- In light of achieving over one-thousand subscribers (thanks everyone!), I thought I'd make another how-to video. In this one, I will show you how to build a wall-hanging light bar that looks quite modern and cool. It's a super simple build, and should be easy for most people to make.

1.66M now😂
Now it's 168,000% higher :)
Darn it! You've revealed my identity! Now I will have to lie low and not use my spidy powers for a while...
Have your spidey powers returned?
Uhmm , meanwhile in 2021 : 2.72M Subs
It's crazy how great your video production was, even at 1,000 subscribers. I always look forward to your excellent content! Keep it up Matt!
Hello there And thank you for all of your workshops on all of these things, as I am very new to these things. You have given me an appetite for wanting to do many of them for myself as home hobbies for myself seeing as I am not to well physically and doing things at home is a blessing and it is giving me a great lift spiritually too. Again my thanks. Tom Seath, South Australia
"I just got over 1000 subscribers". Now It's over 2.77 million. Still going strong. Inspirational for others. Excellent work. 👍
Watching it 7 years later, it's funny to hear "I have 1000 subscribers now..." 2.5 M to date. Great channel, Matt!
This creates great lighting conditions inside a room. There are no shadows, and it feels like you are outside with the sky above! Thanks for this video, great idea!
By the way, a super simple alternative is to glue a circular cardboard covered in aluminum foil, on the bottom of the light bulb hanging off the roof. However, it's EXTREMELY important that the bulb is LED, so it doesn't get hot. If it gets hot, it can burn the cardboard.
I love LED spindles, i swear I have seen tons of projects with these things from lights around the TV, Desk, to making cake pan lights for filmography. They are a versitle product.
I'd really like to see how you wire this into your home's power with a light switch to control it. Actually, most of the home wiring videos on CZcams are pretty low quality, so that might be a good niche your channel could serve as well.
Thank you so much for the video Matt. Very easy to understand and great ideas. My wife and I really appreciate your taking the time to share your ideas with us. We wish you all the best from Wisconsin, USA!
this is the first one of your vids which is actually realistic my level of DIY haha!! Amazing!! Love your vids mate, one of my favourite channels on youtube.
Wow 1,000 subs! Look at you now!!

Me seeing the white keyboard at 4:09 in 2021: "damn, how did you get a Raspberry Pi 400 in 2013?"
It is wonderful to see how far your channel has come, going from 1000 to 2.7m subscribers!
1:25
Luckily, he made the "How to Fix a Scratched Monitor" video...
LOL
It's actually 4 vids after this one. This is just what inspired, or rather, necessitated that video.
Lmao
Even though this video is kind of old it still has nice quality. You are one of the better youtubers Matt =)
1,000 subscribers :D Matt soaring past 3.23m in less than 8 years! Bravo!
Over a million right now. Great channel!
Was that two posters praising God I saw in that scene? Praise the Lord Matt, glad to see another brother in Christ along my CZcams travels. God bless.
Am i the only one who realizes that Matthew is soooo adorable and has amazing eyes?
Almost 3 milion now... this "quite a lot - 1000 subs" looks so innocently modest rn! :D
Thanks for the great idea! I have done it on the edge of my toolshelfes, and it works great!
I came to checkout the ideas.. but not just i got the tips but also your smile make me happy somehow.
You Brits - so polite. Everybody else shamelessly begging for subscriptions. You just said in the most polite and calming manner - "and maybe subscribe if you like what you see."
such a likeable person and knows what he is talking about. subbed
1000 subscribers now over a million
His room is so neat and clean
Congrats on 100,000 Subscribers! Awesome DIY videos! :D
Those cute little monitors hah. Love the channel.
Thanks for all the great videos. You gave me ideas for about three projects!
1 thousand is going to be 2 Million soon 👍👍🤩🎁
"thousand subs is a lot"
I wish I could time travel and show his current sub count of 3.4M to this Matt... Probably won't believe me at all
Great Video Matt, useful and practical as always
Really cool stuff!
A while ago i got a strip of RGB led lights and an IR reciever with a remote. Gives me awesome colorful lighting in my room :)

A little late to the game here but I actually just built this above my desk! Couldn't have done it without the help! Many thanks!!
As always: great video, and thanks for the videos, keep it up.
Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work mate....
Now over 530,000 subscribers. You've come a long way in a little over 3 years. I just subbed! :)
Haha 1000 subs? 2.8 million my friend. The success you've had is completely deserved!
Its April of the year 2021, and this video has nearly a million views and you're so close to 3 MILLION subscribers.
Interrupted the video within 1 minute of play and subscribed.
Thumbs up man.
Yes, Yes, Yes !!! Thank you so much, Delightful idea !:))))
Excellent video.
Love your videos man. Well done. Subbed.
amazing idea mate, thank you
Great idea, thanks for sharing
came on your channel by sheer accident i am glad i have found you your diys are right up my street subscribed thanks
As soon as you said "I just got a thousand subscribers " I looked at your current number and said GOT DAMN!
Daib Starks shup up nigga
I made a version of this a few months ago. I used a length of angle aluminium instead which also works as a heatsink for the led strip. Screwed it to the wall, connected it up to a 12V power brick and it is looking very fine.
thank you so much. this was exactly what i was looking for
Google is your friend for that kind of info ;)
USB voltage is always 5v, and .5 amps, so it wouldn't be enough to power even one meter of LED strip.
If you're using a desktop, you could use the 12v rail of the PSU, which would power it nicely. The PC would obviously have to be turned on though.
Man have you come a long way! 3.11m subs and climbing
2.31 Million subs!!! Wonderful channel, deserve a lot more!
AND NOW YOU HAVE 1.3MILLION!!!! congrats man! i love your channel! ive made almost everything youve made! your amazing man! thank you so much!!!!
thats awesome now you have 100,000! congrats :)
Hello from the future, you are now at 2.19M subscribers which is _quite_ well done mate :D
Brother you are amazing, i don't really have to many tools to build things but i love watching your videos! :)
Yeah, now over 1,1 mln :) still enjoying the videos
Hi there. Thank you so much for this upload. My friends have a beautiful wide shot phot with lots of warm tones in it but the light near by is a harsh blue and doesn't do it justice! I'm going to try this out for them!
Very nice LED strip lights！
i was looking at ikea lighting but found myself here. Im not disappointed at all except i dont have soldering iron. Great video
Nice in this video you said you had 1000 subscribers in just 3 years you now have over half a million! that is amazing :)
great videos keep them coming
Your videos make me want to learn more about circuits! I only know the basics :(
you can buy (primed) L-angle molding at any wood supply for a few bucks per 8' strip.
To prevent overheating you should always install some sort of heat sink material (e.g. aluminium strip) on which to mount the LED particularly if you are using flammable material for the coving as in this case.
Nice work, thanks🙂
Good job man !!
I just simply love your video, the way you speak is so pleasant to hear, almost like massage the ear tunnel ....:-) lol haha
Wow really cool, glad if found your channel please make more :D.
Hey Matt, thanks for the video ! Big thumbs up !!
It surely worked ! :)
very cool idea! it's not only cool, but i don't need to turn on my lamp if i want to work in the dark!
Your intelligence is so attractive, which is mostly why I watch your channel lol
i made some of these using some long plastic "L shaped" strips from B&Q - much easier than using bits of wood, and the white plastic saves painting, and reflects the light quite nicely :)
What an interesting monitor setup
It’s so relax listening to him
Great video on how to make a great light. I even noticed that you're video hints at an even greater light at 4:12, One who lights up the world. Keep Sharing the Light :)
Oh Matt, I just discovered you yesterday while I looking for a faux window and boom: the most gorgeous, smart, charming, cute, funny, creative, adventurous man I could ever see...!!!
What a delicacy to my eyes and ears... I'm gracefully and platonically in love with you 😍😄
Hugs and kisses from Ecuador 😙😙😙
1000??? holy crap congrats on your future 3M subs!
Great video, well done keep up the good work! :)
*A million subs later...*
