HMS Gaming Table
9 - But most of all, pleeeeeease, let there be ...
…light
This bit was relatively straightforward, it mostly just involved fastening cable clips to the underside of the upper surface and mounting the brackets for the LED strips. Not particularly exciting, it was a bit of a chore trying to hammer the tiny clips into the wood, it certainly didn’t do my finger and thumb any good.
The lights themselves are just the multi coloured LED strips from Ikea, I can’t remeber the name, probably some daft sound psuedo-swedish word like LÆD or something. Anyway, I bought two sets and mounted the switches side by side at one end. The power supplies are nicely hidden out of the way and cannot easily be disconnected without venturing inside the table, so as long as the table is plugged into the mains, the lights will work.
However, unlike the beading, there was absolutely no question at all whether this step was worth it. Check this out (imagine the tune from Phantom Mennace is playing in your head, yes, this one)
