- This time I make a DIY concrete LED chandelier light with LED ropes. Save up to 50% on SimpliSafe and get 1 MONTH FREE when you sign up for Fast Protect Monitoring at simplisafe.com/modustrial
This Concrete LED Chandelier / Pendant Lighting is made with new LED rope. I've been looking for an LED product like this for over 5 years...and I finally found it. I combined the draping LED rope look with the urban decay concrete style i've used previously, and I think the resulting Pendant light is pretty darn cool. What do you think?

Option 3 for me
You could have used tie wire to tie the rebar together and to secure the conduit. You also need a bushing on the end of the emt to protect your electrical cable from damage.
One suggestion: can you try a design where you use the rope light in place of some of the bars of rebar? I think that might make for an interesting look.
how about telling us where to get those LED ropes?
@@Ucceah he put links in the description.
To give your concrete more of an authentic look instead of using melamine use pieces of a plywood as they would leave slate imperfections of the plywood in the veneer of the concrete giving it a more realistic look
I like Option 3 the best because it incorporates the concrete ends.
3
Think you nailed it with option 3. You're right about the light needing to be long and extending over the concrete, it also really works visually.
I liked option 2! The giant filament is a cool look.
Version 3 has my preference. But damn, this is a cool concept. As for RGB and white, you really should want one that has both RGB and separate dedicated white LEDs for best result.
Dubbed "rgbw"
@@Ozmandius And RGBWW if you want them to be warm white
@@Ozmandius there is also rgbww which has both dedicated warm and cool white leds in addition to the rgb ones to allow different color temperatures.
I didn't think I would like it when I saw it at first, but I think 3 is by far the best and it grew on me quite quickly. Great job!
thanks Frank!
Option 3 is my favorite. I feel it’s the most organic. It has a rhythm to it, like music or poetry.🌸
Option 3 looked best to me.
Two things - I’ve been a long time viewer and it’s super cool to have watched you experimenting with GFRC before anyone else, working with LEDs, working on years of projects on your building - this piece feels like it’s the culmination of years of working with all those different mediums with a great result. ALSO, very cool - I’ve followed lukelampco for a while and have always been in awe of his light sculptures - and this is a great project to make it more accessible. Great work.
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🙏
I did like the extended profile of option 3, but I believe I would personally go with option 2. I really like the 'filament' look it gave.
Actually, you could have all of them and periodically change the alignment of it whenever you get tired of it. It can be always changed, so that your visitors will be baffled when they come over and eat at your place. They will wonder why it looks different. Depending on how that LED rope connector is, maybe switching it out with different light hues or colors if they have them. It might be interesting when large get togethers of mood lighting. Good video. I enjoy watching the creativity and fun, you get making your vision come to life. Who knew as a adult, one gets to play with sand construction and make a living from it.
Option 3 is awesome, the long, smooth flowing curves of the light contrast the hard, square and flat shapes of the concrete and rebar perfectly. Nicely done!
Something to consider when it comes to rigging standards for overhead installations. Where I work we almost always use a combination of brass inserts with 1/4 20 steel shouldered eyebolts with quick links rated to exceed your maximum hanging weight. These are not only much more secure than two screwed in hooks, but with primary and secondary connection points (4 separate inserted shouldered eye bolts) in the case of say an earthquake or something hanging or catching on the installation you can be confident the connection points will not fail and potentially fall on someone, avoiding injuries and or property damage.
As a beginner interior architect, I would absolutely go with the third option. With the rope spread out all across the entire beam, you'll be able to light up a larger surface area in comparison to the other two designs.
The design itself is also calmer and more elegant than the other two, it fits your interior better in my opinion. The concrete ends are also truly incorporated into the light now.
For a more clean look. You should looking a Nico press with the copper sleeves. Instead of the (Crosby) you called them saddle clamps. It’s 100% cleaner. Also just a warning wire rope bought at a hardware store is not rated for overhead lifting. It will work but there is some danger in it about 10% . Love your content been watching it for years @modustrial.
Option 3 is the best here. Love how you’ve taken this from concept to complete.
Option 3 - Great idea - i love your style and spin with what you create!!!
Loved Lukelamp forever. I've tried making these myself using marine rope sheeting. They definitely did not look as perfectly diffused as the store-bought version. I also can't get enough of this style of lighting.
Not shown in this video...the basket full of tubes, sheathing, cable cover, etc I bought trying to recreate it before I found the pre-made one. Probably spent a $1000 on products i didn't use... it was a journey.
I too have been trying to make this style of rope light for ages! Im so happy that its finally available for us DIY'ers to play around with!
I like Option 2. But if you had a little more length to play with, I think Option 3 could look better. As #3 is now, I think the LED rope is too spaced out and just going from point A to point B, hence why I think having a little more length could take it up a notch. Honestly, any of them would be great. Overall great project and I love the look.
Option 3, I love the idea of it looping/incorporating the concrete.
Definitely Option 3 because it incorporates the concrete ends to make the light one unit, not just the rebar center. Thanks for the work.
I like option 3 best, but it looks a bit unbalanced to me. It may look better if the left side also looped over the end of the block like right side does. Love the way it looks
Been here since 1000 keep up the great work❤❤❤
So funny you posted this today - I just took delivery TODAY of a meter of this LED rope randomly discovering it a couple of weeks back. I love this new led strip format and can't wait to play with it - will definitely be ordering some more. I think it might be fun for creating "neon" style signs!
Option 3 suits the length of your table. I was thinking about what I should do with my dining room lights, your video gave me ideas worth exploring!
Oh man! There’s even a lamp project going on with the dog!!!!
Nice build though! Didn’t know about that led braided rope. It’s cool!
Great build. Definitely door number 3 Monty. Extends the light source, and there is a wonderful interaction with the light and the cement.
I like how spread out option 3 is, good choice!
For the emissions comment: concrete is about 1/1 in weight CO2 vs it's own weight. Not too bad on furniture scales, bad on city scales.
yeah that emissions comment was virtue signaling. personal projects like this are going to have a negligible effect
@@EntG1eating a single avocado is more environmentally damaging than making 50 of these
Option 3 for sure! Love that it goes over the end that wouldnt normally incorporate the light. (Not that this is a normal light by any means)
I love this. Option 3. Option 2 isn't bad either but three really incorporates the light into the fixture, making it one thing.
You need to paint the clamps & maybe even the wires. I think if you paint them black, they won't stand out as much.
Looks awesome! Option 3 for sure. I'd like to make one myself, but maybe just with a simple wood beam as a base.
Glad you posted. Was missing your videos! Hope all is well.
*What's awesome about it is you can always switch it up and change the configuration*
Option 3 is the best but I would put the string of light on the left side of the fixture to be on the other side or at least go through the cable, just to have a little bit of symmetry 👍👍
I like 3 but 2 is my favorite, and if you had a longer piece I would just do 2 but bigger to incorporate the concrete ends. I just love how it really did look like a bulb filament!
I love randomness and “urban decay” look but I also really love when something simple visually rhymes with something very familiar… so even if you don’t recognize it at first, your eye goes “hey that’s really familiar… I’ve seen that before… but where?” and then halfway through dinner it clicks and you go “Oh damn! It’s a lightbulb!” Hahaha
That’s my reason for choosing 2 as my favorite, but I do agree about including the concrete. Like I said, a longer rope would allow the best of both!
Option 3 for sure. It looks so flowy. I can wait to see you do more smaller scaled projects in your work shop ❤
Option 3. Would not have thought about this style, but it looks great in your space!
Option 3
Really really dig the idea of a rope light id love to incorporate that into my own home
Go with Option 3 man! Love all that urban decay art you are doing. That LED lighting looks really fun! Great work and always look forward to your content.
Option 3 looks much better! Love the idea! ❤
Option 2 is stunning!
Option 3. Fantastic use of led rope.
Option 3, but honestly all of them look really good... and what a cool idea/concept.
you are an inspiration when creating lamp !!!
The add read is fantastic.
I think number 2 was my favorite. It's a really cool piece.
Definitely option #3 as it looks tremendously good. Great video.
Option 3. Looks like the large looping and elongation fits the space to best light the area.
Option 2. I like the Edison bulb look. Great video!
3, 2, 1 in order of preference. This is great stuff! Thank you.
Nice job. Option 3 looks the best.
Option 3 is the best choice, spreads out the design and the light and gives more to look at. I was thinking how would it look if you went back over the top of the concrete and then wrap around the centre and wrap around the concrete on the other side, could look cool
I like # 3. It's larger so it gives more light. Nice job.
Amazing result, option 3 for sure
That AD read was so good that I had to watch thru all of it! thank you for making ads enjoyable.
Option 2. BTW, congrats on using the saddle clamps correctly! I've seen bridges that 'saddled the dead horse', so major props.
I liked option 3 but it could be super cool to start the first loop going back over the concrete and in between the cables before looping around. It would light more of the table and look cool to have it circle around the outside end of each concrete block.
Option 3, just seems more aesthetically pleasing. Cool project!
Option 3 is amazing!
Definitely 3 Great job. Looks awesome.
I appreciate the effort to make the ad actually funny. Top work
Option 3!!! Looks Great and Super Cool Project!!
thanks Blake!
Option 2 for me it gave it a sort of halogen tube bulb look with the filament in between end caps, doesnt matter anyways it'll look cool in any configuration.
Bro you have such crazy ideas, love it.
I like option 3 but make the left side go over the concrete too. Think it would look awesome. Great project.
great design all options are valid!
My vote would be for option two, i like the semi separation going Concrete - Light - Concrete, it kind of gives it the feel of the lights having broken free from the concrete. That is just what i prefer though and you should go with what you like the most!
this is soooo cool! love option 1, but definitely go with no 3. Suuurrrrrrr
Definitely option 3. Great build.
Excellent work!!
Option 2 looks like a signature to me and i like yhat the most, 3 is the next best as its the most spread out but still looks lt has a good flow
This lamp is so creative. I liked all 3. You can always change it
One of the best ever! My man Mike still Killin it
That lights awesome. That would look really cool in a bar too
2 is my fav, Nicely done sir.
Glad to see you back again in style!
:-)
First time watching your channel, colour me shocked about the Ten Hundred Mural in your background! Amazing
Config 3 is pretty sweet! I'm really impressed with your work here :)
I think option #3 is the way to go. Looks the best!
You gained a follower because of attitude and personality the video taught a lot thanks
i think either one or two, but i also think a straight light with this warm white would look really good too, like just a straight filament through the centre of the two blocks
Option no. 3 blends all the elements 😊
Option 3!!!
I used to watch you religiously during Covid but somehow got out of the habit? So glad this video popped up on my timeline and brought you back to me. YAY love this
Option 3, spreading the light out helps highlight all of the build.
I LOVE option 2 but I also see why 3 is the most practical. I propose option 4, a longer light or second light that then creates a combination of options 2 & 3.
Given the three options, I'd say #3 is the best looking by far.
Although I'd love to see a take on option 2 that incorporates the concrete ends, and possibly a variant that mimics a DNA spiral, but that's also probably quite a challenge given the fixed length of your lighting elements.
Lighting option 3 definitely had the best balance, so that one!
Cool light fixture. Liked the Third best- almost wich you had three more ft of light rope. Or hidden uplights in the top of the concrete to cast some slightly different colored light on to the ceiling.
I liked option 2 it looked awesome!
Option 3 look the best …. I love it
2 and 3 both look great 😊
I also like option 3, but because it spreads out the light more to the ends of the table.
This is so cool!!! Option 3 as well
great work!
Love it! Option 3 for me, no brainer, the concrete needs to light up also😉
You nailed it. I like option #3 the best👍🏾
Thanks much!
option 3 definitely. makes it appear bigger and brighter.
Option 2 is my favorite!
