Building The FANCIEST Floating Shelves EVER!

What happens here

Cut the LED diffuser channels to the appropriate length for each shelf. Install the LED diffusers into the pre-routed channels on the underside of each stained shelf box. The diffusers should snap into place or be secured with small screws. Once the diffusers are in, the finished shelves are slid onto the wall brackets, with the LED wires fed through the back of the shelves and connected to the main LED driver. Secure the driver to the top shelf with screws if not already done.

Goal: Insert LED diffusers into shelves, then mount the finished shelves onto the wall brackets, connecting the LED wiring.

pigtail to connect this LED light there the funny thing is it was not up till last year or the earlier this year when I did the bathroom remodel I didn't know that led diffusers were a thing like they existed until somebody was like Hey you know you could have just done that right instead of pouring epoxy so here we are today learning new things I guess you can't just snap them you got to feed them through I don't like this okay there we go we just gotta nope it didn't maybe there it is [Applause] thank you [Music] oh you just gotta fold the sides in not necessarily push them straight down the middle oh that's so much easier dang I'm a dummy what'd you think of that huh I will say I don't like one thing about these diffusers is that they didn't send me ends on this so that's kind of shoddy so maybe I'll have to find them online or something let's go see how we did [Music] and in case you're wondering hey what happened to your fancy quick connects uh the wiring did add up but because this is not color coded it was some are positive some were negative and they weren't lining up with all these little pigtails so I just decided to keep it simple stupid foreign [Music] again the driver cannot go inside this shelving unit it would have been perfect to mount it there since we have to change our plans I'm going to pop this out mount it there while power is going to come out here this power is going to drop in plug it in play but I'll sit in the corner and because it's going to be the very top and I'm sure somebody's going to be covering it it's not going to be an eyesore but man it'll be so much nicer if I was just in here nice and perfect I don't have to deal with the haters than comments saying that's hideous but try not to burn down my house
