So it’s assembled, just need to protect the wood from moisture.
The ‘behind the mirror’ lights are working nicely, it’s based on WLED, the LED’s inside are SK6812, so it has very nice white, as well as RGB.
And then I off course need to polish the mirror :-)
It’s going to be set up before halloween, and I already have videos of ghosts ready and tested ;-)
I sent the oracal back (very expensive stuff) as I could get much cheaper and darker stuff from our local hardware store.
So I got the back covered with it, and then cut holes in it for the LED lights and monitor, it seems to work very well.
So, things are shaping up, I’ve gotten the mirror rebuilt, I had to swap the monitor, it was getting too hot.
The new one is much cooler.
I also got the lights mounted, it’s a mixture of fun and serious, it will give light for usage, but it’s also RGB, so it can do effects if we want to :-)
This image shows the lights turned to it’s lowest (apart from being off, of course. The foil is still on, until I get the mirror properly fixed to the frame, it has the foil on.
Go to the community order on this page, that’s proper mirrors, and they are very good quality. They cost a bit more than a bendy acryllic sheet, or a film, but they are well worth it :-)
Go to the community order on this page, the mirrrors he is offering is real mirrors, and the best I’ve found.
Ahh, ok, then I know exactly what it is :-)
I got some oracal651 as suggested by @Hubschra01 , but that was slightly more transparent than the one I already had. So I’m going to stick with the cheap stuff I already had, and return the oracal651.
@Goldjunge_Chriz is it correct that I can foil the back of the mirror and then cut through the foil without ruining the ‘mirror foil’ as that is applied to the front of the glass in your variant?
@bhepler What is ‘construction paper’? But, yes, the adhesive needs to be invisible.
I got some black foil for windows, I’m going to try and mount that, and put a flashlight to it, to see how well it does. The oracal foil mentioned by @Hubschra01 is very expensive, but probably also of better quality, I think I’m going to try that next.
Great, thankyou for the suggestions, I definetely have something to go with now.
