LED strips headband. As John points out, this LED strips headband required very little external hardware. For girls, you can even just take any headband you have in your casket then place the LED strips on.

Well, it’s cool stuff to catch people’s attention at party or clubs, but John has been wearing one of these LED strips headbands for two years whenever he goes out , he even wear it at conferences and schools.

Since cabin, anchor and navigation lights all credit a big draw on a boat’s batteries, cruising sailors have learned not to use those kind of lights as to reserve more battery for other more important uses and to avoid their batteries dying promptly. However, LED lights provide a solution for this situation. LED light can be a perfect alternative to regular light, providing a brigther light and allowing to extend battery life, which is great for our sailor friends.

While many sailors has already replaced their cabin lights with LED bulbs, this boat owner’s had the idea of  installing more affordable LED Strip lights instead. To complete this project he required a few tools and a short length of LED strip light. He first removed the bulb out of  the current light fixture, since the LED strip’s already attached with adhesive tapes on the back, he could easily mount it in the interior of the light fixture. With just some easy steps of wiring, the cabin light with LED strips was finished and the result is even better than when using LED bulbs.
The sailor has made a before-and-after comparision on this project and he was pleased with the brighter light perfomed by LED strips. So DIY lights using LED strips prove one more to be bright, affordable and perfect for energy saving.

Have you ever seen customized cars and asked yourself how could you do it? You don’t need to change your car completely, some people want radical changes and appearance while others preffer subtle improvements. It depends totally on your style and personality. In any case, it seems pretty clear that for any lighting related improvement, the use of LED strip lighting is the leading trend.

Here is a good example of a subtle improvement. This member on VWvortex forum, who is an enthusiast about cars, created a simple but elegant DIY project using LED strip light on the bumper.
The project literally took no more than 2 hours to finish on both sides of the bumpers. All in all, this project was inexpensive and very easy to do, but the results are great since LED strips are durable and bright enough for daytime use.

No surprise to know that this members friends have started to copy his project. Meanwhile it seems he wants to continue experimenting with more LED’s on the other parts of his car.
